can anyone give tips for not feeling like there’s bugs on you whenever you see bugs or hear bugs or someone talks about bugs? it’s genuinely kind of debilitating for me and i don’t know what to do about it

that sounds like ocd, tbh I have ocd and the only thing that has helped my compulsions are getting on medication

I'm not sure how to explain, just that I experienced very similar things and my psychiatrist told me it was from my ocd

totally fair, I don't mean to diagnose you! that said though I would still talk to some kind of mental health professional about what youre experiencing
