Charrio Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Some medications can give that effect, have you had any recent changes like such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexxx-Returns Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Do you have pets at all?Only asking 'cause I had that feeling once, of bugs crawling all over me, when I was sleeping in my parents' bed with our boxer when my parents were away, and I found out the next day that boxer had lots and lots of fleas.

DevilishlyHandsome49 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Nah, no pets but oh my god, that must've been terribleI think its my fear of bugs crawling on me in the dark and my brain is just constantly pulling tricks on me. Maybe to keep me on my toes for when it does happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your brain probably thinks something is actually crawling on your skin, when it isn't. It's not necessarily something to worry about, but if it keeps up you may want to see a doctor. I used to get shit like that because I was afraid of the dark, so my mind would go into overdrive trying to make me turn on the light. I hated it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurseeyeroll Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Skin crawling symptoms can be an early symptom of other illnesses or side effects of others issues that lead to skin picking, or dermotillomania. Body focused repetitive behaviors have many etiologies. Anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and substance withdrawal (ETOH, Opioids, Tramadol, Meth etc.).

I used to get shit like that because I was afraid of the dark, so my mind would go into overdrive trying to make me turn on the light. I hated it.Formication... Does this term have something to do with ants? That's clever.A year or so ago, I kept waking up to super loud noises (tires screeching, cars crashing, explosion noises, etc) that weren't actually there. It was weird. I'd wake up in a panic, and walk out into the hallway to listen and see if the noise woke anyone else up too, but it was all in my head. It was really stressful to wake up like that, but thankfully I don't get that sensation anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, what you're describing there is actually known as "Exploding Head Syndrome". This shit fascinates me, which is why I know about it. It's not as scary as it sounds, it's just a peculiar condition. And yep, apparently "formication" comes from the Latin "formicare", crawl like an ant. Which is funny, because the Danish word is "myrekryb", which is really just "ant crawl". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't trying to imply that this was the same thing as formication though, sorry if I was unclear.Exploding Head Syndrome is kind of a cool name too, I guess. Sounds like a good band name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
