Stress and itching

Recommended Posts

I have been very stressed lately.  Yesterday chest and neck itched.  Had a couple of times this time I panicked and googled and now have itches all over.  Anyone else had this.

Hello Maria and yes I am one that does myself and the more I am anxious the more I Itch and scratch then pick. !!

We get rashes and hives and then scratch and spread them or the dry skin you can not see which does itch . Very common in those of us with anxiety and panic along with depression.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this .

Take care Pink..

Now that is a good example of the dangers of consulting Dr, Google. When in an anxiety state we are so open to suggestion. Unfortunately, Dr, Google is very negative in his replies, and what was a minor problem can become a big one due to suggestion. It is not generally realised that when vulnerable we will believe anything. If we fill our minds with all the negativity on Google, we will finish up in a worse state than before. Googling is very dangerous if you suffer from heath anxiety. The only person to believe is your doctor. Your body responds to your mind, not the other way round, or it may seem so. If it's in your mind then it can manifest in your body with anxiety. Never underestimate the power of the mind in suggestion.    Best wishes.     John.
