is this a proper phobia..??
I know i have Arachniphobia, and its the same kind of feeling i get when i feel something on me or it feels like something is "running across my skin"..
i get really anxious and stressed out.
Is there a special name for it??
Should i go to the doctors about it?? because i really dont want it..it drives me insane..and its a stupid thing to be scared of :-(

Your Doc can help you with that for sure with a little anxiety treatment. I feel the same way...a lot. I am petrified of anything that crawls. And the thought that something is on me sends me over the top. If a string on my shirt is tickling my arm, i freak, if a loose hair has fallen on me, i freak. It's terrible. We just bought an old farmhouse and i can't sleep because of all the creepy crawly critters i see roaming around here. We are now over run with hugh black crickets. I made my husband exterminate, but we need a professional for sure.
You can attend meetings that deal with phobias. Talk to your Doc and he can probably direct you where to go.
It is not a stupid thing to be afraid of. Our fears are real and they upset us.
Talk about a phobia, i flip out if cold water gets splashed on me. I kind of act like a freak. I can't take a shower because i hate the feeling of the water dripping down my back from my wet hair after i turn off the shower. Okay, how weird is that? My husband squited me with the hose from the sink and i ran off hysterical. He says i'm quirky, i say it's a phobia.

I do not know what kind of mental health issues you have been evaluated for in the past, but it sounds like you have some sensory integration disorder. You should talk to your doctor about possibility of treatment by occupational therapy. Good luck.
