Not sure if this is anxiety or what.. what do you think?

So for the last 3-4 months I’ve been having this incredibly weird uncomfortable feeling running trough my entire body. It’s almost as if I can’t feel my legs when I try to rub them towards eachother. All i feel is a tingly/itchy feeling. It sorta feels like when your foot falls asleep, just more intense and all over my body... if i stand up, I really don’t notice it that much, but as soon as i touch a surface or rub my legs or arms or whatever body part together, it happens. At one point i was itching all over my body so I made scratch marks and started bleeding many places because it was so hard to stop, but that time has passed now fortunately, but i am still left with this bizzare feeling. At worst i can barely feel what i touch, i close my eyes and can’t feel the difference between skin and texture. The weird part is that it seems to have a connection to when i eat. Right after i consume food the feeling intensifies and gets a lot worse, but dissopates over a few hours back to the normal state. When it comes to my mental state I can’t really say i’m depressed right now. I’m not super happy, but not directly depressed either. So i genuinely don’t know what would trigger anxiety in me. 

I haven’t had a normal feeling in my body for almost half a year now and I’m afraid this will never go away rolleyes It actually occured the first time over 1 and a half year ago, but only lasted for 1-2 weeks at a time, but now it has stayed and won’t go away..

Appreciate the feedback!

It sounds similar to what I’m going through. It the sensation of numbness all over, i sometimes can’t feel my bladder when I pee. My body feels like it’s sedated, it’s a really weird sensation. My dr says it’s anxiety. I get flare ups, some last pretty long. I am battleling a flare as we speak. I get them really strong around my chest area, sometimes I can’t feel my breathing . Lately when I eat I sometimes feel my throat is numb. I really can’t stand this anymore. It will be one year exactly since anxiety took over my life and around 9 months since I’ve been feeling this numbing sensation 

Yes, I have had these sensations especially in my legs. I am still not completely sure its all anxiety although anxiety absolutely makes it worse. I still get them but I would say they are about 75% better if I am able to not obsess and stress out about them. I just accept that they are there. Its a really tough thing to do!! But work on the anxiety part and the other part does at least reduce...

I only get that one symptom though, sounds to me like I’m lucky that that’s my only symptom when I read your replies, but I don’t really feel lucky.. I am left uncertain of what is actually causng this s**t and I feel no closer to finding out. I thought for a second it might be missing iron supplement, but i just checked that up and my iron levels are fine. Other than that I have a chronic shoulder problem that is getting worse and worse as we speak, and no one has been able to find out the cause for 1 and a half year now.. so now It’s so bad that I can’t go to work because of it.. 

Might be a side effect of that but i really dont have a clue. I don’t understand why I should have anxiety. My mental health is alright, but my physical is not the best at the moment. Could physical pain trigger it? And maybe the fear of never getting rid of it causes a certain type of anxiety within me? hmmm
