For a long time occasionally I will feel a sensation such as a bug crawling on my skin I slap where I feel it but nothing's there. I have several other sensations nut this one happens more frequently. Any idea what this is?

    Hi there!

    I get this very often and I'm almost positive a lot of people who do not have mental illness get this as well. I have very bad paranoia, though so I almost always feel like there is something on me or touching me, behind me or around me etc. From my experience I've never been told by a doctor that this is not normal. I say you have nothing to worry about but if you feel like it is very bad and you cannot take it please do see a doctor as it's always better to be safe than sorry.

    All the best xx
