Scary Bodily Sensations

Hi there. I am 21 years old and relatively healthy. Exactly a week ago, I felt like my arms were weightless/numb in the shower. Since then, I have been hyper-focused morning to night about these symptoms. I've had soft stools/diarrhea almost instantly when I get worked up about it. I had it one week prior to the weightless sensation last Thursday. It is difficult for me to focus on anything else. When I do, the symptoms seem to wane but then I am aware of the feeling and it all comes back. I feel weightless--like I can't feel the presence of my limbs or the weight of things I am holding. It started with my arm, but now it comes and goes all over my body. If I touch a given body part with a sharp object (a pin, etc) I can feel it. If someone touches me I can feel it. Just the normal weight and presence I feel isn't there though I can move and operate normally. I went to the ER almost a month ago (unrelated) for what I believed to be a TIA (mini-stroke) or migraine. They did a CT, had labs, and I saw a neurologist and everything came back normal. Other than that, I have been very stressed. I work a high-stress job and have C-PTSD from childhood trauma. I just kind of feel like a brain in a sensationless body until I touch something. If I hold my hands together, it is hard for me to tell what sensation I feel in the right hand versus left and I can often only seem to feel one sensation at a time. Can anyone relate or explain??
