Is it normal for a person with anxiety to feel physically dirty?

Sometimes I get this feeling of being physically dirty. I get it when I feel deep emotional stress. It's a sort of revulsion that I can only describe as being coversed with filth or blood. I also get it when I see too much gore. I feel it is strongly tied to my anxiety.

    I go through that. When my anxiety is really bad I'll feel like bugs are underneath my skin and I need to shower for hours to get it off. Just know you aren't alone, and keep fighting through it even though this may get difficult.

    I voted normal, because although I'm not entirely sure I feel this weird sense. What you are talking about kinda reminds me of when I see a horror movie with too many creepy crawlies in it, or if I've been watching a show about bug infestations, then I start to kinda itch even though I know there is nothing on me.

    Yes, it's normal for crazies to be abnormal.
