Anxiety???
A few years ago, I entered my closet and saw thousands of tiny flying bugs. Since then, I've been extremely scared of bugs : I was scared to go outside at night because I thought the dirt on the ground was earthworms, I screamed because I thought an ant was on my hand and I used to have some nightmares. When that happens, I start hyperventilating, my pulse accelerates and I feel hot and sweaty. My guess is anxiety, but could you help me find out what's wrong an how to stop it?
