Paranoid I have bugs on me

[Jade]

This sounds really silly when I type it out but perhaps it’s not just me? I have a phobia of certain bugs and sometimes I get paranoid they are on me. I’ll explain- If I’m in a field or outside and I get a sudden shooting pain in my ear I’ll think it’s an ear wig that's got into my ear. If a part of my body starts getting too itchy I think it’s because I have a bug crawling on me.I remember being on a coach and completely panicking myself and had to take of all my clothes in the toilets to inspect them because I had an itchy sting in my back and was convinced that a beetle or something was in my dress and biting me.
Does anyone have any advice how to deal with this phobia please or have experienced something similar?

This is a difficult one - what brings this on? What is your mood at the time? Do you feel anxious?
