The bodily sensations I'm having are odd- like for days it's felt like there is a thin thread is wrapped around one of my toes. Any time my hairs touch my face I get agitated, because I really don't like the feeling. It feels like there are small bugs walking on me, almost like an itch but when I scratch it or rub it, the feeling just comes up somewhere else on my body.
I feel really disgusting from the inside out, like my organs are rotting. My stomach disorder is probably causing that, but I woke up today and my whole life feels like how my stomach does.
I feel muted, dull colors like brown and red. I want to paint that, actually, which is good because I haven't had the desire to make any art for months, but I still don't really feel up to painting. I think the word "ambivalence" is really describing my life right now.
And I keep seeing faces in everything. Objects, like a chair or an exercise machine, look like someone who is sitting down and looking at me, and even though I do a double or triple-take and confirm that it's just an inanimate object, it still feels like someone watching me.
It's really upsetting to me right now, because I don't have the energy to cope with this while I'm trying to figure out my life. There's no time.

It's relief to know I'm not the only one having this problem. I dunno whether it'll help you, OP, but what helps me a bit is to do something that'll keep me preoccupied like browsing the net, reading, or playing a game and, when I'm in bed, keep my eyes shut to keep myself from seeing faces pop up in stuff.
Perhaps it has something to do with anxiety or stress?
