Okay, so I was just wondering if anyone else sees bugs. Like roaches. Whenever I pass my eyes from the walls to the floor or from my counter to the walls I see a slight shadow that looks like a bug. But when you check, nothing is there. Does anyone else experience anything similar to this?

Yes. A few months ago, I started seeing vague black round blob shapes with legs scurrying about that are 'spiders'. But when I look again, there's nothing there. It is happening several times a day. I really hate spiders so it's quite disconcerting and I haven't gotten used to it yet, even though I can tell they're not real, so I'm on high alert for bugs. The other day I saw something on my foot that I thought was a spider, and I freaked out, but turned out to be a fly!

Occasionally, I also see visually realistic spiders that look identical to the real thing, crawling either on me or right next to me. It's hard to tell that they're not real until they disappear, and they majorly freak me out. Hopefully, my reactions will calm down as I get used to this happening.

I hope that you find a way to cope with this too

Not sure if this is what you mean by similar, but, When Im paranoid/psychotic I see myself buried in bug realm. Antennas creeping out of walls and growing out of my face. Everything seems to be composed of bug parts and alive, breathing...

Yes, definitely. I have often seen bugs.

But i do not generally find bugs disturbing, so for me this is okay.
