Why do I see bugs that really there?

There are a few different reasons why you might see bugs that aren't really there.

1. Eye floaters. These are bits of tissue that float around in the vitreous humor, the clear liquid that fills the eyeball. Floaters are usually harmless and don't require treatment. They can become more visible as you get older, or if you have certain eye conditions, such as cataracts or diabetic retinopathy.

2. Hallucinations. These are vivid, dream-like experiences that can occur while you're awake or asleep. Hallucinations can be caused by a variety of factors, including mental illness, drug use, or certain medical conditions.

3. Flashbacks. These are involuntary memories of past events that can be triggered by something in your environment. Flashbacks can be very intense and can make you feel like you're reliving the event all over again. They're often associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but they can also be caused by other mental health conditions or by drug use.

4. Paranoia. This is a feeling of fear, anxiety, or distrust that something is wrong or that someone is planning to harm you. Paranoia can be caused by a variety of mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, paranoia, or delusional disorder.

5. Psychosis. This is a severe mental illness that can affect a person's thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Psychosis can cause hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia.

If you're seeing bugs that really aren't there, it's important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Treatment will depend on the cause of your symptoms.
