Somatization disorder and agitated depression?

I think I may know what is wrong with me now. For the past year since I had a boyfriend I seem to have all these physical sensations. The sensations are irritable tingly feeling in the spine or a dead depression feeling, anxiety and sometimes I feel happy. These sensations happen throughout the day.  A analogy of how I feel is when a light is flickering off and on.  I feel like that is what is going on in my brain, flickering off and on, then I get really freaked out. It seems like every since I met my boyfriend this has gotten worse. I have never obsessed about depression symptoms before I met him. Now I just notice every sensation in my body, I cant get my mind off of it. Me and my boyfriend always go on nice outings like to the mountains, beach, nice restaurants, but I can never enjoy it because of these physical sensations. I have never had this problem so severe before I met him him.  I have had depression symptoms before but I never obsessed about it before, only this past year.  Could this be Somatization disorder?  along with agitated depression?

From what you describe it might be but if it started with a recent relationship there might be some standard psychological issues and as well it might be worsening the standard symptoms you experience. Or both could be occur at once. It depends if it has occurred before and if it occurs in reaction to other events. It would be essential to keep track of it and think if this has occurred in the past at any time, especially with other relationships and discuss all this with your psychiatrist.

thanks for the response, yeah  i have obsessed over other sensations before like my bladder burns sometimes without a infection and sometimes sexual intercourse is painful. yeah i need to find a psychologist for a evaluation, I am sick of going to these low income psychiatrists and them just ignoring me then giving me medication without even properly evaluating me.
