Somatization disorder?

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?

That doesn't sound like somatization disorder. It could be conversion disorder.

thanks for the response, I also sometimes get unexplainable burning in my bladder once in a while, I always seem to urinate frequently too. but there is no infection and also sexual intercourse is painful sometimes, without knowing the cause.
