    it's the worst when you think you've recovered from health anxiety and then you relapse..

    Hi friend! Your right..We need to stop googling symptoms it makes the anxiety worse and won't recover ! When you feel a symptom accept it and continue doing what you were doing and not go hide ..Shows your mind your ok ..that's what I've been doing and feel much better!

    This holds so true. It started where I thought I had a heart condition. Then, it went to stomach cancer. Right now, it is about brain aneurysms and brain cancer.

    I still struggle with Google addiction but it's not as extreme as it was in the past, but the struggle to fighting it is really hard due to having OCD, and it doesn't help being autistic and having Aspergers either.

    This sounds so much like me. I've had 3 bad injuries this year, and I feel like the doctors don't care. So here I am always googling trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Anxiety only makes my pain worse. Started getting muscle twitches in my injury spots from the anxiety too. Thank you for the videos, it's nice to know there's others like you out there. I think my wife is fed up with me telling her all the conditions I seem to align with haha!

    That's a really great point. Google only lists like 6 things and of course I've had cancer countless times. 😆 And yes...even when we look at medical sites I will still freak myself the hell out.
    Does anyone notice that the constant rumination about our "disease" prolongs the symptoms?

    I remember a few years ago when a stomach bug was going around (I threw up) loads of horrible muck and also had diarrhea , I was silly enough to google it, and saw this could be a sign of stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer and a few others

      Literally just about over this hill myself! Went to the doctors feeling like an absolute moron, didn’t dare tell my family or boyfriend I was going because I was so embarrassed. My memory has never been great! And I get mixed up speech when I talk to fast so convinced myself I had a brain tumour too.

      @@sellarose Hi! I head a migraine and the first symptom of it coming on was flashes in the eyes and thats super common for migraines! But I googled it anyway and was told I have a brain tumor. From there I started overanalyzing myself and found my stutter and I was mixing uo my words. However I have always been like that, I have dyslexia and two other learning disorders. What I am getting at is once your scared you overanalyze yourself once you think something is wrong. Be kind to yourself and see if the symptoms start to go away (they usually do).

    Heeiii cherelle. Först of all you are amazing.
    I know you have had anlot of different symtoms but have you had kindnof weird symtoms that ate not even a real symtomd. Like i could just be doing something i i know notice something on my body that i think looks weird. Like my hands have some dry parts and i panic and think its something out of order. Like even now i just did a corona test at home and when i put the little thibg on thenside of my throught i kind ofndid not feel the thing on there. Its kind of soft so it doesnet scratch that much but if felt numb then i was in there with my finger nail scratching and even scratch myself cuz i saw a bit of blood and panic ed even more like i get this obsession to ask does everyone feel this way..their tonsills..and thisbis not the först time i get like this over random things. So hard
