GOOGLING ADDICTION

[@kejsida4921]

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

[@aadritasaha8473]

Yes it is😭My anxiety has come back again todaayyy.I don't know if this is serious or not.Why do I always keep on getting weird things.I can't live like this anymore.😭😭

[@abbycoomber]

i wrote a list of all the illnesses i convinced myself from googling and there were over 40, all cause of google, i had none.

[@mr.smiley6422]

I made videos sometimes of my self as if that I have cancer.

[@pagrant]

I got up to 150 illnesses, including the ones which are more worrying, the type of cancers I can't get because I am not the right sex

[@elzaakajtazi827]

Thank you so much for posting regularly ❤️ it is really needed

[@cherellethinks]

You’re so welcome! Glad it helps. Thanks for watching. 🤍

[@sanchez4500]

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!

[@cherellethinks]

Exactly that! Thank you for watching! 🤍

[@PeterBerisha]

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.

[@sovereignsoulutions6612]

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?

[@mr.smiley6422]

Absolutely.

[@sleepy7002]

I’ve been experiencing this for weeks. It really affects my everyday life. How are you now? Any tips?

[@sovereignsoulutions6612]

@@sleepy7002 Not too much better lol

[@wtbwrites1806]

I'm so glad I've found your channel. So many like minded people in the comments as well

[@wtbwrites1806]

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.

[@justinroper4220]

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!

[@kevinbaxter7390]

Totally agree I understand its not beneficial but I still do it I daily look at my illness incase I missed any Symptoms Health and Anxiety is very deliberating 🙏

[@cherellethinks]

It really is tough isn’t it!

[@martyn6542]

I get worried when someone asks me if I've lost weight and my anxiety shoots threw the roof i ring my doctors and Google everything on my phone

[@Mawo3pg]

Omg I've had that SO many times. "Have you lost weight?" Holds soooo much power to people with health.. its the worst.

[@martyn6542]

Someone asked me other month and I was like WHAT no I don't think I have made me over eat too and kept looking in mirror to see any changes and stuff really plays on the mind even now after so many months still plays on me

[@ThatsSoCindy]

I googled Headache and now I am scared I have a brain tumor because of my speech and memory and concentration is messed up now and my body is now feeling all the symptoms! 😭😣 Google is my worst enemy

[@sellarose]

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.

[@ThatsSoCindy]

@@sellarose it is the worst girl :( fr fr I’d give anything to not live like this!

[@mr.smiley6422]

Me I think I have metastatic cancer.

[@rebeccacimmino7767]

@@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).

[@pagrant]

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

[@validwarrior77]

Described it perfectly bravo 😭😭

[@Mawo3pg]

Thanks Cherelle, as always, ive been here many many times.

[@cherellethinks]

Thanks for watching. 🤍

[@Postivedean]

[@crazycats6354]

after a year and a half, here I am again, googling my symptoms

[@cherellethinks]

It really sucks doesn’t it!

[@Snack_Package]

Google caused my whole current month long spiral out of control... I went from googling why my skin was itchy to thinking I have liver cancer to thinking I had MS to thinking I have ALS.....and just like magic, the more I googled the more my symptoms would change.

[@matthewacusworth8538]

What about watching health anxiety videos, is that coping behaviour....

[@Mawo3pg]

I wonder that too.. I've been been it is a compulsion..

[@pagrant]

I think my parents should have took or block websites for me. when I had bad health anxiety, I still have anxiety

[@Micky1884]

Great video Cherelle, brilliant advice

[@cherellethinks]

Thank you so much for watching. 🤍

[@johnlant1730]

I have eye floaters anxiety. :(

[@bina.zmdmfnnattitydenll1945]

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

[@pagrant]

people try and block these websites

[@PlayHT-TextToSpeechReader]

I tried not to Google symptoms a day ago but I failed lol

[@cherellethinks]

That’s okay! It happens sometimes. It’s a real tough addiction to get rid of. You’ll get there though. 🤍

[@PlayHT-TextToSpeechReader]

Thanks, I know I can win anxiety

[@mr.smiley6422]

I've already memorized all the medical terminologies of cancer.

[@pagrant]

it is like a drug

[@jessespence9701]

If only I had my appetite back that my health anxiety would almost go away!! Two Drs insist its all my anxiety ugh its been months please anyone else with this?

[@niilo2852]

My appetite is gone too buddy. Its been gone for a few years now. I still eat a normal amount but that hunger sensation is gone. I mean, i figure if it was anything super serious I woulda seen something else by now. Its been at least 2 years.

[@sellarose]

Yes! My anxiety has been so bad recently and I noticed a loss of appetite especially in the morning and I used to love breakfast 😭

[@alondraacosta-mora6504]
