Googling

Started googling again and am sure I have a physical illness. Wil try and speak to my GP next week. Feel really low and desperate

That Google has a lot to answer for!!!!!! I purposely didn't Google my husband's recent serious heart problems as I didn't want to scare myself to death. You can read so much into those symptons etc. I do hope you feel better when you have seen your GP. And , please, try and stay away from Google. Take care, Julie xx

Hey Holly.

Don't beat yourself up about googling. We all do it now and again. So don't stress about it.

You are doing the right thing speaking to your GP all thought didn't you say you were going to CBT? Try speaking with your therapist about it and seeing if you can come up with a plan...like try to maybe only google once a day for a few weeks then every second day and so on..keep a diary and you can see how well you are doing xxx

It's okay Holly. I feel pretty anxious today, for no particular reason, and could easily go into a Googling session.

I'm going to try and not do it, but it's hard as we with health anxiety seek reassurance and hope Google will provide it. We all know it doesn't but still we Google away!

I have even started thinking about my funeral

Hello

When you all want information on your complaints, you need a reliable site try NHS CHOICES it is easy too use and covers everything to do from health medicines, hospitals, doctors etc

It is written easy and it has flow diagrams on symptoms of complaints

I would agree - confine your internet searches to a couple of reputable sites like NHS Choices and Boots WebMD. If you feel you have a problem, mental or physical, arrange to see your GP.

My funeral was planned and paid for long ago! Mum and I did ours after Dad died.
