I think we all do that... but you can't think line that because your going to drive yourself crazy. Trust me, you will match many symptoms with almost anything you read.

There’s a name for it but i can’t remember. It’s really common amongst health professionals in college. You begin to identify with the diseases or disorders you’re studying at the time. When in school for psychology they prepped us about it.
