muffin 315 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 That's probably going to happen for me if I go down with a fever and see if I have Ebola or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haus of Tzu:Lai 5,450 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I suggest going to the doctor if you're worried about your health. I personally would avoid reading up on these things as it will often worry you more and there is no point in self-diagnosing, unless you're a doctor lol.

KrazyAjumma 1,925 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Cyberchondria. It's like hypochondria but worse because you can check symptoms on hundreds of different sites. There are times that I spent hours pouring over medical pages looking for diseases that I had symptoms for. If you get to that point, or where you feel like it is interrupting your normal life then please get help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Bae 3,001 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I do, and I actually was right about it. In 4th grade, I was searching up PDD-NOS (mild form of autism basically) because ever since preschool, I've had to visit therapists outside of my classroom in school and miss a class or two every week. I asked my mom about it and saw my progress report and apparently, I do have it. It's the reason why I was on speech and social skill therapy from Preschool-7th grade. I'm in 8th grade now, and I've been discharged from all special services since Spring of 2014. If you're scared about symptoms though, I really suggest visiting a doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToBeABitchPatrol 1,503 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Lol I remember when I thought I had diabetes because I had almost every symptom of it. (feel of dehydration, fatigue, etc) I got was so scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
changetheworld 16 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't, but my sister does. She's always worrying about what illnesses she could have and is always anxious. She also once 'diagnosed' her friend with kidney failure and her friends mum had to leave work early to take her to the doctors (she didn't actually have kidney failure). It's really frustrating for my parents and I because we never know when she is actually sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unit 530 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have before. I diagnosed myself with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) dumbest thing I did because that just made it seem more real even though I never had it. Zzzzz. Lesson learnt: Don't self diagnose, let the professionals do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight 1,108 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Well, I read the symptoms of autism, thought that a good amount of them related to me a little too well to be coincidence and so it was probably what I have, and then I was later diagnosed with autism.

Ulmicola 1,981 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 No, but I once randomly came across the symptoms of Avoidant Personality Disorder, and it's frightening how much its symptoms match my personality. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
