Does anyone else find it incredibly difficult to believe what your GP/Doctor tells you? I find that I always seem to think they've missed something or they have misdiagnosed something. I often believe Google more than a GP. I've seen 2 GPs recently, both very experienced but somehow don't believe them, they believe my physical anxiety symptoms are anxiety related. I get home and start Googling again after going to the doctors. Can anyone relate?
I can 100% relate to this . I find myself googling for hours at a time , diagnosing myself with many different illness (usually some form of cancer) I’ve had scans, blood test etc , even when they come back clear I still think they’ve missed something . I then Google so much I get symptoms of the illness I think i have . such a horrible cycle, I’m currently not doing to bad at the moment with my anxiety, but sometimes its just awful
I believe a lot of us can relate to this. The only way is to accept what the GP says and your symptoms. Once you stop worrying about “what if”, the better you will start feeling.
yep! I’m exactly the same and I hate it, constantly on Google which is the worst thing to do.. I’ve even had my bloods run multiple times, every time it’s the same answer.. yet I still struggle to believe it! ![]()
Me. I could write a book for the amount of tines ive been to different doctors because i dont believ what one is saying. i always think they definetly have missed something. its horrible feeling and horrible to keep thinking and wondering. ive suffered with health anxiety for years. And ive always been to google to diagnose myself aswell.. I know exactly how u feel X
i have this so so bad!! its destroying my mental health:(
yes definitely. currently going thru this right now. having really bad physical anxiety symptoms and GP says to try techniques to relax to calm the anxiety but seriously feel like something is wrong. Like theyre missing something.
