I got a blood test yesterday because for the last four years or so I have had this condition where I get frequent boils on my inner thighs. So the dr wanted to take a blood test for diabetes and thyroid issues I wasn't even stressed about it.
Until last night....
I started googling what do they test for in a full blood exam and one of the things they can test for is blood cancer!!! Now I started googling things 😱 I'm 21 year old female a bit over weight and have boil problems but otherwise healthy. But now I'm terrified!!!!! I can't calm down. I feel so sad.
People get blood tests everyday!! I know that.
But I'm so so scared I mean,I don't even have the symptoms but when I google things I start imagining that I do. I have been health anxious for years now and often have this type of meltdown but it's so hard.

Seek and you shall find.

Google is bad for you health far more than anything else.

Instead of meds, they should invent an implant that can block URLS from being accessed within close proximity to an internet device. That way, it wouldn't bother the person across from you and you'd have no access to Dr. Google and other websites related to your fear. The device could be programmed when you move on from blood cancers to rabies to some other rare disease.
