When your Facebook is full of ads for cancer one day, Uti the next, with a healthy mixture of Lady Gaga pages thrown in for good measure.

Anyone else?

I really try not to Google medical stuff. If I do, though, I go into incognito mode on my browser so that I can avoid that very thing - my medical anxieties being spoonfed to me.

......You know indepth terminology for illnesses (and use it with ease) that makes your doctor, or people on this forum, look puzzled.

I do this too. I try to remember to close out of the page if I do it on my phone because I don't like opening the page by accident once I'm feeling better then being reminded of whatever it was I was worried about. I try to only stick to the NHS website too if they have a page on what I'm looking for.

I do something similar as well. I look for sources from other countries (usually Australia) because American sites are overly sensationalized, I think.

I didn't know you could do that on Incognito. But I am the same, as soon as I get something, I am reaching for the Google Chrome and searching.

You start to worry the police are going to show up LOL (working on writing true crime and disaster books and I have googled so much about unsolved cases, murder, serial killers, mass shootings, fires, bombings, floods....
