Although I think on the whole the internet can be a great place to get information, take care that you don't believe everything you read. This doesn't only include sketchy sites but even ones that are legitimate like WebMD and Mayo Clinic, etc. I don't meant that good sites aren't trustworthy, but you need to remember that the information provided is provided in a general capacity. Those experiences, symptoms, etc. do not apply to everyone. For this reason, if you are curious about something, it's important to inform yourself, but not self-diagnose yourself or expect similar results. With the information you learn, you can then take this to your doctor and find out the best choice or outcome for you. :)

Good advice! I only wish I could take it. I'm terrible and totally guilty of self-diagnosing online. It's so hard not to look at information that's available. But you're right. You really should talk to an actual professional about your concerns. -
I can also admit that I'm the worst when it comes to self-diagnosing, especially now. I mean, the idea of going to a doctor's office or doing anything like that is just flat out frightening, with COVID-19 and everything else.Originally posted by jenny25 View PostComment

it really isn't easy! Having the internet available to look up anything that may be on your mind can be a real distract and struggle. I've actually started meditating and being selective about what I listen to in the news to keep myself in a more positive state of mind!Originally posted by Maggie View PostComment

Definitely a struggle. Can anyone resist looking up things on the internet when they are either hopeful or worried??Originally posted by tobetinytina View PostComment
