'Googlenoia'

'Googlenoia'(google, Paranoia)- a word in which describes a state overusing google can put you in (i just created this word but it may or may not already exist)

I am one of the many people that whenever i have a cold or feel unwell i make the mistake of googling it. This is a risky action and whilst doing so it's like playing with fire. 

I always end up convincing myself that i have some weird tropical disease that will kill me. I will google something like do i have food poisoning and 5 minutes later will be panicking to my mum that i need to be in quarantine. 

The thing is half time i will look at the symptoms these illnesses have and will be saying to myself well i could have that or maybe i felt something but passed it off as nothing and forgot about it. 

After 10 minutes i will be fully convinced I'm about to die until my mum laughs at my face because of how stupid I'm being or i go to the doctor and they tell me I'm fine. 

I know I'm not the only one who does this though as a family friend of mine thought she had mad cow disease when really she was pregnant.

The moral of the post is i need to stop being so paranoid and to use google less

 Thanks for reading
