Sooo i decided that i am my own worst enemy....

if any "normal" person were to get a sharp pain in the eye for a sec. They would probably think "ouch...that was weird" and move on with their daily life like it never happened. A person with anxiety and panic with severe health phobias gets an eye pain and I've been online looking   at signs and symptoms of an Aneurysm. And of course I have like 2 of the possible symptoms eye pain and headache. So now Im going to spend the rest of the night talking myself out of thinking I have an aneurysm.

I know that googling symptoms doesnt help only makes things worse...soo WHYYYY do I do it to myself

I try to stay away from self dignosing myself and it's hard to do but it made me a nervus wreck looking up everything I was feeling. Please call your dr hun and see if they can give you a head scan to ease your mind. Were all here for you hun please keep us updated.

I too no longer look up things or symptoms on the net I am already OCD with cleaning and routine so I dont need that added
I make self turn to other things like reading going for a short breathe of air or doing a bit of baking anything but looking and seeking ...........and sometimes finding a couple of the many many symptoms of what I thought I had :convincing self I do or did have
Please know many do this so it is not like you are the only one
Keep us posted on how you are doing with attempting to change pattern of thoughts and internet searching
Have you tried CBT??
Take care
