Anyone else?

Anyone else so chronically online it always has you diagnosing yourself or your baby? I’m been up since 6am examining my baby because a video about lukemia came across my TikTok feed and somehow I’ve convinced myself my baby has all the symptoms or if even myself, when something happens. I’m so terrified when videos of toddlers come across my feed and I try my best not to feed into it. SIDS, Cancer, etc. please tell me I’m not the only one who does this and I’m not crazy. Like I’m sitting here scared shitless because my 1.5 year old has baggy eyes and a little cough and somehow I’m just idk… this is embarrassing to admit

It happens, I have been online searching about autism. All the videos in my timeline are autistic ones. I am getting my husband angry because I keep telling him to watch our baby, did he notice anything. He will just be like let kids be kids.

It happens to the best of us but try not to fall into that rabbit hole. Fix your algorithm, girl! Intentionally search for cute, funny, and positive things and mark those other ones as videos you do not want to see. If your little's eyes was something to be concerned about his or her doctor would have mentioned it. Hang in there, mama 💛

I don't use TikTok for this exact reason. It feeds into insecurities and kinda warps the mind. You think things that you never would have thought of. And the change of them happening is so miniscule. If you feel like you are becoming obsessed about health to the point where you are on your phone researching and reading instead of being present and able to do daily tasks, then you may need medication/therapy. That's not a bad thing, so please don't think I am saying it is. I don't know much about hypochondria, or 'mom anxiety' or whatever could be wrong. My obsessive tendencies were of other things. But it definitely impacted my life negatively, and once I got help, things got a lot better.
