IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, I won’t be responding to Instagram messages anymore. I hope you guys understand. It’s not an easy thing for me to have to say. Back when I first started my channel I had very little subscribers so this was something I could do easily but now as my channel has grown and that I’m a mother to two very young children, it’s impossible for me to respond to everyone. I currently have 92 unread messages in my inbox and that’s only from last week. I’ve also been getting a lot of rude and hurtful messages of people saying that I’m fake because I’m not responding or sending me message after message demanding for my attention. It’s been getting me so down and people have said some horrible things. I know how it feels when you’re desperate. Truly, I do. I’ve been there and it’s sucks. But please remember I am just one person. A lot of people are also asking me for medical advice but please remember I am not a doctor. I’m just like you. If you want to get in touch, I offer health anxiety talking sessions which you can book here - cherellethinks.setmore.com I also have a health anxiety support page on Facebook that I interact with a lot. Just type in ‘Health Anxiety Community’ and you should find it. Lastly, I also do regular Q&A’s on my Instagram too where I can answer any questions people may have. I hope you understand and it’s never my intention to upset anyone. There just isn’t enough hours in the day. Thanks so much. X

I have this bad habit of reading other people's experiences and symptom lately, always good to remember that me, a non smoking, non drinking 22 year old woman is NOT a 66 year old man who used to smoke previously. Wish I could get that into my head!

I’m watching this panicking after googling my symptoms again Definitely helped me!

I have to say that I was freaking out when I was awakened by my leg muscle twitching at 230 am. They were strong. They lasted 8 hours and I prayed and they literally stopped after prayer. I googled my symptoms and ALS or MS could be the culprit. I looked further as to what causes twitches and the culprit without being ALS or MS is stress, which I have been, anxiety, which I also have, lack of sleep, which I also don’t get the best, dehydration, which I don’t drink a lot of water, and finally coffee which I drink a lot of....and I watched your channel. Thanks for reassuring me. You’re awesome. Now I don’t even pay much attention to my twitches. It can be a vicious cycle. God is good all the time.

I don't even need to google anymore. Even if I see one symptom, I worry it's somehow cancer-related. The fact that it's winter and the fact that I have problems with my skin at this time of the year doesn't help. Twitches and heart palpitations don't bother me that much.

Oh, my health anxiety literally skyrocketed last June when I, for whatever reason, googled enlarged lymph nodes! Since then, it's been hell. Heart palpitations (then I had two ECGs and even echo to rule out any obvious problems), difficulty breathing, I started losing weight (hun, your appetite literally disappears after major panic attacks, of course you're gonna lose some weight), I've been in this trap of "is this headache gonna be a brain aneurysm / this lymph node under my armpit is definitely killing me / why do I keep getting bruises on my legs out of nowhere? / why my heart keeps beating strangely, am I gonna drop dead any minute? / what are these weird marks on my skin and I don't remember these moles / what is these slight shooting pains in my lower right abdomen" for months now. Jeez, if I went to doctors any time I sense something "weird" or "scary" or "unusual", I'd be left with empty pockets. I'm still trying to figure out how to trust myself and my body. I haven't googled anything since last summer, so at least it's a small win

This is such a beautiful comment. Wishing you well .

Really is a never-ending battle between what we know intellectually and what we feel emotionally. The most ancient part of our brain that is intended to Keep Us Alive seems to always have an initial edge until we can allow our rational mind to kick in through relaxation techniques and if necessary reassurance. Google tells you everything and nothing all at the same time.

Thank you so much. I always come to your channel when my health anxiety is bad.

Google sometimes helped but rarely. KZread helps way more but also some videos really dont. Hearing people talk about their own experiences and symptoms is probably the best, to reassure you.

I suffered from a severe autoimmune reaction that was triggered by my anxiety. Googling was helpful in some ways to help me find alternative approaches to healing, but it’s far too easy to go down the rabbit hole spending HOURS reading online about what may or may not wrong with my body. And it can make one feel hopeless, like they’re never going to get better.

This is pure gold. Thankyou cherelle. I have been suffering from this too. You give me hope. Thankyou. Pls keep making these videos.

Thanks you are a life saver i have been disturbed because of this stuff for a long time now I am feeling a lot better thanks to you ♥️

This was so helpful - health anxiety is something I got over a while ago but seemed to creep back in during this time of corona. Thank you for the tips they were great :)

Thank you so much for your help. I have been losing so much sleep lately over so many worries.

My anxiety went really bad when I googled symptoms. It freaked me out. Even talking to the doctors can make me panic. He said my liver enzymes were slightly raised. So obviously I freaked out and started getting pains in that area, but then I was told this can happen a lot. And the doctor was trying to scare me.

Never ever use Google ,that shit on Google will trigger your anxiety big time.

google is the problem for me, as one symptom could be 5 different types of cancer or something less serious

Hi keep having a morning rash on my throat after getting out of bed. After 20 mins the rash goes. I googled it and my anxiety was high and still is. Doctor google says, I have a disease etc. Google and youtube that's run by google is so scary. Apart from a cold I'm just getting over. I'm not getting any other symptoms. So, hopefull nothing to worry about.

i have abdominal pain in either my left and right side and its freaking the heck out of me [its not painful]. I have my period today and I cant stop convincing myself that I have a kidney disease or a apperadicitis, I keep searching symptoms for about 2-3 hours. I don't want to go to the doctor because that will increase my anxiety and I cant focus on anything if I go to the doctor.
