I can’t stop obsessing over my illness, I’m tired of googling every symptoms I have and every thought. I google my medication for side effects and drug interactions, I’m obsessed with the hole mental illness thing. Am I alone in all of this, or do anyone else do the same thing?

I turned my SZ obsession into a blog that I am not quite ready to post.
Waiting a few weeks for a satisfactory amount of symptom reduction from the Daily Essential Nutrients I’m taking before posting (with the admin’s permission.)

It’s a good thing to do to educate yourself (and others) about schizophrenia but do it by the old rule,
“Everything in moderation.”

I was obsessed after first getting diagnosed but pretty soon it became just another facet of my mundane existence.

I have ocd over door locks. Got to learn. I hope you get better.

I think doing this for a few months after you first get diagnosed is normal. If you’re still doing it compulsively for several years after that I guess it could become troublesome.
I notice some people tend to overanalyze their delusions, but I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about. You’re just talking about researching the disease and related medicines.

I did that when they kept changing my diagnosis. I felt like j had to figure it out. Then j was diagnosed with sza and felt relief.
