Everybody's a Critic and Everybody's a Medical Specialist


Self diagnosis is bad enough-when you find yourself becoming a hypochondriac over every new oddity you find out about your body you can drive yourself crazy. Dude, sometimes a lot of mucus is just a lot of mucus, a skin tag is a skin tag, and a pain in your side just means you slept funny.  But the one thing worse then self diagnosis are “friendly diagnosis’”

Example 1:
THEM: “I don’t know, are they sure you have episodic ataxia, I was watching Mystery Diagnosis and a guy on there had your exact same symptoms!”

Example 2:
THEM: “Have you tried Esenssial Oils? I think the reason why you are so sick is because of all that medication you are on, you need to choose a healthier alternative, try it you’ll see a world of difference.”

The thing that drives me the craziest is when you become psychoanalyzed. If you’re tired cus you didn't sleep the night before and you are in pain, people think you’re depressed.

I understand these people all are sweet and most of the times have the best intentions at heart and for that, thank you, I really appreciate it. But unless you are a doctor that has access to all my medical records, let’s keep the conversation to the fun stuff shall we?
