As far as the research, I think that is something that you have to decide on your own opinion. On one hand, looking up symptoms might cause you to find extra things that you might not have been bothered by before, so you sort of nitpick at all your little flaws. On the other hand, if you are having trouble putting what you feel into words, it could definitely help.
I however, could not have gotten through any of my initial therapy appointments without a list of things that were troubling for me. That way you don't have to worry about missing something or your mind going blank. So I'd suggest that whether you do research or not.
I don't think you're being stupid at all, by the by.
