Scenario

When friends with eating disorders receive triggering lab results together

My closest friend and I both struggle with eating disorders and decided to get comprehensive metabolic panels to check our health, but now that we have the results showing some concerning markers, we're triggered back into obsessing over numbers and comparing our results to each other. We thought getting tested together would be supportive but instead it's become competitive and destructive in ways we didn't anticipate.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared medical monitoring intended as mutual support transforms into competitive self-harm.
