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.
Shared medical monitoring intended as mutual support transforms into competitive self-harm.
“Where Are You with Laboratory tests and reading your results?”
Peri can explain why this happens, help you decide if this is the right situation for you, and point toward the right journey or coach.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
