Dr. Tabatha Barber explains why two people with identical lab results can feel completely different. Comparing yourself to others, especially on social media, is the quickest way to spiral into misery and hits women particularly hard.
That's super good. And sometimes what you can handle as a patient and what I can handle as a patient are two different things. So your labs might be the same as mine, but maybe I'm feeling optimal and you're feeling like crap. So every person is so different. Exactly.
You— comparison kills. That is the quickest way, especially for women. If you want to spiral down and be miserable, start comparing yourself to everybody. That is why social media can be so toxic and dangerous, because you start Caring yourself.
