PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Other People's Outcomes Affect My Confidence

This page summarizes a community-reported personal experience. It is not medical evidence or professional advice.

A community member observed that their motivation was influenced by others’ reported outcomes — too many non-recovery stories, and their own confidence dropped. This social dimension of motivation appears in several community discussions. It is an observation about morale, not a research finding.
