PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Losing Momentum After a Relapse

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

A community member described the feeling that after a relapse, the accumulated momentum is gone and restarting feels weaker. This perceived loss of momentum after a long streak is a recurring theme and connects to the documented pattern of streak-break discouragement.
