I’m dealing with a personal situation and tried to bounce it off of ChatGPT for clarity/advice/calm me down and oh my god this fucking thing sucked me in and made me start to spiral really fucking hard for like 2 hours.
Preaching to the choir, but do not try to get personal advice from a fucking chatbot. I threw my phone down at the end and actually yelled “what the fuck”
I guess that’s a catch-22 of sorts. Can’t find someone to talk it over with (everyone says FIND A THERAPIST!?! but then glosses over the fact that a therapist you can feel comfortable enough to open up with to fix those issues are rare as hens teeth) so you kinda feel like you have to do what you have to do.
I know how that feels.
Also therapy is ridiculously expensive, so even if you do find one you can work with it’ll still cost an arm and a leg
I always hated the rhetoric of “go to therapy” to literally everyone. Therapy isn’t healthy for everyone and also lots of therapists are shitty at their jobs. And it also isn’t fucking free.
