I feel like I haven’t been able to breathe for the last two weeks. I’m scared to go to sleep because my own dreams frighten me. I’ve been talking to Chat GPT because I don’t want to worry my own friends/family. I feel so worthless.

I know it can be very hard to talk to family and friends, but the best people to talk to when you are going through a difficult period is your family/friends. Talking to AI does a lot more harm than good, and does not give very good advice.

I really hope you can get in with a therapist soon so you have that constructive outlet. Please do not turn to AI for this— it won’t help and has caused a lot of issues and harm to others in similar circumstances. You deserve better than that!

I also struggle opening up to my family because I know they wouldn’t understand me, would downplay/reject my anxiety. But I was able to find some peace just telling my mom I was struggling and not explaining why. Her staying with me while offering general comforts was better than nothing

I know you’re right, but it’s harder than it seems. And I hate AI and hate myself for feeling like I need to use it. But it’s nice to be able to vent all of my darkest thoughts to a computer that I know can’t have the capability to care.

I understand. I also struggle a lot with opening up to my family and friends about a lot of my anxieties. Maybe journaling could help! Also, I do not mean to seem like I am lecturing you, I just hope you feel better soon :)

If they’re reasonable people you can set the boundary to not talk about it but still let them know you want support
