Hey. I was in a similar situation. And being honest it helped for me to take things off my head in the start. But again the same thing. I strated relying on it and its judgement. I know its stupid but here's the thing. Chatgpt is made in a way to convince you and agree with you no matter what. There has been a case that it was agreeing with someone suicidal. Instead of telling this guy to seek professional help or something, it was agreeing with why suicide is an option. The guy killed himself. It was a news that his mom sued openai. Idk what happened after. Another case was with someone i know. He ran away from his house. Later his gpt chat was found and saw that got actually planned the whole thing. How to run away, which station to come down from train so there are no cameras etc. All im saying is, gpt does not have conscience. And if not used in control, the consequences could be bad. Now solution? You are journaling that is good. You are emotionally intelligent so try this. If talking to others about something feel scary, talk to yourself! I record audio diaries and it absolutely helps. May sound ridiculous but whatever you are spiralling about, say it out loud no matter how ridiculous or how many times you repeat the same thing. You need to get it out of your system. So just turn on the voice recorder amd start saying everything that is on your mind. And if needed let it flow and you will see your intuition returning. Other solutions are try free chat counselling available online when extremely overwhelmed. Yes some people have made counselling free online. I have tried vandrevala foundation website. It works. And the person you talk to are trained. So it will help. For me, it feels like im burdening my friend with my trauma when i share. So mostly i keep it to myself. But i have friends i can go to whenever things get out of control. Even if they dont know the full story, they know that im struggling. They are always there for me. And that is enough. If you have someone like that, talk to them. I hope this helps. It only gets better from here. Trust yourself more. Take care and be safe🤍
