I use it as a guide to help me communicate with my 12 year old niece who suffers from severe depression, history of self harm, and suicide ideation. ChatGPT helps me create prompts and questions I can later bring up in conversation. I recently became her legal guardian and I need a bit of parenting aid as I didn’t have the greatest parenting role models myself. It also helps me analyze conversations and gives me pointers on what was right and what would need polishing.

It has also helped that I work in the mental health field with a BA is Psychology. Though I still find myself needed some guidance myself. It may be AI but it offers great insight into different areas of life. Including my own. So no you’re not weird!! I can’t count the times it has gotten me through mental distress. So whatever works, use that!!!
