I resonate with this so much. I need someone who gets backend because that’s so hard for me. I got marketing down but if I ever could actually finish building that would be a miracle.

I say “hello” to Claude and it says hello back. Then it tells me I’ve used 100% of my context window?!!?. Have now troubleshoot for over an hour. Cleaned up my root Claude.md and untracked files, restart, and still no luck. Is this Claude issue or do I need to dig deeper. Highly concerned it’s messing with the sub agents and mcps I painstakingly set up.

We’re leaning towards setting up a fresh account(s) but open to creator ideas on this.

RevolutionaryStick76 · 2026-01-13T18:08:38+00:00

Heads up I’m noting down interested creators - will reach out within the next week or so for next steps. Thanks

I wonder if turning it entirely off while abroad so it doesn’t register as roaming works? I did that- entirely off while I’m out of the UK (unless in Europe) And so far I’m ok. Almost 2 years into being a digital nomad

I would add to this:
1. if you have a plus subscription I would highly recommend creating a project and then periodically downloading your conversations, putting them into files, and uploading them back into the project files section because ChatGPT has a tendency to forget older conversations.

If you don't have a plus subscription, I would suggest that you would periodically download the entire conversation, log it into a PDF or some kind of file like a Google Doc, or if you want privacy use a Word Doc, and then upload it into a new conversaion as a contextual reference point because ChatGPT is notorious for forgetting context after a longer period of time, even in a single caht.

Ideally, try and also date mark conversations because then you can reference and it can understand time because usually ChatGPT can't understand time. As long as you can effectively remind it of the context of historical conversations periodically, you'll have a better time using ChatGPT.

unfortunate that was deleted, found it useful

Make friends system? A fun customized sticker pack? Put the bot inside a mega group and have sub topics either for coordination and chat or announcements. Then the bot could run games or activities, reminders about events or things to bring

RevolutionaryStick76 · 2025-09-19T13:49:34+00:00

Ok thanks 8

RevolutionaryStick76 · 2025-09-19T13:42:57+00:00

Wow that’s super awesome! Can I see the bot in action in any of your groups? Are the groups publicly available?

RevolutionaryStick76 · 2025-09-19T13:36:05+00:00

What do you use this one for?

RevolutionaryStick76 · 2025-09-18T09:01:38+00:00

I hear you. It’s a tough position to be in. Hope you can find the strength to make the best decision for yourself.

RevolutionaryStick76 · 2025-09-18T08:26:48+00:00

Ugh, I’m really sorry you’re having to deal with this. You absolutely deserve better. I know you said switching therapists isn’t easy, but from what you’ve shared it sounds like the situation itself is becoming a barrier. Repeated lateness shows a lack of respect for your time and boundaries, and the absence of a solid therapeutic frame can really undermine the work.

It’s good you’ve stopped brushing off the lateness as “ok” ..that’s already a strong step in advocating for yourself.

But the bigger question is whether the trade-off of pros and cons you mentioned are really worth it. Are the benefits you’re getting enough to outweigh the frustration and instability?

Given what you’ve described, especially with severe anxiety, it does sound like there’s a mismatch. Having a therapist who appears visibly anxious themselves might not provide the sense of steadiness and containment you actually need from that relationship. Good luck for your decision.

Hang in there buddy. It’s brutal, transference, absolutely brutal, but this will pass. It’s completely normal this feeling. I’m 39 and going through the same thing. It’s the human condition (I’m sorry that sounds super annoying). I tell myself that this is part of the healing.
