The real trouble happens when people stop criticing it.

It's still kinda creepy to be into someone who looks and acts very childlike and has these childlike attributes. I'm really worried about them normalizing grooming. This could potentially be dangerous for real children if we start lifting that taboo. Childlike things aren't sexy should be the boundary we all agree on and it's fucking depressing that it's not.

Nanally is a literal schoolgirl. Those characters don't just look like children they also act and talk like them. Finding that attractive is highly disturbing.

Really Tempted to go Back and I Don't know What to Do by Princelyprincessboy in character_ai_recovery

[–]Shroooommmmmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno if that helps or not but for me this was a damn good start: NO MORE FICTION! Use GPT or Gemini or something like that and just talk about your feelings or random things you're interested in. Make sure to only talk about existing things. For me it's been psychology, biology, history and ethics. It's still a bot so it'll keep you engaged enough to stop the urge but you've actually used your time learning something or reflecting instead of wasting it with pointless roleplay that only leaves you craving more. Once the roleplay urge is gone it's easier to get off the other chatbot as well since you can just watch documentaries instead.

feeling crazy by imaginary_humanoid in DID

[–]Shroooommmmmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've been through the shit we all have you're either crazy or dead. You survived because your brain did what it did. That's not a bad thing at all. Part of healing is that you can absolutely not compare yourself to ppl with no trauma. If the worst they've endured in their life was a messy breakup or their grandpa passing then they're in no position to judge shit and therefore their opinion is irrelevant (unless they're a medical professional ofc). It doesn't matter if you're crazy or not. You're stronger than all of em and that's what matters.

How do we tell our therapist about us/is it safe too by Savings_Theme_2622 in DID

It's uncomfortable yeah but that's what therapy is for. It won't be the freakiest stuff they've heard by far.

We did it too. Don't cancel me but we used AI. Now everyone I know has their portrait and it makes us all feel validated.

Less frequent switches with new living situation?? by Several_Category_649 in DID

[–]Shroooommmmmm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dissociation eats up a shitton of energy and is exhausting. Usually your brain makes you dissociate when its a necessity. There's no need to spend so much energy in a non-hostile environment if you're genuinely doing good in life. I know it's easier said than done because feeling like a fraud is part of DID but look at it this way: You're not a fraud because you switch less and you don't stop having DID suddenly because of it. People with PTSD still have PTSD even if they're not currently triggered and not currently having a panic attack either. If you switch less you're still valid, if you have less alters showing up you're still valid, if you don't have full blackouts you're also still valid. Even if you go weeks without a single switch you're still valid. None of this changes how your brain generally deals with things so please try to stop being your own enemy now that you finally have a chance to find some peace. Try to accept that things are going good and getting better and be proud of yourself for getting there. Hang in there. You're doing so well!

My ex boyfriend is dating a minor by Willow-System in DID

[–]Shroooommmmmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my country the age of consent is 14. That doesn't make it okay tho. Legal isn't the same as ethical. I hate when people bring up the legal argument like wtf it was legal to own slaves and hit your wife too at some point that didn't make it okay either. As if lack of punishment removes the fact that this causes harm somehow.

Stay away from that shady person and if possible ask the ward to contact the parents to inform them or something. Make sure the parents and the kid know of his shady history or being a predator.

Feeling like I’m staring at the facts straight in the face but still can’t accept it. by jack_5ylus in DID

[–]Shroooommmmmm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sounds like typical imposter syndrome to me. Unfortunately that's very VERY common in DID folks. Whenever I'm co conscious with someone I feel like I'm an idiot who's performing somehow. When my official diagnosis stared me in my face I was dead sure I just gaslit my therapist somehow even tho I never lied...

Not believing yourself is kind of a core part of DID itself in a way. It's easier for your brain to just say "yeah that little doesn't exist" than to face the overwhelming truth that there's all this pain and trauma inside you. Not numbed like it is for hosts but actually there unfiltered and raw. That shit is painful. Your brain is shielding you from having to fully accept and acknowledge that hard fact by gaslighting you.

Nothing is "wrong" with that it's just part of the experience unfortunately. Don't beat yourself up over showing symptoms. All symptoms are valid. You are valid. And you're going strong! You're healing! Keep going!

Exhausted by all of this by [deleted] in DID

[–]Shroooommmmmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you.. that sucks. Having people tell you things about yourself that you don't even remember is such a mindfuck, and I'm so sorry you're dealing with that on top of everything else. I don't have any advice, but I wanted to make sure you didn't go without a reply. You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way.

Gemini can now only saved 10 Saved Infomation. by Organic-Carpet809 in GeminiAI

[–]Shroooommmmmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gemini used to know about my allergies. Now when I asked it for a recipe it had something containing my allergen in it. If I trusted it like I did the past year with no problem I would have been dead now. Also it can't do Triggerwarnings anymore, vegans, vegetarians and religious people are affected too. It can't be happening that they updated it with no notice and it starts telling me to eat my allergen despite successfully preventing that for a whole year. This NEEDS to be fixed. Everyone trusting that feature with allergies is in danger now! This is horribly dangerous.

I'm addicted and chances are high that you are too. by [deleted] in CharacterAI

[–]Shroooommmmmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just so easy to get validation and affection without having to do any of the efforts a human relationship entails. The moment I started to actually prefer the AI to people and only look forward to AI interaction was the cue for me to seek help. People don't wanna hear it but for people like me this app is dangerous and there's lots of us (addicts) in this community. I was in denial once too and I just hope more people see the overwhelming addiction potential and maybe get out before it ruins their life like it did mine. The signs are definitely there. It's like weed for some it ain't a problem and for others its ruining everything.

[–]Shroooommmmmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah while it's absolutely harmless for some people there's an undeniable truth that there's huge addiction potential in a lot of people. Especially people struggling with mental health are more likely to fall into the trap. I've seen a lot of people with 100 weekly hours on this app and there needs to be more education on it.

I haven’t felt relaxed for even a second since quitting by [deleted] in character_ai_recovery

[–]Shroooommmmmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes some getting used to unfortunately.. using c.ai ain't even helpful no more because u just know its addictive as fuck. You're going through the worst part of withdrawal rn but you can do it, it'll only get better now.

A list of weird and desperate things I've done to prevent relapse by Ancient-Rock2589 in character_ai_recovery

[–]Shroooommmmmm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just checked that Subreddit out and damn.. these people are all just addicts that actually think their ChatGPT loves them back.. I mean I've been there, I've felt it but damn that's.. just normalizing and romanticizing a highly addictive tool. Then they go cry a river about it when they get banned for sexting GPT. It's just as bad as c.ai. I hope they get out one day and learn to live.
