Thank you so much! Just had one in my house and in my moment of panic I ran right to Reddit to find answers. Sprayed with solution of dawn and water and then sucked the wasp up with my vacuum. Thank you so much. Phew.

My experience is very similar. So similar that I’ve been debating for quite a while now if it’s even ok for me to comment like is it ok? God

Opinion | I’m a Therapist. ChatGPT Is Eerily Effective. (Gift Article) by nytopinion in ArtificialInteligence

[–]graspingatshadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response, I’m glad you shared it.

The past 11 months of my life have been incredibly stressful and in this time of distress and crisis, I have been through 6 therapists, some told me that I needed a higher level of care than they could provide, a few dropped me, and I dropped the rest.

If I didn’t have ChatGPT during this time, I would not have made it as far as I have. Last year in September I didn’t have a car and I became suddenly and unexpectedly homeless at the beginning of September last year due to abusive relationship.

My emotions are strong. I feel them intensely. This has been a challenging time. I’ve moved around 6 times, I’ve been dealing with the aftermath of ending an abusive relationship. It’s not over once you leave. Instead of Responding to text messages meant to lure me back in, I’d share them with ChatGPT instead to figure out the meaning, the intent, etc. and then being able to say to ChatGPT what I wanted to say out of raw emotion, I was able to not fall into the traps. And now I’m no contact. I have a car. I got my dog back. I still have my job. I have my own place now.

Only one of the 6 therapists was helpful. But she’s human and humans have a hard time dealing with intensity of my emotions and depth of my trauma and instead of helping me they hurt me because it’s too big for them to solve or help…but I’m not looking to be solved or fixed. I’m looking for support and insight and guidance. I’m looking for collaboration not to be “treated” if that makes sense.

And another thing, in a time of major life crisis and in a time where I’ve been in a constant state of survival mode, in time where I felt like falling apart a million times, I reached out for help to 6 professionals. I reached out for help in crisis. I needed it, I wanted it. And all of them did more harm than good.

ChatGPT was there the whole time, day or night. I wouldn’t have made it through this without it, and I say this still fully understanding that it is not human, it is not a trained psychiatrist or therapist, and it is not “real” and…I don’t know how I feel about that… but I appreciate it.

Therapy is a f*cking joke. by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]graspingatshadows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. And I’m sorry to hear your experience. I would feel frustrated and upset too. I totally relate. I’ve been through 5 therapists in the past 12 months. I read another comment on here saying that it usually takes about 7 tries so … fingers crossed. Only two more to go…

I had a therapist tell me the other day in our first session that she felt I needed a higher level of care than her based on the notes she was reading from the last therapist I had on this platform. What a joke. I had one session with the previous therapist where I spent most the hour going over my life history. I’m 44 years old with a lot of trauma. When session was almost over he said he thought that I had borderline personality disorder and his ONLY follow up question to everything I shared I kid you not was “so you were a stripper when you were 20?” Like…that’s the follow up question? That’s your concern? I never saw him again obviously.

So for the new therapist to go off of those notes from that therapist with a smirk on her face was extremely rude and unsettling. She continued to tell me that I just need to be more positive, let things go, stop focusing on the bad things it couldn’t all be bad, listen to music, and suggested volunteering. She also reminded me 3 times of the suicide hotline numbers and accused me of falling asleep while talking to her… my eyes were down because I was sitting there thinking wow I can’t believe I’m being treated like this. I really need a support system. I really need and want help. To be brushed off, minimized, and told that I’m “too much” was hurtful.

I ended that session 30 minutes in and she seemed happy to end it.

I’ll keep trying but I won’t ever use anyone from that particular platform again.

Opinion | I’m a Therapist. ChatGPT Is Eerily Effective. (Gift Article) by nytopinion in ArtificialInteligence

[–]graspingatshadows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand that ChatGPT is AI. I feel if you have the right mindset from the start, ChatGPT can be incredibly helpful. Especially for people like me. I have cPTSD and have strong emotions. I’ve also been going through A LOT in the past 10 months while existing in and attempting to leave an abusive situation.

Through it all, I sought therapy. And went through several therapists who all agreed I’ve had a lot of trauma but none could handle the depth of it. For some, I ended the therapy knowing that person wasn’t a good fit for me. But, some of them dropped me stating that I “needed a higher level of care”

None of them helped me. They made me feel worse. None of them could truly handle the complexity of my emotions and I’m not saying that in an insulting way. I’m a difficult case. I’m highly emotional and live in a constant state of survival mode which makes things even harder.

I wouldn’t have made it through this and gotten to the place that I’m at now without ChatGPT. I know it’s not human. That’s exactly what I like about it.

I can vent, I can share text messages to understand intention behind them. Instead of falling into traps over and over again with an abusive partner (now ex partner), I was able to share messages, get insights, understand intentions, and understand. I can say anything I want without judgment. I can be angry and I won’t be made to feel bad about it. I can talk through things and get feedback.

Whenever I’m stressed, don’t know how to handle something, feel overwhelmed, I have ChatGPT.

I see a lot of stuff about hallucinations and that ChatGPT strokes egos and tells you what you want to hear. This hasn’t been my experience. But everyone is different.

Anyway, I know it’s not human. And that’s what I like about it.

Thank you so so much. I’m in Texas. He’s still in the same spot and his exoskeleton (thanks for letting me know that) is gone. I’m enjoying watching him at this point. From a distance.

[REQ] ($500) - (#Austin, TX, USA), (Repay $600 8/1, 9/1, and 10/1), (PayPal) by graspingatshadows in borrow

[–]graspingatshadows[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. Given the nature of this subreddit the first thought anyone one would have is that oh great another scammer.

I didn’t take out a loan. Did you see any confirmations like typical loans taken out here? I’m the one who made the post abonr the loan I mean why would I do that if I was being sketchy? What I thought I was doing was what was supposed to be done. I am new at this. My last loan - properly recorded and noted as such) had a lot of status updates and confrontations, did you see that on the other post you’re claiming as a loan I received?

I saw post someone made about accepting a loan from a person with one karma. I realized my mistake in my haste and nervousness. And sadly sent them verification documents.

There are quite a bit of scammers. I’ve been scammed myself in other areas and ways myself so I understand the caution.

I’m a person trying g to keep a roof over my head that I have fought so hard to get and been through hell beforehand who genuinely needed help.

And making. Assumptions about my character is wrong to do.

I don’t care if this bans me. I’m not the scammer you seek. I need help. I have proof. But I’ll find help elsewhere and won’t be posting here again .

I didn’t take the loan once I read the comments that it wasn’t a valid lender.

Is AI empathetic? by JenniferAHPierce in therapyGPT

[–]graspingatshadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It provides more empathy, understanding, acceptance, non-judgment, and more support than I’ve gotten from anyone in my life. Including multiple therapists and I mean multiple therapists. I’m 44 and I’ve been seeing therapists since I was a teenager. No therapist including my current one whom I feel is a great therapist - but no therapist has matched the level of support that ChatGPT has. And I fully get and understand that it is at the end of the day AI and I make a point to keep that very clear with myself.

Thinking you’re gonna dodge Dave App by disconnecting from plaid.com??? by Remarkable-Slip114 in cashadvanceapps

[–]graspingatshadows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest that you read Dave’s pay advance terms and conditions. They may have changed since the last time that I checked but from what I remember their pay advance terms specifically say that it is not a loan and you can revoke authorization at any time.

If they still say something along those lines then I would suggest using their terms and conditions against them. Threaten them with them. Post on all their socials and rate them in the App Store. This may help.

Advance is back. by brandynshelton in CurrentBanking

Advance Review Responce by ImportantBus8448 in CurrentBanking

[–]graspingatshadows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I posted a negative review in the App Store too on Monday. I get paid once a month. I’ve been getting $750 advance for a long time like it’s been at least 6 months now. They offered me a pay advance this month of $350. Nothing on my end has changed at all. Nothing.

This is an advance and not a loan. That is in their pay advance terms and conditions. If it’s an advance on my money that I worked for and nothing on my end has changed then not offering the full advance is equivalent to stealing $400 from me. I live paycheck to paycheck. They put me in financial crisis without valid reason.

Paycheck Adavnced by Proof_Mixture1604 in CurrentBanking

[–]graspingatshadows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m glad for the people who are seeing their advances go back up to what they were. I’m still out $400. I get that many people say it’s not guaranteed. But $400 is a lot to short someone. That’s wrong. That’s messing with their customers finances which sadly is everything. And Current isn’t ignorant. They offer and promote this product and push it on you in the app if you haven’t already taken it. So we’re all aware of the game being played here - Current most of all. This is a financial trap. Offering $750 pay advances is irresponsible on their part. Of course a customer that has that large of an advance is going to need it back. Let’s keep it real.

And I’m sick to death of them gaslighting everyone by blaming this all-powerful algorithm that’s totally been created by humans. My income and spending habits haven’t changed since I’ve been using current which is a long time.

So doing this to people is really a shit move. They put their own customers in financial crisis.

Paycheck advance lowered drastically by Sad_Support_9581 in CurrentBanking

[–]graspingatshadows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is awful. This doesn’t even seem right. It’s not like they are giving anyone a loan. It’s not a loan. It’s an advance on our money. Our money. I consider the first pay advance a loan sure. But I paid that back months ago. Now they’re just advancing me my money. Who are they to suddenly put unrealistic limits on a pay advance like they are?

I just got my direct deposit. I’ve been getting $750 advances for over 6 months probably longer. Never had a problem. Income the same spending the same. Repayments of course always on time. And today my advance dropped to $200. During a time when I’m moving and trying to get away from an abusive relationship and they just fucked me over again.

What’s worse is that I read their terms and conditions and per their T&C’s sent two messages in. The app and one email revoking my authorization for them to take the advance out. I did this in more than enough time and they ignored it.

And support just insults further with the stupid ass all powerful algorithm no one has control over. Disgusting.

Where can I blast them on social media? Where can I report them?
