This is both upsetting and sad.
What’s sad is that I spend about $200/month on professional therapy, which is on the low end. Not everyone has those resources. So I understand where they’re coming from.
What’s upsetting is that this user TRUSTED ChatGPT to follow through on the advice without critically challenging it.
Even more upsetting is this user admitted to their mistake. I guarantee you that there are thousands like OP who wasn’t brave enough to admit it, and are probably to this day, still using ChatGPT as a support system.

It could work great as a rubber duck as long as one doesn’t take it too far or too literally.
