Well, I for myself need constant psychological support, more than therapists can afford to give me in my darkest moments. When panic attacks and dissociation hit at 3 AM, my thoughts spiral out of control. I don't use ChatGPT as a fake human friend; I specifically prompt it to be an objective, grounding cognitive anchor. When my mind tells me delusions or tells me that nothing matters, I paste my thoughts in and ask it to analyze the cognitive distortions. It methodically dissects the black-and-white thinking and catastrophizing. Reading that calm, structured breakdown brings my prefrontal cortex back online. It has kept me safe and grounded enough to make it to my next human therapy appointment multiple times.
