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.

LLMs are our attempts to teach computers how to speak, like how we would a baby.
They can string together sentences, but the cognitive ability just isn't there yet.
You wouldn't have a baby as your therapist either. But you can use it as creative input to inspire new ideas for yourself.
We'd be better off talking about AI if no one used words like intelligence, cognition, think, understand, know, learn, etc. They don't do any of those things.
