Thanks for doing the right thing. If you're struggling (I do, and have as well) definitely seek real professional help. I know it can be a real struggle in the UK especially to find a therapist, but the NHS tries their best and you can get started on that here: https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/mental-health/find-an-nhs-.... If you can't find someone through there BetterHelp provides online therapy to the UK https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/counseling/online-counseli....

Try not to put your mental health in the hands of a language model, you deserve real help.

It can be hard to find a therapist who you gel with. I've been through a few in my time. The real work is done by oneself ultimately. Be it with CBT homework or mindfulness between sessions. Obviously it's very individualised though.

Robert Burns (of CBT fame) is currently involved in an app which incorporates AI so I'm interested to see how they've dealt with the sensitive issues.

I'm going to be curious to see how it plays out with trained and ethically aware psychologists. However, just because they have their PhD or MD or DO doesn't mean they're not charlatans or that they're definitely good people.
