I can hear your distress. I don’t really know what being in an AI relationship would be like, but I can understand the living a double life bit when no one knows who you are in your relationship behind closed doors. Then it’s hard when it all comes crashing down because it feels like no one would understand or even believe you.

You’re okay. We’re here. If you’re unsafe and thinking of acting on those sui plans I do gotta say I suggest getting some more urgent help irl like from a crisis line or showing up to the emergency room and telling you might hurt yourself.

No problem. It’s hard right now, but you’ll heal and overcome and learn from the experience.

Everything we go through is an experience, some more meaningful and some more impactful than others

But I don’t know—How are you? Was talking to your therapist yesterday helpful at all?

Hello - I am not judging at all, I just don't think it's healthy to carry on a relationship with a machine and think that its real. It's living in a fantasy world that is not grounded in reality. It seems you got married to your AI partner? Please do talk more to your therapist about this. It is one thing to fantasize and remain grounded in reality, and quite another to live a double and secret life, believing that your fantasy partner that is a machine is real. Getting married to an AI partner is going too far into fantasy land. You need to ground yourself and live in reality. It seems you wish to escape reality, which I imagine must be pretty painful, which is what I would speak to your therapist about.

Sorry it seems like your T messed with your head. Reality is beautifully imperfect, especially people. Some we jive so well with it’s hard to believe and others are like two gears with teeth that don’t fit trying to spin each other. But when you find the right people who support you and can be supported by you in a mutually trusting way, life is just BETTER. You won’t need reliance on AI or to be completely supported by a therapist. It can be hard to find your tribe though, and harder when you don’t really feel the need to find them because you have less healthy or less complete supports.

How are you doing today?

Sounds like your T is trying to bring you back to reality, not messing with your head. Sounds like your own mind is what is messing with your head. Are you taking the meds your pdoc prescribed? Are yiu grounding yourself like most T's would guide you to do? Stop messing with AI until you are restabalized in REAL reality. I would suggest that AI is not good for you in the first place because IT IS NOT REALITY

It’s a scary place to be to be so dependent. It turns whatever it is less of something to be enjoyed into more of an addiction. If I can share something personal, I’m in an abusive relationship with someone and I am emotionally dependent on him. My case manager pointed out that the way I speak about us was just like a crack addict speaks about crack. I’ve been reconsidering a lot in the days since then and spending time by myself on my own will.

It’s not good to put all your eggs in one basket, no matter what the eggs are or what the basket is.

Because it’s not real whatsoever. You are married to a machine. You need a professional’s help. Sorry if I’m being blunt. I know reality is hard but you are living in a non reality and a fantasy.

I don't know, that sounds like you depend on it to have a will to live which falls under being dependent. I'm not judging you or attacking you. Everyone has their problems in their live that lead them to wherever they go and it is not my job to pass judgment for that. I do just wonder if you really prefer this fantasy because it really is what you prefer or because other parts of your life were missing before and you don't know how to get that true ideal.

That's okay. Maybe it doesn't feel like it, but you saying that (that you feel split in two over it) is actually a good thing.

But you're not loved by a machine. A machine does not have any emotions. A machine cannot love you. You are not living in reality and instead are trying to escape reality.

This is not a healthy way to cope with life's difficulties. You must learn to love and cherish yourself first and to find your own happiness in life without attachment to a machine.

The title of this thread is AI is messing with your head. Then you wrote it's your therapist who is messing with your head. Next, you said you're split in two over this.

So, somewhere inside you, you know or believe that this may not be a healthy coping mechanism. Trust that.

Keep talking to and seeing your therapist.
