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.

In my experience it gets worse as the amount of context increases. I’ll often re-ask a question w/o history just for comparison (getting significantly different results), and for the same reason i can’t imagine the “memory” feature being beneficial (quickly turned that off).
