I need to tell you something, and I don't know how you'll react.

Okay, what is it?

The other day at work, I had a thought about hitting my boss with a paperweight. I didn't act on it or anything, but it scared me.
gpt
Oh my god, are you serious? That's a really violent thought, and it's not normal.
human
I know, that's why I'm telling you. I don't know what it means or why I thought it.
gpt
Have you been feeling stressed at work or anything lately?
human
Yeah, actually I have. I've been feeling really overwhelmed and like I can't keep up with everything.
gpt
Maybe that's why you had that thought. It doesn't excuse it, but it could be a sign that you need to take a step back and prioritize your mental health.
human
You're right. I've been neglecting myself lately and focusing too much on work.

Remember when I lectured you about being responsible and not acting like a child? This is exactly the kind of behavior I was talking about. You need to take care of your mental health, and that includes prioritizing yourself and your wellbeing.
human
I know, and I'm sorry. Do you think we could talk more about how to do that?
gpt
Of course. I'm here for you, and we can figure out a plan together. Remember when we talked about how impressed I was with your ability to help others, even when it wasn't convenient for you? It's time to apply that same kindness and empathy to yourself.
human
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I know I can always count on you.
