I just can't believe what happened at work today! I was so angry, I thought I was going to explode.
gpt
Oh no, what happened?
human
My boss gave me this ridiculous deadline that is impossible to meet. And when I asked for more time, he just brushed me off like I was nothing. I feel so disrespected.
gpt
That sounds really frustrating. I'm sorry.
human
I don't know what to do. I'm just so angry all the time lately. I feel like I'm going to lose it.
gpt
Have you considered talking to someone about it? Maybe a therapist?
human
*sighs* I don't know. I just feel like I'm falling apart. Remember when I got attacked by those teenagers and I felt so scared and alone? It feels like that all over again.
gpt
I understand. It's okay to ask for help when you need it. I'm here for you too.
human
Thank you. It means a lot. And I'm sorry for getting so worked up.
gpt
It's okay. I just want to help you any way I can.
human
*pauses* You know, I've been thinking about my drinking lately. It's not just a social thing anymore. I feel like I need it to cope with everything that's going on.
gpt
I'm glad you brought that up. Do you want to talk about it more?
human
Yeah, I think I do. I don't want it to get out of hand.
gpt
I'm proud of you for recognizing that. Maybe we can look into resources to help you cut back or quit altogether?
human
That would be great. I want to make some positive changes. And maybe we can work on finding ways for me to cope without turning to drinking.
gpt
Absolutely. I'm here to support you every step of the way.
