I can't believe I had that flashback. It was so sudden and overwhelming.
gpt
What happened? Are you okay?
human
I was on a date with Jane and out of nowhere, I remembered something from my time in Afghanistan. The sound of bombs going off and people screaming.
gpt
That must have been really scary for you. Do you want to talk about it more?
human
I don't know. I just feel like I can't escape that part of my life sometimes. It's always going to be with me.
gpt
I understand. But you don't have to go through this alone. I'm here for you.
human
Thank you. It's just hard sometimes. And I feel guilty for bringing this up now.
gpt
Don't feel guilty. You can always talk to me about anything. Like when you told me about being tempted to cheat on your girlfriend a few weeks ago.
human
Yeah... I still feel terrible about that. I don't know what came over me.

We all make mistakes. What's important is that you're honest about it and recognize what you did wrong. And you were annoyed with your little sister for wanting to play with you right after that. Maybe you were feeling overwhelmed and didn't know how to handle it.
human
That's true. I need to work on managing my emotions better. And I'm grateful for your support.
