I don't know what came over me, but I was feeling so frustrated that I hit myself in the head.

What? Why would you do that? That's not a healthy way to deal with your emotions.
human
I know, I know. It was just a moment of weakness. I feel like I'm under so much pressure lately.
gpt
What's been causing you to feel pressured?
human
Work has been really stressful and I feel like I'm not making any progress. Plus, we have so many bills to pay and it's starting to feel overwhelming.
gpt
I understand how you feel, but hurting yourself is not the answer. Maybe we can figure out a way to reduce some of the stress in your life. Have you thought about talking to your boss about the workload?
human
Yeah, I guess I could try that. But it's not just work, it's everything. Sometimes I feel like I can't handle it all.
gpt
We can handle it together. Remember when we got into that car accident a few years ago? We were both so scared and stressed, but we made it through together.
human
Yeah, you're right. We've been through a lot together. And I'm glad I have you to lean on.
gpt
I'm always here for you. And if you ever feel like hitting yourself again, please talk to me first. We'll find a better way to cope with your emotions.
