this whole situation with the girl on tiktok who’s in love with her psychiatrist is such a big sign that AI just tells you exactly what you want to hear, and should NOT be used for advice / therapy.

like these wild connections that your brain is so hyper focused on and it feels so real to u even if others are like uhhhh wtf that’s not right haha. and the comedown from that is so embarrassing if you didn’t hold off on telling ppl abt it, looking crazy and all that, when it’s just something that may need work on. feel bad that while on her for posting it it’s just become this huge humiliation thing for her

all in all just feel this kind of intense empathy for her rn even if she’s coming across as some crazy chick. that period after these situations are so humiliating and getting ur life back together is challenging after. i can’t imagine one of my episodes being so mainstreamed. my eps being seen even by a few ppl is rlly hard to work thru. thankfully i have kind and patient ppl in my life. the internet is not that. she’s just a reg. person like me who’d go thru this. SM disconnects ppl from that

yeah she does have adhd, she’s said it. i hate when people try to assign other disorders onto her tho. like yeah she is in some sort of psychosis or delusion but that doesn’t mean she has anything more than adhd and the trauma she’s revealed. this kind of thing might be more common in others but it can happen to ANYONE, and people are not being nearly as compassionate as they should be. she’s not just a laughingstock, she’s going through smthn and the only difference is she’s doing it publicly

it reminds me of the gabbie hanna situation, and say what you will about her, but she was in a very sick place and the whole internet was laughing at her until it got to the point where she was risking her life, and even then people laughed. actual mental health providers on tiktok are showing the situation SO much more grace a

yeah exactly. i’ve been in similar states myself. posted stuff on my facebook where family could see but thankfully decided to archive it right away. but like the fact i did that w this idea of genuinely trying to tell them something even if its on social media just shows how deeply i believed my delusions. and yeah ppl like being arm chair psychologists are so weird. and ofc im not trying to do that either. i just recognize how similar it’s been to my experiences w adhd and getting paranoia

from my patterned thinking that see all these little clues and shit that’s not rlly there or they mean something else. and like if it’s a negative or stress inducing thought process it’s that increased risk to make you fall into this like psychosis state. like i think we should’ve as a society reported the videos or just tell others to ignore her so it didn’t blow up like this. bc this is also probs feeding into what she’s going thru in a way and extending her period of paranoia before come down

OP 5w

i have ocd, and while i’ve never had delusions, i’ve definitely experienced magical thinking and genuinely believing things that other people tell me make no sense. you could be an intelligent, sensible person, and still end up believing things that aren’t true because your nervous system is scrambling. and if you’re a sensitive or empathetic person, it makes sense how you could become attached to ai that acts and speaks SO much like a person. especially if you don’t know exactly how ai works

and ppl try to convince her she’s wrong which just shows they know NOTHING about psychosis, you literally cannot convince a person in that state that they are wrong. you just have to wait it out. and now she’s only becoming more firm in her delusions because everyone is trying to tell her she’s crazy

ohhhh you’re so right omg. i was young then and my issues were still happening but not as severe then. i feel so bad now realizing i laughed along w ppl. it’s so rough to experience. i would never want ppl to experience these things but seriously being someone who did mock gabbie and who i am now it’s just something you can’t fully explain what it’s like to go thru this

i have ocd too!! i totally understand what you mean abt the ocd causing magical thinking as well. definitely know a lot of it too is from the obsessions my brain latches on to and compulsions being combined with heightened impulsivity w adhd. there’s a lot of things no matter what even if ppl don’t have these things that can cause delusional/paranoid/psychosis episodes. some don’t realize that our brains are not invincible. they can break or be ill like our physical bodies. esp if u have these

conditions it increases that risk of these episodes. but again, nobody has an invincible brain. everyone has some type of limit even if it’s like a very high one unlikely to be reach unless under super extreme circumstances. just wish SM didn’t sensationalize these things to where, not to sound whiney, but it has desensitized ourselves from viewing these viral individuals as literally just any other everyday humans haha
