Tonight was my first session with the shrink.
Things you need to know. She's nice. She's a bit young. And she specialises in people with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma and neurodiverisity - she she ticks my boxes for a therapist.
And even though I've been feeling a lot better of later, I came out feeling hopeful, but pretty wrung out. All I'm good for is sitting on the couch eating raisin toast. Because raisin toast fixes most things. Sitting on the couch eating raising toast and watching Ted Lasso.
So, I've outsourced my blog to AI tonight.
I asked it:
I need to write a blog post about my visit to the psychologist tonight.
AI wanted to know more.
I told it the following:
It was my first visit. We talked about what I wanted from these sessions. She was very nice but a bit young. I left feeling a bit wrung out. I'm now sitting on the couch watching Ted Lasso.
It came back with the following:
Thank you for sharing that with me. Based on what you've described, here are a few tips on how to write a blog post about your visit to the psychologist tonight:
Start by introducing the topic: Begin your blog post by introducing the topic of mental health and the stigma surrounding seeking help from professionals. You could also mention what led you to make an appointment with a psychologist in the first place.
Share your experience: Describe the appointment, including your initial impressions of the psychologist and how you felt during the session. You could also write about what you discussed during the appointment and whether or not it met your expectations.
Be honest: Don't be afraid to share any concerns or reservations you may have had about the process of seeking help and going to counseling. This will help readers who may be feeling the same way feel more comfortable seeking help for themselves.
End on a positive note: Even if you left feeling a bit drained, try to end your blog post on a positive note by discussing the ways in which seeking help from a psychologist can be beneficial in the long run. You could also mention any goals you would like to accomplish through continued therapy.
Here's an example introduction:
"Tonight, I took the first step in addressing my mental health by going to see a psychologist. As someone who has always struggled to open up to others, I was hesitant to seek help at first. But I decided to take the plunge and make an appointment. Here's what happened during my first session..."
Remember to use your own authentic voice and perspective when writing the blog post. Best of luck with your writing!
That's not my writing style. And it has some good things to say, but I'm not going to write about it tonight. I think I need to process a bit more.
I then asked it:
My cat is being a prick. What should I do?
I can understand why you might be feeling frustrated with your cat's behavior. However, it's important to approach the situation with patience and understanding. Here are a few tips on what you can do:
Try to understand your cat's behavior: Cats can be moody and unpredictable, but their behavior is usually based on a specific trigger. Try to identify what's causing your cat to act out, whether it's a change in their routine, a lack of attention or playtime, or a new stressor in their environment.
Address any underlying health issues: Sometimes, a cat's behavior can be related to an underlying health issue. If your cat is acting aggressively or exhibiting unusual behavior, it's important to take them to the vet to rule out any underlying health problems.
Provide outlets for your cat's energy: Cats need both mental and physical stimulation to stay healthy and happy. Make sure your cat has plenty of toys to play with, scratching posts to keep their claws sharp, and opportunities to climb and explore their environment.
Stay calm and patient: When your cat is behaving poorly, it's important not to react with anger or aggression. This can only escalate the situation and make it worse. Instead, try to remain calm and patient while you work to understand and address your cat's behavior.
I hope those tips help you manage your cat's behavior and improve your relationship with them. Remember, cats have their own personalities and preferences, so it may take some time and effort to find what works best for you and your furry friend.
AI is a bit of a sychopant. Surely it should just say, "All cats are pricks, deal with it." But no, it goes and wastes another couple of hundred words.
The cat is just pissed off because I went to the office, then went out, and I pasted his nose with yoghurt this morning.
He'll be sleeping between my knees by midnight.
As for AI, I'll give it a miss.
