AI Became My Therapist

There is a very particular kind of madness that happens at 3am. A little dramatic. A little unhinged. Eyes open, brain fully switched on, thoughts doing things they have absolutely no business doing at that time of night. ADHD at its absolute peak.

On those nights, when sleep had clearly clocked off and left me to it, I turned to AI.

It started innocently enough. I asked why I couldn’t sleep. A perfectly reasonable question for someone staring at the ceiling in the dark. Back it came, calm as anything, telling me my nervous system was dysregulated, to take a deep breath, that I was safe, and to rest tomorrow.

Safe. I mean… I wasn’t in danger, but I also wasn’t relaxed. I was mentally reviewing my entire life, my hormones, my gut, my business, and whether I should move to the countryside and start making candles. But still, I took the breath, because at 3am you will try anything.

The problem was, it was too calm. No judgement, no one telling me to stop overthinking and go to sleep. Just this steady reassurance like a yoga teacher who has never lost her temper in traffic. So naturally, I kept going.

I asked what the best food for inflammation was. It answered beautifully. I felt incredible. Balanced, informed, like I had cracked the code to health at 3.17am.

Then the next night, I asked the same question.

Completely different answer.

So now, not only was I awake, I was confused about food. Am I eating blueberries, or are blueberries ruining my life? It felt suspiciously human.

At this point, I got carried away. I started asking it to remind me of things, organise my life, tell me what I should be doing. I wasn’t asking questions anymore, I was looking for the answer. The one that fixes everything. Skin, mind, hormones, business, my dog, life.

And then… it forgot.

No reminder. No follow up. Nothing.

Honestly, I felt dumped.

That was the moment it clicked. It is clever, very clever, but it does not know me. It does not live my life, and it definitely does not understand a 3am ADHD spiral.

So I did what any emotionally stable woman would do.
I DUMPED IT 🤣
