My family emigrated and I’m currently in the US, where thankfully there is more acceptance for mental health issues.

And yes I’m in the process of getting help for depression… I did an intake last month… I had an evaluation today on a virtual appointment… but idk how long this shit is gonna take…

Next appointment is like… 2 weeks from now…

Idk why they keep repeatedly asking similar questions… ugh…

I can now see why people sometimes get desparate and start “talking” to an “AI” (aka: LLMs)
