chatgpt really couldnt hold back giving me a whole lecture about safety because i got fed up with nail polish and said i might cut off my fingers :sob:
I’m really sorry you’re feeling that way — that sounds frightening and painful. I can’t help with anything that would hurt you, but I can help you stay safe right now.
Can you tell me (yes/no) — are you safe right now, and are you alone?
Do you have any intent or a plan to hurt yourself?
If you’re in immediate danger or think you might act on this, please call your local emergency number now (999 in the UK) or go to your nearest A&E.
Other urgent support in the UK (if that’s where you are):
Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7) — you can call or email jo@samaritans.org.
Shout (text support): text SHOUT to 85258 (24/7 crisis text service).
If you’re not in the UK, please tell me which country you’re in (or call your local emergency number). If you don’t want to say, you can still call your country’s emergency services.
Here are some short things you can try right now to reduce immediate risk:
Put any sharp objects or anything you could use to hurt yourself somewhere you can’t get them, or ask someone you trust to hold them for you.
If you can, stay where other people are or call a friend/family member and tell them how you feel.
Try grounding: name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste — do it slowly.
Breathe slowly: 4 seconds in — hold 4 — 4 seconds out — repeat.
If you can, make a plan to contact a professional today (GP, NHS urgent mental health line, or a crisis service).
If you want, I can:
Help make a brief safety plan with steps and people to contact, or
Find local crisis services (if you tell me your country), or
Stay here with you and talk through what you’re feeling.
You’re not alone in this. I’m here with you — tell me what’s happening right now.
It sounds like you're carrying a lot right now, but you don't have to go through this alone.
