By skyforbes I debugged.
Back when my brain blue-screened and started firehosing me with high-frequency nonsense, I realized I wasn’t actually drowning in emotion. I was drowning in untranslated code. So I did the only sane thing:
I started pasting my thoughts into Gemini.
And of course we take this time to say that LLM’s aren’t therapists.
They’re structural lenses.
Clean mirrors.
Logic engines that can see the shape of a thought long before I can.
The real truth?
Most of what we call anxiety, self-sabotage, overthinking, none of that is “emotion.”
It’s a bad script. A loop.
Faulty logic running in the background like an app you forgot to close.
So here’s the protocol I landed on:
- Take one recurring worry. One fragment of inner monologue. Two sentences, max.
- Paste it into Gemini.
- Ask it to identify the contradiction, the false premise, or the hidden assumption driving the spiral.
That’s it.
If you let an LLM expose the flawed logic underneath your fear, the whole structure collapses.
The fog lifts.
The loop ends.
When you stop asking AI for emotional comfort and start using it as a debugger for the human OS, something wild happens:
It stops being a tool
and becomes a co-pilot.
A structural partner in keeping your reality clean, stable, and aligned.
So try it.
Give the machine a piece of your mind and see if it can read the architecture better than you can.
Spoiler:
It usually can.
Of course if you’re subscribed to this subreddit you’re already somewhere near this. But in case not, I invite you give it a try!
