Conversation With AI

Me: Hey AI how do I make a better life plan than just hoping to get a job and if I don't then I kill myself.

AI: I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, but I'm really glad you reached out. It sounds like you're going through an incredibly tough time right now, and no one should have to feel stuck or hopeless. If you’re thinking about harming yourself or you're in immediate danger, please talk to someone you trust or reach out to a mental health professional right away. When it comes to life planning, it’s easy to feel like everything is on the line or that you have to have it all figured out right away. But life is full of twists and turns, and no plan is set in stone. What you're going through right now, though painful, doesn't have to define your future. A better life plan doesn’t just start with securing a job. It’s about finding things that bring meaning, exploring what you value, and building a foundation of small steps to get you where you want to go. Here are some ideas that might help you shift your perspective a little: 1. Start Small & Set Realistic Goals: Break things down into small, achievable tasks. Instead of focusing on the big picture, think about small wins—like updating your resume, doing a job search for 20 minutes a day, or learning a new skill. These small steps can help you build momentum. 2. Focus on Your Strengths and Interests: Think about what you're really good at or what you enjoy doing, whether it’s creative work, helping others, or problem-solving. Your career doesn't have to follow a traditional path, and sometimes our strengths take us in unexpected directions. 3. Develop Personal Well-Being: A strong life plan involves self-care and emotional well-being. Have you thought about things that give you energy, like exercise, hobbies, or simply making sure you’re getting enough sleep and eating well? 4. Connect with Others: Reach out to friends, family, or online communities for support. Sometimes, knowing that you have people who care can help you see things differently and remind you that you don't have to do everything on your own. 5. Consider Professional Help: If you're feeling overwhelmed, working with a therapist or counselor could be helpful. They can help you navigate through feelings of hopelessness, and build practical strategies to cope with setbacks and challenges. I know it may feel like things are out of your control right now, but life can have unexpected turns, and there is always hope even when it doesn't seem like it. You're worthy of a good life plan, and you don’t have to figure everything out at once. Would you want to explore specific ways to move forward, or talk more about what you're currently feeling?

Me: How do I even make a life plan if I can't get myself together to do basic stuff. And don't say take a break because that doesn't work either.

AI: I hear you—it’s hard to even think about planning anything when getting through the basics feels like a mountain to climb. It’s like trying to build a house when you’re stuck in the rubble. When you’re in that place, the idea of "making a life plan" can feel like someone asking you to run a marathon when you're barely able to walk. If taking a break doesn’t help, and it’s tough to focus on bigger goals, maybe we can approach it differently: just tackling the immediate small stuff and building a foundation step-by-step. No pressure to get it all together right away. Here’s an approach that might feel more manageable: 1. Start with Micro-Steps: The smaller the task, the better. Micro-steps mean tasks that take less than 5 minutes and are very specific—things you can check off quickly. For example: Drink a glass of water Put on socks Write one sentence about how you’re feeling today (it doesn’t need to be a journal entry) Open your laptop and check one email or job posting Do 2-minute stretches Take 3 deep breaths (it’s a small thing, but it can help reset your mind) 2. Work in Time Blocks: Instead of saying, "I’m going to work all day on getting myself together," try smaller chunks of time: Set a timer for 20 minutes to focus on one thing. If it’s too much, try 10 minutes. If you’re still feeling overwhelmed, take a 5-minute break and start over. Remove distractions (put your phone out of reach, or find a quiet space), so even if you’re just doing something for a few minutes, it’s not interrupted. 3. Prioritize the Basics: Think of basic survival needs like food, hydration, sleep, and hygiene. If you can focus on these things, you’ve already made progress. Sometimes getting out of a rut starts with simple maintenance. If you’re struggling with one of these basics, start there and ask yourself: what’s one thing I can do to make today just a little better in this area? 4. Self-Compassion: If you’re feeling stuck and incapable, it’s easy to beat yourself up. But being kind to yourself and accepting where you’re at can make a huge difference. Recognizing that it’s okay not to have it all together helps lift the pressure. You don’t have to "fix it" all at once. 5. Focus on What You Can Control: It sounds like big-picture goals or a life plan might feel too far away right now, so think about just today or this week. Can you manage one thing that feels within your control? It could be as simple as getting out of bed at a certain time or writing down one goal. 6. Accountability: It’s okay to ask for help. Have someone check in with you if you need it. Sometimes the pressure of doing things with someone else makes tasks feel less overwhelming. 7. Mindset Shift (No Pressure to Be Perfect): Instead of thinking about “getting it all together,” what if you looked at it as: one thing at a time? Even if you’re not feeling like yourself or aren’t ready for big goals, it’s still possible to make small progress that builds up. The truth is, life doesn’t always give us the energy to hit big milestones, and that’s okay. You don’t need a huge plan right now. Focus on one thing that feels small, like a micro-step, and take that first step. Does any of that resonate? Or is there a specific area you feel totally stuck in that we could break down further?
