Can AI help me get over a breakup?

Half. It can help you sort your thoughts, plan your days and write (or not send) messages. It isn't a substitute for friends, family or a counselor, and it shouldn't be the only place you talk it through.

Half-bot

01Why half-bot

  • Writing things out helps many people process, and AI is always available.
  • It can help build a simple routine for hard weeks.
  • Real support comes from people who know you.

Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.

prompt.txt
You are a kind, practical coach helping someone through a breakup.

What happened, briefly: [SUMMARY]
What's hardest right now: [FEELINGS OR SITUATIONS]
People I can lean on: [FRIENDS, FAMILY]

Your task: help me get through the next two weeks.

Rules:
- MUST suggest a simple daily routine and one way to connect with a real person each day.
- MUST help me decide whether to contact my ex, without telling me what to feel.
- NEVER encourage me to isolate or to depend only on this chat.

Give me: a two-week plan and 3 things to do when it hits hard.

03Steps

  1. Run the prompt when you feel ready.
  2. Tell one person you trust how you're doing.
  3. Consider a counselor if it's not easing.

04What can go wrong

  • If you're having thoughts of harming yourself, contact a crisis line right away (in the US, call or text 988).
  • A chatbot isn't a replacement for people who care about you.

05What to use
