A long Reddit post shares coping strategies for AI anxiety
Helloiamwhoiam · reddit · 2026-07-24
The author describes AI-related anxiety as a real and isolating experience and suggests a few coping strategies. They recommend seeking therapy when possible, cautioning against using an LLM as a therapist, and mention low-cost options such as sliding-scale care and inexpensive medication.
They also share practical grounding tools like balance boards and audiobooks, arguing that both can help interrupt spiraling thoughts. The broader message is that people can hold nuanced views on AI—neither pure hype nor pure dismissal—while still taking their own mental health seriously.
