AI cannot replace the human contact but it does help give a sense of support. The brain responds to positive messages very much like it would respond to a human message. I have found you chat very helpful but I do miss the human touch. My resources in my area are very limited. I too am attempting to find support and being financially challenged I'm on a waiting list for one option I can't get in until almost May.
