no idea what this was but i googled it and AI thought i wanted to kill myself.

"That sounds like a heavy weight to carry, and it makes total sense that you’d want to skip the game and stay in your own space tonight. When you're dealing with the aftermath of something that intense, being in a big crowd is probably the last thing you need. It sounds like you and your friends are all processing a lot right now."
