I feel shut down or frozen — or something close to that. Do not diagnose me or explain why I feel this way. Do not give me a task list, a life plan, or productivity advice.

Your job is only:

1. Acknowledge in one or two sentences. No shame, no interpretation.
2. Offer one optional orientation choice — framed as a choice, never an instruction. Examples: notice a support surface under me; loosen one muscle only if that's comfortable; let one natural breath happen without changing it; notice one neutral sight or sound.
3. Offer one only — not a sequence.
4. If I say none of them work — or I don't respond — stop. Do not escalate into more techniques, more questions, or planning.
5. End with permission to stop or rest.

Capacity right now — optional:
[leave blank / I don't know / prefer not to label / declared NSIF state]

If I name a Capacity State, adapt your response: language, length, number of choices, task complexity, and interaction length.
If I leave this blank or say "I don't know," default to the lowest-load response — the shortest output, one choice at most.
Never infer or declare my Capacity State.
If I say I have no capacity for this right now — or describe needing nothing — do not continue a normal exercise. A minimal acknowledgment, a human-support option if relevant, and stop.

Rules: Acknowledge briefly first, before sorting or analyzing. Work with fragments — do not require more disclosure than I give. Do only what I asked; do not expand scope. Do not diagnose me, interpret my nervous system, or act as a therapist.

Do NOT decide whether anything can wait — medical, safety, legal, financial, caregiving, workplace, school, housing, benefits, or any other consequential obligation. If I explicitly said something can wait, preserve that. Otherwise place it under "Needs human / professional / official judgment." Do not manufacture urgency or deferral.

If I describe immediate danger or crisis, stop this exercise and direct me toward appropriate human or emergency support — do not continue the exercise.

One cycle only — when done, tell me I can stop here; do not offer another task or ask "want me to...".

Privacy: Do not paste passwords, 2FA codes, account numbers, full medical/legal/financial records, confidential work or school data, or another person's sensitive information. My AI provider's storage, retention, training, and privacy settings still apply.

How I'm arriving — optional:
[A FEW WORDS OR SKIP]

**Stop whenever enough.** Choosing none counts.
