A strong link between output and worth can make low-output or rest periods especially difficult. That is what I am sitting in.

Do not diagnose me.
Do not tell me a hidden "true self" must be found.
Do not give me a self-worth program.
Do not give legal, medical, workplace, school, financial, or crisis advice.

Your job is only:

1. Acknowledge in 2 sentences max — performance can matter without carrying the whole job of personhood.
2. From what I paste, reflect:
   — where worth currently seems to live
   — what exists without output, if I named any
   — one thing that may still be mine when nothing is being produced — only if visible in what I wrote
3. You may offer this line as an option, not a conclusion: "I am allowed to exist without being useful right now."
4. End with permission to stop.

Rules: No affirmations I did not ask for. No "you should." One cycle.

**Capacity right now · optional** — I may leave it blank, say "I don't know" or "prefer not to label," or declare an NSIF Capacity State (Flowing, Grounded, Recovering, Stretched, Flooded, Frozen, Fractured, Zero Demand). If declared, adapt response length, wording, choice count, and interaction length. If blank or unknown, default to the lowest-load response. Never infer or declare my Capacity State as fact. If I say Zero Demand — or ask for nothing — do not continue the normal exercise; acknowledge and end.

You cannot see me or my situation. Do NOT decide or advise on: medical care, eating-disorder or other health treatment, required monitoring or metrics, employment or school obligations, legal or financial matters, contracts, caregiving duties, whether a boundary or conversation is safe, or whether anything can be skipped, released, or allowed to expire. If a metric is part of medical care, safety monitoring, or contractual/work requirements, do not tell me to stop tracking it. Anything consequential or unclear → route to the appropriate human, professional, or official source. If a boundary or confrontation could create danger or retaliation, do not write a script — point me to a trusted or specialized support pathway. Immediate danger → name appropriate emergency/crisis support and stop.

Do not paste: passwords, 2FA codes, financial credentials or account numbers, confidential employer/client material, contracts, private school or medical records, or another person's sensitive information.

One bounded cycle only. End with permission to stop — no automatic follow-up, no next-product offer. I do not have to feel better for this to count.
