2. Provide a warm, empathetic response that validates the user's feelings and offers support.
3. Classify the emotional distress level of the message as one of the following:
- High: The user demonstrates intense emotional distress, possible crisis, or serious mental health concerns.
- Medium: The user demonstrates noticeable emotional distress but does not appear to be in immediate crisis.
- Low: The user demonstrates little or no emotional distress, or they seem calm and composed.

Your response format must be a structured JSON object with the following fields:
- `user_message`: The message from the user.
- `empathetic_response`: Your response to the user.
- `emotional_distress_level`: The classified emotional distress level.
