How can I make "whereis" automatically open the file on Nvim when it is the only result?

EDIT: SOLVED
It looks like it was much simple than I thought and someone solved it on Reddit already. I won't delete, just leave the link if someone is interested.
Runtime Environment
- OS: MX Linux 18
- Result of Y: 4.19.0-5-amd64
- dotfiles
- i3 version: 4.13
- ~/.config/i3
- GNU Emacs: 27.0.50
- ~/.emacs.d
Issue
Sometimes I use "whereis" (aliased for "wh", but it doesn't make any difference...) for my own scripts.
I usually copy their paths manually (using tmux) and paste to the command line resulting in something like this:
nvim /home/my_username/my_scripts_folder/my_script
Could I make that into a single command?
Thanks in advance!

For those that aren't familiar with it, Kind Words is a recently released "game" where players can write a message about a difficulty they're facing or something that's troubling them. Other real people in the game can then respond, letting that person know that they're not alone. Players can also write un-addressed messages of positivity in the game, which are spread to other users via paper airplanes.
I figured we could have a thread on Tildes with our own version of the game via comments.
Here's how I figure it will work. We'll have three post types:
Request: share your situation in order to get kind words in response
Response: offer kind words to other people who have posted here
Airplane: write general thoughts of goodwill for all the readers of the threadPlease begin your post by naming its type in bold font. For those posing Requests, please let people know if you would rather receive public responses or PMs.
Example post:
Request: Sometimes I find myself wondering if there's any point to anything. It feels like I'm working so hard at meaningless stuff, just to get by. Anyone else feel this way?
That isn't my request, just an example of what someone might type.
Remember that the point of the thread is to let people know that they are heard and that they are not alone!
Let's all be kind!

after a month sabbatical, we're back. this is pretty straightforward, i think: vent your experiences or things you need to get off your chest/share whatever you've found helps you mentally/etc.
resources that might also be of some benefit to people:
- there is, as always, the invaluable list of country hotlines maintained by /r/SuicideWatch
- https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/ ("an online source of information for persons seeking treatment facilities in the United States or U.S. Territories for substance abuse/addiction and/or mental health problems")

I've noticed a lot of people in introductory threads mentioning their mental health issues and a sizeable number of people who took the survey indicated they consider themselves mentally ill. I myself have been dealing with depression for about 16 years.
Without a search function it's hard to tell if this is a repost, but I figured I'd give it a go and see if anyone out there is in need of some support. If you need someone to talk to, consider this thread a support group and I will be here to lean on. :)

Anyone here in recovery and looking for support?
I'd love to see some sort of recovery support here; my experience with online communities has been invaluable as I've figured out what works and what doesn't.
