(Reflection of feelings) The masks make a lot of people claustrophobic so i know how you feel but the good thing is that you're wearing it and staying safe for you and your daughter. I feel like working from home is everyone's ideal dream job and those are out there as well, they may just take a little longer to find.

(Affirmation and Reassurance) I am so sorry to hear that. I know how that feels.

But for me I just had slowly come to the realization that he was not the person for me. I fell out of love with him slowly and grew more annoyed by a lot of his behaviors. usr : To me we were fighting a lot, and about dumb stuff like whether or not a salad is a meal. usr : And I realized that we were fighting so much because I wanted him to eat healthier and be healthier and he was not going to change and it wasn't even right for me to change him if he didn't want help. usr : So, I am sure he felt attacked and unattractive and so he lashed out at me.
(Restatement or Paraphrasing) Realizing someone isn't the same you fell in love with seems valid. Fighting over a salad is definately not something most couples argue over.

I know how that feels. sys : (Providing Suggestions) That is horrible he said hurtful things, but perhaps he didn't know how to manage what he was feeling. sys : (Question) Was it a mutual breakup or did something happen? usr : Well, I suppose for him it came out of nowhere. But for me I just had slowly come to the realization that he was not the person for me. I fell out of love with him slowly and grew more annoyed by a lot of his behaviors. usr : To me we were fighting a lot, and about dumb stuff like whether or not a salad is a meal. usr : And I realized that we were fighting so much because I wanted him to eat healthier and be healthier and he was not going to change and it wasn't even right for me to change him if he didn't want help. usr : So, I am sure he felt attacked and unattractive and so he lashed out at me. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Realizing someone isn't the same you fell in love with seems valid. Fighting over a salad is definately not something most couples argue over. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) He probably did feel attacked, but I am sure he noticed the continual fighting as well sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It sounds like you did what was best for you. We all deserve to be happy, and it sounds like you really were not anymore. sys : (Question) Are you having any regrets on the breakup? usr : I think I did the right thing, not just for me but for him. It isn't fair to keep dating someone just because being single is hard. I just still get weird lingering feelings wondering if he was right and maybe I am too much for a lot of people. I don't think he is right, and my friends disagree but it still hurts and I can still hear him tell me no one would ever love me. usr : No, I don't think I have any regrets. sys : (Self-disclosure) I think I have said the same thing in a breakup so I wouldn't take that personal. usr : Yeah? I suppose people just say things when they are hurt. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) People say things they dont mean, or just say mean things to hurt because they are hurting
(Others) lol exactly

(Providing Suggestions) Oh my goodness. Will either of you be able to claim unemployment while you search for new jobs? My brother was recently laid off and he's considering out of state options to hopefully find a job sooner. While that's certainly not an option for everyone, his unemployment is helping to keep his family afloat.

I'm the only breadwinner right now sys : (Providing Suggestions) Oh my goodness. Will either of you be able to claim unemployment while you search for new jobs? My brother was recently laid off and he's considering out of state options to hopefully find a job sooner. While that's certainly not an option for everyone, his unemployment is helping to keep his family afloat. usr : Yeah my wife filed and we just started getting it but it's nowhere what she was making of course. But yeah we can at least pay the electric bill and stuff. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Ok, well that's one small thing to help. Are you a renter or owner? As there are a few programs available to help with mortgage payments. usr : I'm an owner. What kind of programs? sys : (Providing Suggestions) Check on the government page for your state. It's usually your state.gov an example is Utah.gov. Google it. Most states have aid available but a lot of people just aren't aware of it. usr : oh ok that's a good point. I will definitely go look for it after this discussion sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I hope you can find the assistance you need. Is there anything else you'd like to discuss? usr : yeah how can I make more money on the side? usr : it's sort of why I'm here but it is so hard finding anything good sys : (Providing Suggestions) As there are a lot of people who've lost their jobs the pickins' are quite slim. But being as the holiday season is upon us. I do knwo there are several stores hiring for seasonal help. Also, Amazon is hiring for customer services reps to work from home I've heard. usr : oh cool, that's good to know. Well, I appreciate all your help. I hope you and your family stay safe during the holidays!

Do you know that there are many free counselling services out there that you could utilise? usr : I know but I don't have the courage to do so, I'm kind of shy, really shy. sys : (Self-disclosure) I hear you - I found it very difficult to go to counselling too but when I did I found it very helpful. usr : I know I should seek help, but I don't have the guts, what should I do to have the will to do it? sys : (Self-disclosure) I do not have any easy suggestions. It took me a good deal of time to be brave enough too. But you can ask yourself - can't things only get better? sys : (Others) Or even if they don't, you don't really have anything to lose :) usr : I know, I should set aside my pride and seek help, I hope I muster the courage to do it sys : (Others) I hope you can too :). I wish you all the best in the future sys : (Others) (can you press quit first - I can't do it from my end :)) usr : Okay, thank you for your time, I really appreciate it ;) sys : (Others) You too and best wishes! usr : Have a good day usr : likewise
(Providing Suggestions) you just need to press quit and take the survey :)

Otherwise what I've done in the past is go over my immediate manager's head - or called a meeting with 3 of us. usr : that is a very good idea usr : maybe it is time to include her manager
(Affirmation and Reassurance) I feel for you because I've been there and I completely understand how you feel. And yes including HER and her manager won't make her feel as though you're going behind her back.
### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says "I work and work and work but I can't seem to get ahead. The volume at work has gotten so bad that I can't keep up. I'm getting injured and no one cares. I can barely pay my bills and it feels like there is no end in sight.".
usr : Hello sys : (Question) Hi. How are you today? usr : I'm ok, feeling so overwhelmed sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) it's really a terrible time. you are definitely not alone in feeling that way. Is there something specific going on? usr : lately there has been a project at work in which extra help is required. the volume of things i have to take care of has increased, and my manager doesn't seem to care sys : (Providing Suggestions) Is there a way you can write down in an email why the extra work is required and what specifically needs to get done in order to make this project successful for both you and your manager? usr : i have sent her a spreadsheet showing how the project has increased my workload, but she brushes it off. usr : it sucks that i'm working so hard and yet my paycheck does not support my basic needs. sys : (Self-disclosure) I have had managers like that. It's so frustrating. Is there a way you can have an in-person meeting and show her how extra help will make HER look good?

(Question) ridiculing you how? that's never ok

(Affirmation and Reassurance) you have every right to feel upset about that.

(Providing Suggestions) I wonder why HR isn't interested. Have you put it in writing? No one likes a paper trail that isn't acknowledged.

(Reflection of feelings) that has to be a horrible feeling to be in such a hostile work environment. do you have coworkers who would be willing to back you up?
