The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"I have dealt with depression around this time of the year since i was 17. I am now 37. My cousin got killed in a car accident on Dec 29th at the age of 14. Then 18 years later on Jan 3rd I lost my boyfriend in a car accident. I struggle around the holidays even worse now than I did before.". | sys : (Others) Hi there, how are you?
usr : I am doing ok. How are you?
sys : (Others) I'm doing well, thanks for asking. What are you seeking support for today?
usr : I have been struggling for motivation to do anything the past couple weeks. This is a really hard time of year for me. I lost my cousin in a car accident at the age of 14 in a car accident coming up on 20 years this year. We were very close. I was 17 at the time. Her was an alcoholic and my parents raised her a majority of her life. Then 3 years ago 5 days after her death anniversary I lost my boyfriend at the age of 32 in a car accident. I dread the holidays.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Thank you for sharing that. It sounds like you are describing a strong association between the holiday season and loss of loved ones. This leads to less of a desire to engage in typical holiday events. Does that sound right?
usr : You are exactly right. The year my cousin got killed her mom was hungover so I went and picked up my cousin and her little brother to take them to our grandparents house for Christmas dinner. She died 4 days later on Dec 29th. And my boyfriend it was his first day back to work after the New Year. He died on Jan 3rd.
usr : I usually go all out for the holidays to try to hide my depression every year. This year I just can't bring myself to enjoy them. I have even bought one christmas present.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I can see why this time of year is difficult for you. Trying to hide depression can be a challenge. Rather than hiding the sadness or grieving feelings, some people find relief in acknowledging and sharing these feelings with family members who may relate. Do you ever share these feelings with your cousin or grandparents that you mentioned?
usr : My cousin doesn't live around here and we have never been real close. He is alot younger than me. We just never had the connection like his sister and I did. And both my grandparents have passed away. Grandpa has been gone for 12 years and Grandma has been gone for 4 now.
usr : My family has always been really good about talking about our loses. Things just will never be the same.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I understand. When losses are experienced it is a great change in many aspects of our lives.
sys : (Question) Are there any aspects of the holidays that bring you joy? Maybe holiday music, movies, bright snow (if there is snow where you live), or seeing joy on someone's face when you give them a great gift?
usr : They say it gets easier. And I agree it does. Things just have changed so much. I miss how life was before I lost them.
sys : (Information) I understand - and it is normal to feel that way. When we lose someone who brought us happiness, it is only natural to miss them and their company.
usr : I love giving gifts. And I always put lots of thought into the gifts I give. My nieces and nephews can't wait every year to see what I got them.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's great! You must have a special talent for personalizing your gift selections. Perhaps focus on that reaction from you nieces and nephews to support your motivation for giving gifts this year.
usr : This year I am tie dying hooded sweatshirts. I make tshirts for a hobby. And to tell you the truth thats the only gifts I have gotten so far. My oldest daughter turned 18 this year and lives with her boyfriend so its just me and my 15 year old daughter. She struggles with depression/anxiety as well. Her dad has been in jail for some stupid actions since August. She has had to deal with him being an addict pretty much her whole life. I think we are both missing how the holidays were with her sister still living at home. Too much change in our lives in such a little time frame.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Wow, what a great gift idea! That is a solid start on your gifts for the season, and something to be proud of.
usr : They will love them. A couple years ago I put their names on fleece blankets when I worked at an embroidery shop. They absolutly loved them!
| (Question) And I see, it sounds like the changes in your life are potentially impacting your daughter as well. However, I'm glad you have each other for support this season. This year has been crazy for many reasons, and many people tend to find comfort in routines or traditions. Do you and your daughters have any holiday traditions you typically complete? |

They are young and as long as you truly do your best and sometimes that means taking care of you so you can be the best , you are only one person and the kids when older will appreciate all that you did . Keep the faith |

sys : (Question) I have a some time and would love to listen to you if you would like to share anything
sys : (Question) Are you there?
usr : Just feeling really bad lately. Like nothing I do is enough. Like I'm not a good mom to my kids. Like nothing I do is right.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I can understand how you feel like you are worthless. However, I know for a fact you are NOT worthless. You were created with a purpose and a plan and God doesn't make Mistakes.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I apologize I mean no disrespect just sharing my personal belief
usr : It's fine, no need to apologize
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you had any chance for ME Time where husband friend or family could watch your kids and give mommy a break. I Know I know its hard with Covid but lets pretend Covid isn't here
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe lock the door watch a tv movie show if you have tv in bedroom or send kids outside if old enough or take a bubble bath after they are in bed
sys : (Question) since Covid time . After Covid than you can go out with friends go see a movie you wanted to see maybe or go get your hair nail done.. What do you like to do just for fun
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) How long have you been feeling worthless or under appreciated
usr : My children's father is in jail right now and even if he wasn't, I wouldn't be comfortable leaving them with him for any period of time. They're five and one, so they don't go outside without me. I don't have too many people I can leave them with. Everyone I know works and is busy with their lives, I feel guilty asking them.
usr : For a long time, even before my ex left us
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Oh my ! I can fully understand how you feel protective of your children and guilty for asking others for help
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I can tell just from what you wrote you are a GREAT mom and doing amazing job.. You definitely have your hands full
sys : (Reflection of feelings) It sounds like because you have no help you have to do it all and you feel like you can't cope so to speak
usr : Yes, I do and thank you. It's so hard. I never thought I would be doing it by myself and sometimes I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing and that what I am doing is wrong.
sys : (Self-disclosure) but my goodness one mom to another you are only one person and give yourself some slack.. YOu are doing two peoples job.. Its not that you are worthless its just stress causing you to put yourself down
usr : Sometimes, I feel like I'm losing my mind
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It is so HARD being a single parent and Im sure kids miss their dad or maybe not but I am sure they put pressure on to be both parents . They are young and as long as you truly do your best and sometimes that means taking care of you so you can be the best , you are only one person and the kids when older will appreciate all that you did . Keep the faith
usr : They do ask about him sometimes and I tell them that he can't come and see us right now, but for the most part, I don't think they even notice. They definitely notice when he is around, and then they get upset when he leaves.
| (Reflection of feelings) Yes I can imagine it would be for all of you. It just confuses them and brings up feelings. |

usr : I'd like to think this will be over sooner than later, but it's hard to really think about it. I was a merchandiser for retail stores.
usr : I had been a stay at home parent before so our family was used to one income for a long time. It was nice to not always have to stress about money since I was working again. It seems the stress is a lot more now though because of everything going on in the country.
| (Providing Suggestions) Yes our country is in a lot of uncertainty right now. And having a second income always helps. Have you considered possibly finding a work from home job? Perhaps look at what skills you've developed, and update your resume to reflect the skills you have that will transfer over to a work from home job. |
