The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says
"I just feel very alone at work lately. I don’t feel like anyone at work really likes me and no one ever really talks to me or invites me to hang out with them anymore.". | usr : Hi. I’m feeling really depressed lately
sys : (Question) I'm sorry to hear this. Is there something specifically bothering you?
usr : I just feel like no one I work with really likes me or cares about me
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) You don't think people like you or care about you at work? What specifically have they done to make you think this?
usr : I just feel like no one talks to me and if I try and talk to them they are very dismissive
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I can understand that might make you feel uncomfortable.
usr : I feel like I go out of my way to help people and I remember their birthdays and I try and be nice to them but no one ever does the same for me
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have been in many work situations and even social situations where I did not feel as if I fit in, I'm rather an unusual person. I had to learn to not focus so much on BEING accepted. I had to learn what God think of me (he loves me) and try to be kind to all I meet, other centered. That is, I also had to make sure I wasn't being rude or mean.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I can understand how hurtful that is. Our society isn't as kind as it once was. I find very few people appreciate kindness. However, I can't get caught up in that, it's the way people are. It isn't a reflection of myself.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I think it is the hardest thing to be more concerned with others than we are with ourselves, it can be lonely.
usr : I think from now on I’m just going to focus on myself and my family, I’m not gonna out of my way to be nice to my coworkers, I’m just going to treat them as coworkers not as friends and just keep to myself
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think you can be kind to them, but I think perhaps your expectations are that they reciprocate, and they aren't which hurts. Perhaps be kind without expecting anything in return, and know that God sees your kindness.
usr : I always feel like you have to be a friend to have friends, but I’m tired of being the only one putting effort in and getting taken advantage of
sys : (Self-disclosure) I also had this happen, I had no friends and at first I thought it was me, then I realized it was an opportunity for personal growth. Which wasn't easy.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) How do you feel they take advantage?
sys : (Others) Being ignored is one thing, having someone take advantage of you is a different story.
usr : I just feel like they just expect me to do things for them now and when I do it, it’s no appreciated because they just know I will do it.
| (Reflection of feelings) I understand. Yes, then they definitely are taking advantage. Have you read anything on setting boundaries and learning how to say no? |

usr : Yeah, I’m working on taking care of myself more than worrying about everyone else. I think the holidays make it even harder to set the boundaries
| (Providing Suggestions) I had learned once that it is so important to be able to easily say no because then we are free to say yes. Because if we say yes because we CAN'T say no, then we feel resentful. So If I can freely say no to you, then i am free to say yes, if that makes sense. Although for me, it was hard to say no, but it gets easier, now it is easy. It wasn't at first. |

usr : Thank you! You have been very helpful. I think that will be my goal! Start learning to say no and don’t feel guilty about it. I think I am going to lower my expectations from other people and just start treating people as they treat me!
| (Information) If I always say yes, because I can't say no, I feel obligated and resentful, when really, it's me with the problem, I had a hard time saying no because I didn't want to hurt people. Now, I do the right thing in my heart, if I want to help, I help, if I want to say no, I say no even if it is hard, I don't care if they get upset. I can say no, that's true freedom. |

sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think you can be kind to them, but I think perhaps your expectations are that they reciprocate, and they aren't which hurts. Perhaps be kind without expecting anything in return, and know that God sees your kindness.
usr : I always feel like you have to be a friend to have friends, but I’m tired of being the only one putting effort in and getting taken advantage of
sys : (Self-disclosure) I also had this happen, I had no friends and at first I thought it was me, then I realized it was an opportunity for personal growth. Which wasn't easy.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) How do you feel they take advantage?
sys : (Others) Being ignored is one thing, having someone take advantage of you is a different story.
usr : I just feel like they just expect me to do things for them now and when I do it, it’s no appreciated because they just know I will do it.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I understand. Yes, then they definitely are taking advantage. Have you read anything on setting boundaries and learning how to say no?
usr : Yeah, I’m working on taking care of myself more than worrying about everyone else. I think the holidays make it even harder to set the boundaries
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I had learned once that it is so important to be able to easily say no because then we are free to say yes. Because if we say yes because we CAN'T say no, then we feel resentful. So If I can freely say no to you, then i am free to say yes, if that makes sense. Although for me, it was hard to say no, but it gets easier, now it is easy. It wasn't at first.
usr : Thank you! You have been very helpful. I think that will be my goal! Start learning to say no and don’t feel guilty about it. I think I am going to lower my expectations from other people and just start treating people as they treat me!
sys : (Information) If I always say yes, because I can't say no, I feel obligated and resentful, when really, it's me with the problem, I had a hard time saying no because I didn't want to hurt people. Now, I do the right thing in my heart, if I want to help, I help, if I want to say no, I say no even if it is hard, I don't care if they get upset. I can say no, that's true freedom.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I don't advise treating people the way they treat you though. I would remain a kind person. Be the person you are no matter what type of person they are. You have to stand before God one day. If they are ugly, that's on them. But you want to be a kind person. That's the right thing, and you CAN be kind and say no. Those two are fine together! :D
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I suggest a book called "Bounderies" one of the authors is Townsend -- great book.
usr : I think I just need to learn a new approach to how I handle my dealings with other people.
sys : (Information) Might be on youtube too. Good stuff on how to say no and set boundaries! :D
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think you have identified your problem and looked at it and you seem intelligent and caring! I'm sure you will be able to figure this out. You seem like a nice person to me, and I just met you. You seem emotionally mature, able to discuss your problems and think about it in a mature way.
| (Others) A lot of people will just blame others and not change. We can't change others, we can only change ourselves. That's the hard part but recognizing we can change and must is so important! |

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says
"I just feel very alone at work lately. I don’t feel like anyone at work really likes me and no one ever really talks to me or invites me to hang out with them anymore.". | usr : Hi. I’m feeling really depressed lately
sys : (Question) I'm sorry to hear this. Is there something specifically bothering you?
usr : I just feel like no one I work with really likes me or cares about me
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) You don't think people like you or care about you at work? What specifically have they done to make you think this?
usr : I just feel like no one talks to me and if I try and talk to them they are very dismissive
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I can understand that might make you feel uncomfortable.
usr : I feel like I go out of my way to help people and I remember their birthdays and I try and be nice to them but no one ever does the same for me
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have been in many work situations and even social situations where I did not feel as if I fit in, I'm rather an unusual person. I had to learn to not focus so much on BEING accepted. I had to learn what God think of me (he loves me) and try to be kind to all I meet, other centered. That is, I also had to make sure I wasn't being rude or mean.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I can understand how hurtful that is. Our society isn't as kind as it once was. I find very few people appreciate kindness. However, I can't get caught up in that, it's the way people are. It isn't a reflection of myself.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I think it is the hardest thing to be more concerned with others than we are with ourselves, it can be lonely.

usr : We have been together for 5 years, but lately we have been distant. A few text here and there but I feel like we don't enough effort and it feels weird between us.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Five years is a long time, and to make a relationship work in the long term, you used the magic word..."effort."
sys : (Question) Do you live together?
usr : We live apart, I think thats the issue. She lives with her family and is closer to her school. Also due to covid and schedule, we are not able to meet in person. We tried virtual, but it takes time and its not really intimate.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It sounds like you are basically living in a long distance relationship, given the circumstances.
sys : (Information) It's very hard to make a relationship work when you can't see each other in person. It takes a lot of effort.
usr : I think thats the main issue, I'm trying to make it work and I think she is as well; but its hard. I'm not sure what to do. How to cope?
sys : (Question) Do you think she shares your frustration and concern, and if so, have you talked about it with her?
usr : We talked about it briefly, but havent spoke about in great detail. I'm just scared, that if we do, maybe we realize its not worth it and breakup.
sys : (Question) How much of this distance between you do you think is related to COVID measures?
usr : It is a major issue since we live in NY and NJ, they are strict about lockdown and closing everything. I think its mostly work schedules , we become to tired to video chat. I feel video chatting takes more effort than just being together naturally.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Video chatting definitely isn't the same, or natural. It does take more effort, certainly.
sys : (Question) How much did you see each other before COVID?
usr : A few times a week. Do you recommend anything? Just have the talk and accept whatever happens. I just dont want to keep on wondering.
sys : (Information) A lot of relationships right now are in "survival mode" due to the pandemic. The only way to make it through is with a lot of effort. This lockdown isn't going to last forever. You just have to make it through.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I would definitely suggest you talk to her and make sure you're on the same page, even if that's scary.
sys : (Information) If she knows you want to find a way to make things work, then she'll work harder, too.
usr : Yeah I understand, maybe I should put in more effort because I have less of the crazy schedule. Maybe send her things or send her messages. I feel that she is just working too hard, and maybe is tired and cant make the effort. i should be there and support her virtually if thats what it takes.
| (Providing Suggestions) I know you can just about anything delivered out there. I think a gesture of something tangible would be a good idea, whatever it might be. Maybe delivery of flowers and a pizza? |

usr : i don't know who his doctor is...i tried talking to his sister, she said the hospital can't help him unless he goes there, and he does not want to
sys : (Information) We definitely don't want him to hurt himself or someone else.
sys : (Information) We definitely don't want him to hurt himself or someone else.
usr : for sure
usr : i'm not sure how to help someone who doesn't want help, you know? so basically i am just stuck with all this worry, i care about him
sys : (Question) Has his sister seen this kind of replace before? And if so how did they address it then?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That is a really hard place to be. His doctors phone number is probably on his prescription bottle.
usr : she told me she doesn't want anything to do with him, apparently he goes off his meds a lot, and it has been super hard on the family...they can't handle it
usr : hey that's a good idea!
usr : I'd have to be sneaky....go visit him and hunt around....but I could try that
usr : its got me so worried it is affecting my sleep
sys : (Providing Suggestions) The doctor may not be able to get him in the office, but they would have his records and also be able to connect you to a facility to could maybe help him since the hospital can't
usr : hmm okay, i can try that
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I can imagine, I'm worried now too and I don't even know your friend. I really hope you keep me updated on how things go.
usr : i will try to! I think you're right though that the doctors office is the best place to call, thankyou for that suggestion
usr : its tricky....with human rights they don't just haul people to hospital any more against their will lol
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) You're so welcome. So it sounds like you'll call the doctor office (once you get the number) but please let me know if I can help any other way.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) lol, very true they do not. :)
usr : hmm i can't think of anything....but it really helps to get this off my chest and to have a plan of action, thank you
usr : its sad his family has given up on him
usr : but i guess everyone has their limits
| (Others) you're so welcome. glad I could help. |
