usr : Just life in general, I guess. I'm tired of covid. I'm tired of worrying about my mom and not going out and everything
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That makes total sense. Covid's been going on for so long, life is so different now.
sys : (Question) Do you want to talk about what's going on with your mom?
usr : She's high risk, so we have to be careful who we come in contact with. We try to limit time in public and all that. I order groceries for pickup at walmart so i dont have to go in, and my schooling is all online so i dont have to go to class.
usr : She's been fighting cancer. She's in remission now, but her immune system is still compromised and we have to be even more careful than we usually would have to be
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think it's really great that you're doing all that for her! It must be extra hard to have to limit public interactions even more than most people.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) That sounds so stressful to have to be worried about her on top of everything else. I'm so sorry you're going through that.

| (Providing Suggestions) Is the job contingent on graduation? Maybe you could take one course while you do the job. Work full-time and study part-time. |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an academic pressure. The seeker says
"I keep failing my classes and cannot seem to catch up". | usr : Hi
usr : I cannot keep up with my classes and it is making me anxious
sys : (Question) Ok. That sounds like something that you should talk to someone about. How many classes are you taking at the moment?
usr : I am taking 4 classes and I am struggling with all of them
sys : (Providing Suggestions) That's tough. A full load of courses. Do you have to take all of them right now? Can you adjust your course load?
usr : I have to take them all right now to make sure that I graduate
sys : (Providing Suggestions) That's a challenging situation. Can you get help from the professor with the deadlines? Maybe you could look into getting a tutor.
usr : My professors are trying to help they are actually being really nice. I am just having issues balancing it all honestly. I feel like I can never catch up on anything its just a lot on my plate
usr : I think a tutor is actually a really good idea I might look into that
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Great! I think a tutor will give you some guidance on how to stay on top of your courses. Your situation is not unusual. Many students have difficulty trying to manage it all. Are you working a job as well?
usr : I am just
usr : I am also working right not
usr : sorry my keyboard it messing up lol
usr : I am working right now and its a part time job but it is still a lot for me
usr : I think getting my time management under control is also so smart to make sure I can balance everything with less anxiety
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Ok. No worries! Can you adjust your hours at your job? Do you need the money, or can you maybe take a short break from work until you catch up?
usr : So I do actually need the money. I just moved out on my own and I have a lot of bills that I use to not have when I was living with my parents. I might be able to cut back a couple hours a week but then I might have to give up some fun things I like to do

usr : I do have to have the degree to start the job thats the only part that isnt great. I would love to start at that company and go to school but they wont allow it.
| (Question) Do you have to get high grades in the courses, or just pass? |

sys : (Self-disclosure) I have definitely had work situations where my higher ups have over stepped their boundaries to the point of being intrusive.
usr : How did you handle it?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) One thing that worked well for me was speaking to members of the board.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Another thing that I found helpful was speaking with my friends and family about it.
usr : I feel like they would either blow me off or feel resentment for bringing it to their attention. Did you run into that?

usr : Long story short - at work, a new boss pulled all the leadership OUT of the jobs they were hired for (some more than 12 years ago - so they have lots of experience) and shuffled them all around to new jobs - all that is except the 5 oldest employees - they got moved into "non-positions". No longer supervising anyone, only doing grunt work, etc. It ticks me off and there's nothing I can do about it.
usr : I'm working on a *possible* action - RETIREMENT from this job. Only problem is - bad time to be doing that; pressure to keep my income up until my daughter graduates college, etc.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds frustrating, especially if you're one of the employees affected and when the new boss doesn't seem to know what he/she is doing with the reorganization. |

usr : She has a "plan", I guess, but it isn't being articulated that well, and these actions are demonstrating poor "people management" and seem to be both confusing lots of folks, and professionally insulting many others. Oh, and by the way, things are running WORSE than they were before, but it's being blamed on COVID
usr : Problem with the "retirement strategy" is that it means going out on a limb with no job with the holidays coming up, and with COVID with no end in sight. SO, just "muddling through" the days these days, hoping better times are ahead.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It sounds like you are not the only worker who is seriously questioning the changes being made.
usr : Oh, no. 1 person outright quit immediately. 1 other has retired already. 1 more I know is retiring by New Years. Others are more "stuck", as they just CAN'T afford to quit OR retire. So, yeah, us "old folk" are not "happy campers"
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Wow! From what you've said, it sounds like your coworkers feel much as you do about the changes.
usr : Yep. We are sort of our own "support group", but since we are all 100% teleworking these days, we don't "see" each other, though we try to touch base through phone calls at least once a week.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That must be tough, but it must help to at least commiserate through the phone calls and be able to relate to each other.
usr : Yep. Best I can hope for at this point. If I find another job to transition to, that would improve things. Until then, gotta just "keep on keeping on"
sys : (Self-disclosure) My former spouse works for a company that has moved him to departments he needed to retrain to work in, and he is considering looking for a different job, maybe after COVID is outta here.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) It sounds like you're determined to stay as positive as possible while considering other options, such as a new job. Doing something about it like this must feel a little better. |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about disgust regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"Removed from my job - apparently only because of my age - no longer doing meaningful work.". | sys : (Others) Hello, how are you doing today?
usr : Not too bad, really. Just kinda pissed.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Sorry to hear you're upset. Want to share why you're feeling that way?
usr : Sure, I guess "venting" is pretty much all I have that I can do at this point.
sys : (Question) Do you feel like you can't take any actions in the situation?
usr : Long story short - at work, a new boss pulled all the leadership OUT of the jobs they were hired for (some more than 12 years ago - so they have lots of experience) and shuffled them all around to new jobs - all that is except the 5 oldest employees - they got moved into "non-positions". No longer supervising anyone, only doing grunt work, etc. It ticks me off and there's nothing I can do about it.
usr : I'm working on a *possible* action - RETIREMENT from this job. Only problem is - bad time to be doing that; pressure to keep my income up until my daughter graduates college, etc.

usr : As good as it can. Thanks for your time and commiseration.
| (Self-disclosure) You're welcome! I also think that's wise to hold off on retirement until your daughter is through college. My oldest is ready for college and I don't feel ready to leave work, either. |
