The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"I want to break up with my partner who ive been married to for 6 years with a 5 year old child". | usr : Hey
sys : (Question) HI, can I help today?
usr : I have been married for 5 years but i am very unhappy and anxious. I want to break up with my partner but not sure how, this is increasing my anxiety
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I am sorry to hear that. I know it can be really stressful when you are considering a break up. How long have you thought about doing this?
usr : i've thought about this for the last year, things have been going downhill since. I think its starting to become noticible
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) That is a long time to think about something, so you have given it a lot of time and thought. Have you mentioned it to your partner?
usr : i tried to do it around 8 months ago but my partner convinced herself that it was because i was cheating on her. Her own insecurities put me under a lot of pressure to stay in the relationship to prove i wasn't having an affair
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Sharing your feelings is important so thank you for making the effort today. It is not fair to prove a negative and that can be taxing. It sounds like you are a very patient person.
usr : I try to be patient, but i feel like i am wasting my life when i could be happy on my own or potentially with someone else in the future
usr : Im anxious about my daughter and my relationship with her if we split up
sys : (Reflection of feelings) You have spent a great deal of time trying to make things right with your partner and you have used a great deal of effort to make it work. You are also a very loving parent who cares greatly.
usr : I know i need to be true to myself but its extremely difficult, i'm not sure how to start the process
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Yes, you are right. My parents split up later in life and I was happy to see my dad happy. I understand that isn't everyone story though. Do you have any close family members you can talk to about this? Or close friends?
usr : unfortunately i pushed all my friends away for the sake of the relationship, again the insecurities meant i couldn't have my own time and space. I know my family would be supportive, but there are a lot of financial issues with divorce which worries me
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Often times people turn to church or religion and support groups in order to connect with people from the same faith. Have you considered this avenue?
usr : Ive considered support groups, im a little embarrassed tho. I don't think religion would be much help to me
sys : (Information) I understand that you feel nervous about reaching out and thank you again for doing that here today. Sometimes close friends can be a good source of support. It can be hard repairing friendships though.
usr : Maybe i should reach out again?
sys : (Information) Yes, I would reach out to old friends who may be willing to give you insight into how they viewed things. Support groups can feel intimidating but are usually very welcoming and truly there to help people.
usr : i just hope my daughter is young enough to be able to adapt to her parents splitting up
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) Children are resilient and want their parents happy ultimately. You are a thoughtful person. Thank you for sharing your feelings today and being open to ideas and possible ways forward. |

sys : (Self-disclosure) ah I see. I have had problems and sometime negative interactions about Covid with some friends too. I think it's a very difficult time for everybody; we are all feeling the strain and might be more irritable than previously
| (Question) Can you see any way in which you can work around it and be friends again? |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says
"I have/had a friend who now lives on the opposite coast from me. After 15 years out of touch, we recently reconnected, and we chat by text, and met up a couple times. But now he's demanding an apology that I don't owe him.". | sys : (Question) Hi there, how is life treating you right now?
usr : Oh, not too bad, thanks. And you?
sys : (Question) I am okay but feeling a little down at the moment. Is there anything that you'd like to talk about?
usr : Sorry to hear you're down... I'm definitely tired of this pandemic! Trying to keep in touch with messages and phone calls can help...
usr : Except I guess not anymore with this one friend...
sys : (Question) Is there anything specific getting you down? How are things in your work and your personal relationships?
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Oh I am sorry to hear that .. you are having a problem with a close friend?
usr : Well, did you see the problem I originally wrote about?
sys : (Others) No I did not, can you tell me about it?
usr : Oh! You don't get to see the text of the problem? That's strange... I'll cut and paste it here: Oops - that's not allowed. Okay - let me input it again.
sys : (Others) Thank you, I would like to be able to help you but do not know what the problem is right now
usr : I have this friend who is now on the opposite coast. We were out of touch for 15 years, but recently reconnected. We've been texting. But now he's demanding an apology, and it's completely unreasonable...
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Ah I see .. you feel as though you friend is dragging up things from the past which are no longer relevant to your friendship?
usr : No, not at all. It's new stuff.
sys : (Question) Oh I am sorry, I misunderstood. Can you tell me a little about the situation?
usr : We've been texting about politics, among other things. And we completely agree on the subject - that's not the issue. But I put up with his sort of acerbic wit - I ignore little put-downs, because I know that's just him...
sys : (Question) What is it that he wants you to apologise for?
usr : But recently, he was talking as if he was having symptoms as a result of having had COVID previously. So I asked, Oh, you had a positive COVID test? I didn't say it like I was challenging him - I just hadn't heard this before.

sys : (Question) Can you see any way in which you can work around it and be friends again?
usr : Yes - he's always irritable! ha ha. So instead of answering, he launched into this thing about how COVID antibodies disappear, so the tests are pointless. I know there are some issues with the various tests. As it happens, I have a PhD in immunology, so I know a lot about this stuff...
usr : Yes - I want to be friends! It's not me...
| (Others) I think that the tests are very necessary! Also social distancing and mask wearing at this time. |

usr : I just feel worn out with everything I have to do.
usr : I don't know what else I can d to help my daughter.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I understand that you are feeling worn out and don't know what else you can do to help your child. Is there something specific going on or is it just life in general?
usr : My daughter struggles with school work and memory. She learns differently and needs lots of support. I have contacted the school a number of times over the years but never really had any support or acknowledgement from them. I guess it's just an accumulation of things.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) You have tried hard to help her and that is admirable. Don't beat yourself up and be proud of the things you have done for her. |

usr : I just keep reliving that moment in my head
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Lots of obsessive, intrusive thoughts?
usr : yes, they just keep popping up can't stop it
sys : (Self-disclosure) When I get stuck in that loop, I try to change up my entire physical situation -- take a shower or a soak, change up my music if I'm listening to it. Kind of force my brain to take in a change.
usr : I tried, I tried to keep myself busy, but boom my depressions hits me like a brick wall.
sys : (Question) Have you ever explored medication? I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder almost two years ago, and medication has made an enormous difference for me.
usr : no my doctor prescribed me meds but it's not working. I will try meditation see it works. any more ideas?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) You should definitely see if the doctor can adjust your meds, I have ended up on a completely different type of medication than the one I tried first. But I understand. I think you should try getting out of the house and enjoying fresh air and physical activity. It won't cure your depression but it may help your headspace and your point of view.
usr : hate taking meds. just keep reliving that moment. can't get it out of my head. it's killing
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you written it down? Like physically written it down? Sometimes when I have the obsessive thoughts, I'll do that and being able to see it "in real life" satisfies my brain.

sys : (Reflection of feelings) Do you meet up with your exes?
usr : i'm still friends with many of my exes, but he knows that and we all hang out together
usr : thats why it's weird that he lied
sys : (Others) He lied because he didn't want you to know the truth. Which is betrayal.
usr : also, when he gets home, how do i tell him how i found out.
usr : i mean, i literally got into his facebook without asking
usr : i just had this intuition that he was being suspicious
sys : (Others) It's a hot mess, is it not? Why did you feel you wanted to spy on him? Did you already mistrust him?
usr : well, it was weird that he got so dressed up to go hang out with friends
usr : it makes sense now that i know he went for a photoshoot
sys : (Self-disclosure) Ok, so this is a HUGE red flag to you. You can ignore it, or not. Women KNOW when a man is cheating, so you had that inside of you. And you went with your hunch and now you have found he is dishonest.
sys : (Question) Was the photoshoot to have pictures of him?
usr : yeah, she's a photographer
usr : she took all his headshots when he first moved to America, actually
usr : when they were together
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) I suppose it could be Christmas pictures of him for you? Or not. I personally feel honesty is the best policy, no matter what. I would come clean. I would tell him I sensed trouble and looked for it and found it. |

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"I found out my boyfriend went to see his ex and I don't know if I should break up with him or not.". | sys : (Question) Hi! How are you this evening?
usr : I'm very sad.
usr : I found out my boyfriend went to see his ex
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I'm sorry to hear you are sad. What's going on? Maybe I can encourage you?
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Ouch! So he wants to see his ex? Basically he is breaking up with you?
sys : (Question) How long did you date him?
usr : No, i hacked his facebook. He told me he was going to hang out with friends. but i found out he lied
usr : we have been together for 3 years
usr : he doesn't know that i know
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I'm so sorry to hear this. You must be full of all kinds of emotions now. What are your plans?
usr : i don't know yet tbh.
usr : i have never been cheated on before.
usr : we also live together so it's complicated
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I can understand your frustration. It happened to me before. And I've had girlfriends. They never change. They will apologize because they got caught, but they never really change.
usr : But, how do I know for sure if he did cheat?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It's going to be very painful for a while because you have been invested 3 years in this relationship. Do you have friends to talk to that can encourage and support you?
usr : The messages were about meeting up for a photoshoot at the brooklyn bridge.
usr : is that cheating because he lied

usr : he never said which friends he was going to see
usr : he also didnt offer to take me with him, though
usr : i always invite him when i hang out with my exes
| (Question) He could say that. And if he is lying, do you think he will begin to be honest? You will have to judge for yourself. If he is lying, he will continue to lie. And you will feel it inside of yourself. Is this the first time you felt this way? Or has this happened before? |

usr : no not really because I'm not supposed to mix with people outside of my household. I could potentially try and meet them virtually online or on a video call is this something you've had much experience with?
sys : (Self-disclosure) Oh very much so! Zoom and Facetime are my best friends right now. lol I think that's one of the reasons why I snapped out of my depression is because I started doing that more since we couldn't go out and do anything.
usr : Ok that's interesting so you have also suffered with depression in the past? exactly how did you get out of it yourself?
sys : (Self-disclosure) I downloaded Zoom around the end of May. The first two months were the worst. I had never heard of Zoom until a friend said we should have a virtual party so he organized it and there were 11 on the call. It was so much fun despite the fact.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe organizing a "zoom party" would start to lift your spirits.
usr : that's a really good suggestion. I could also catch up with friends that haven't seen for a while. I think this would definitely work to boost my mood. The only problem is being depressed isn't something that I'm familiar with. what if it goes a little bit deeper than this?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Depression sucks I have to say! Just don't let it win. Since you say it's something you have never dealt with, you can fight it by staying upbeat and do something fun.
usr : Sure, or something conversations like this help perhaps a support group would be a good idea also?
sys : (Self-disclosure) Start off by not being hard on yourself for feeling the way you do. Music, tv and books does it for me - and zoom
sys : (Question) Most definitely. Do you have Meetup over there?
usr : I've never heard of this, what is it?
sys : (Self-disclosure) It's an app on mobile devices where you can (when there's no pandemic) meet up with folks who share common interests as yourself. Nowadays instead of meeting in person, they are doing virtual meetups. I do it with a book club.
usr : I think something to take my mind off the current situation would be really good. I like the idea of a virtual book club. is it free?

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"Coronavirus restrictions are getting me down and I've suffered from low motivation and can't seem to get positive about anything any more.". | usr : Hi there
sys : (Question) Hello. How's it going?
usr : I've not been doing great to be honest. I'm finding it hard to stay positive with all these constant lockdowns and restrictions
sys : (Question) I can agree. There are so many places going back to where we were several months ago. Which state do you live in?
usr : I'm actually from the UK. I live in the North of the country near Manchester and things are bad here right now.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I agree it's bad! Where I live in the US our numbers are going back up and the kids are being home schooled again. I just keep thinking this is temporary!
