"Depressed due to a breakup". | usr : Hi
sys : (Question) Hi, how are you doing?
usr : I am doing alright. How are you?
sys : (Others) I'm doing ok, thanks for asking.
sys : (Question) Is there anything that's bothering you?
usr : Yes, I broke up with my partner...
sys : (Others) Oh no I'm sorry to hear that.
sys : (Question) do you want to talk about what happened?
usr : I am very depressed... cannot go on with my daily life.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) It sounds like this is really affecting you, that must be hard
sys : (Question) How long were you and your partner together?
usr : Yes, it is hard.. we have been together for last 6 months..
sys : (Self-disclosure) I've been through break ups as well where things can seem pointless afterwards. It took me some time but I eventually got through it
sys : (Question) Were you happy in the relationship?
usr : How did you cope up with the situation?
sys : (Self-disclosure) I talked to my friends about it a lot, and tried to keep myself occupied with lots of activities
sys : (Self-disclosure) I also deleted old messages from my partner so I didn't dwell on the past as much
usr : How does talking to friends help?
sys : (Self-disclosure) It depends on the situation, but for me I had a lot of unresolved feelings from not getting proper closure, so ranting to my friends about how my partner hurt me helped satisfy that
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Do you have friends you feel comfortable talking to about this?
usr : I have couple of close friends I can talk to.. but have not thought about doing so..
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think it could be helpful, friends can be really supportive
usr : Yes, I will give it a try...
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It's awesome that even though you're feeling so depressed, you're willing to give something a try to help you out of it
usr : Any other suggestion you might have?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Getting involved in a new hobby, or something you used to enjoy, can be helpful
usr : I don't have any hobby per say.. but I would like to travel new places..
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds like so much fun!
usr : I will plan for some travel..
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds like a great idea. I know it's hard now but I think you'll start feeling better soon
usr : Thanks for you suggestion.. have a good day.
| (Others) You too! |

| (Providing Suggestions) At this point, you will have to ask your family to make time to talk with you and im sure they will understand if they hear where you are coming from |

usr : I've always been closer to my mom so she is much more understanding. She helps me pay my monthly bills too.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) Yeah reach out to your mum, and although you fight and argue, they are still your family at the end of the day |

| (Providing Suggestions) If they are your pets you should be able to keep them but you did the right thing as to not argue with your brother and your parents could help you look after them |

sys : (Others) Have you tried to reach out to your friends for coffee, food or beer?
usr : No. I fear that I might get turned down. They are usually the ones that ask me out, and they haven't been doing that for weeks.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Perhaps you should give it a shot and see what happens. They maybe feeling the you are the one not reciprocating and this whole thing has just been a miscommunication
usr : You are saying that I have perhaps missinterpreted the whole situation?
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) perhaps. You said that you have not reached out to your friends, so they could just be waiting.
usr : But wouldn't them call me if they were at least slightly interested?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I understand your concern, but I would suggest that all relationships are a balancing act and perhaps cannot be one sided.
usr : You know what, yeah, perhaps I just need to put a little more from my part this one time.
usr : Do you think I should call my closest friend then?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I think that is a good start. If they are your closet friend you should be able to talk about this too them.
usr : Yeah, I feel really comfortable talking to her. I can be open about my concerns regarding other friends too.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) This sounds like a good friend. I hope this is just a miscommunication.
usr : Hopefully. I might have been overreacting after all.
