usr : Hello sys : (Others) Hello how are you doing? usr : I’m doing OK. I’m just a little anxious and nervous about my upcoming exams. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I am sure you are trying the hardest you can usr : I think I am. But these virtual classes are very difficult. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you tried looking for guidance from your peers? usr : It is much easier to lean on other students when we are in a class. But with virtual, it is much more difficult. sys : (Reflection of feelings) I understand how you are feeling. It is nice to have somebody to lean on during difficult times. usr : I just have to focus on my studies and not let what is going on impact my studies. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I believe in you and i think you will do great! usr : Do you have any advice on keeping me focused? sys : (Providing Suggestions) What is your exam on? usr : Economics and Business Law. sys : (Providing Suggestions) You should find a nice quiet spot to study. Maybe find something to feel you calm which will help you stay focused. usr : Good advice. I usually study in my bedroom, but that leads to distractions, such as TV and others wanting to talk.
(Others) Also make sure you are comfortable and have good lighting. That should help to.

(Self-disclosure) This is true I suppose. I made sure to have a conversation with her first in order to get some closure on the situation. After that I focused on more of my hobbies that I hadn't been able to do in a while in order to keep my mind distracted and off of the situation.

sys : (Others) Good evening. usr : Good evening, thanks for taking the time to talk with me. sys : (Question) No problem. How can I help you tonight? usr : I am having issues dealing with my feelings about ending my long term relationship with my children's father. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So just to make sure I understand, you are struggling with dealing with ending a long term relationship with your child's father. usr : Exactly right, after 15 years and 4 kids, he cheated on me and the affair produced a child. sys : (Self-disclosure) I am so sorry to hear that. My ex-fiance cheated on me and got pregnant with another man, so I know how rough this type of thing is. sys : (Question) Have you been able to talk to him about it yet? usr : At this point, I don't want to talk, I am so disgusted I want nothing more to do with him, regardless of the kids. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you talked to the kids about it? It will be important for them to understand what is going on and why. usr : The kids are pretty smart, they found out and was mad at first, but now they are accepting, which is making me even more disgusted. I have even started to resent my kids for it. sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think it would help to sit down and have a conversation with them about it. It is important that they know how you feel and that you are there for them, and that they aren't the reason for the issues. usr : I did at least sit down with the kids about it, told t hem how I felt, explained the nature of the situation. But they weren't on my side, they acted like they were on my side at first but then switched up on me, made me feel like I was the one wrong!?! sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you thought about seeking a group of people who have been through this same situation that you are going through now? It often helps to talk to people who have been through the same things and get their help to get through the situation. usr : Apparently that's you smh lol.. How did you feel? What did you do? sys : (Self-disclosure) This is true I suppose. I made sure to have a conversation with her first in order to get some closure on the situation. After that I focused on more of my hobbies that I hadn't been able to do in a while in order to keep my mind distracted and off of the situation. usr : I'm still not ready to have that conversation with him. He's acting like I made him cheat on me. Maybe I should find some hobbies to distract myself until I can myself to that point.
(Self-disclosure) I think that would definitely help!

(Information) It is understandable to want to keep photos. Distracting yourself might not be the solution; that could stop you from processing the emotions. There is a stage of grieving for a lost relationship that happens when a relationship ends. There will be grieving for the person, and for the relationship with that person. That is what has to be processed in order to move on.

(Reflection of feelings) Thank you ! I don’t believe it is necessary. There are materials out there and you can for sure learn on your own . For me, I like having someone to ask questions . And also having my lessons already planned out . I do well with deadlines and structure. If I had to do it on my own I would struggle more . But to each their own ! I do think it’s been beneficial for me

(Restatement or Paraphrasing) You seem very concerned about this. It seems quite unfair! How do you feel about helping the other engineer?

(Reflection of feelings) I understand how stressful this must feel to you. Sounds like you are a great experienced worker, but they want to use your expertise instead to train the inexperienced worker.

(Providing Suggestions) I understand that. I think you have a legitimate complaint. Maybe go to upper management and make it more like a concern than a complaint? If you word it right, they will believe that you really care about your job (I can tell that you really do). I am sure they don't want to lose you.

So many working from home and freelancing these days.
(Reflection of feelings) You are right. I feel your anxiety in this. Competition is high in all industries right now it seems.

(Affirmation and Reassurance) Advertising. Sounds like you have options. Hang tight for the next few months and see where the world is headed. Time are so uncertain right now, but hey, it can only get better from here.
### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anger regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says "I was pulled off of a project I had been on for 6 months. Last week I was transferred to a new team and all of the hard work I had put in for 6 months was given to another engineer to finish. The reason I was given was that my skills would be better used on this other team because they were behind on their project.".
sys : (Others) Hello, how are you today? usr : hey I am fine and you? sys : (Others) I am great. Is anything bothering you today? usr : I wrote about it. I was pulled off of an important project last week and I'm a bit mad about it. I spent 6 months on something that now I have to let go and start helping another engineering team at work. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) You seem very concerned about this. It seems quite unfair! How do you feel about helping the other engineer? usr : I don't mind the work. The manager we have is very biased against us older engineers. He thinks we want to constantly help out the younger guys he hired. THey are mostly unqualified and their work is sub par. usr : I'm 41 and the new guys are all about 24. sys : (Reflection of feelings) I understand how stressful this must feel to you. Sounds like you are a great experienced worker, but they want to use your expertise instead to train the inexperienced worker. usr : yes. I have been reluctant to complain to upper management. I have a couple of co-workers who have my level of experience. They have complained and supposedly one of them will be our manager soon. I have thought about looking for a new job. Covid protocol has kept me from making a move though. sys : (Providing Suggestions) I understand that. I think you have a legitimate complaint. Maybe go to upper management and make it more like a concern than a complaint? If you word it right, they will believe that you really care about your job (I can tell that you really do). I am sure they don't want to lose you. usr : Thing is in my industry, aerospace interiors, the competition is cut throat in engineering. I already have to work about 55 hours/week. I do mturk to pay my phone bill (sort of a bet with my wife lol). I'm wanting to maybe move into freelance work but the market is flooded because of covid. So many working from home and freelancing these days. sys : (Reflection of feelings) You are right. I feel your anxiety in this. Competition is high in all industries right now it seems. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe sign up with those employment sites online. Indeed, ZipRecuiter, etc...it can't hurt to see what other options are out there. usr : Not sure what is going to happen to my industry. The demand for new products is astounding. For example we have been working on cargo holds for aircraft that replaces seats and maintains social distancing protocols. usr : I actually got this job through zip recruiter. Well I was put in contact with a recruiter who listed the job. Started as a contract and went direct after a year. sys : (Self-disclosure) Wow that sounds super interesting. You have nothing to lose going to upper management though with your concern. I have been in management and when employees came to me with concerns and showed me how much they cared about their job to take the time to bring me their input. usr : I've been looking but the market is flooded. I might just retire earlier than anticipated. take on some freelance to supplement my income. Upper management at my company is a bit...shall we say...uninterested in boat rockers. sys : (Reflection of feelings) I understand that. Freelance does equal freedom. Research opportunities. You sound like a smart man. usr : Boeing is a place I'd love to finish our my career with but I went through a 2 year hiring process with them a few years ago. Once I was offered the position I had to decline because the move to Washington was not feasible at the time because of family issues. oh well. sys : (Reflection of feelings) How does moving to WA. seem at this time?

Hang tight for the next few months and see where the world is headed. Time are so uncertain right now, but hey, it can only get better from here. usr : advertising and marketing are so competitive. Yes I think after the first of the year I'll make some changes. Thank you for your input. Have a nice day.
(Others) You too, Happy Holidays. More importantly, Happy New Year!
