The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"constant fighting". | usr : hello
sys : (Others) Hello. How are you today?
usr : not very good.
sys : (Question) oh no. that isn't good. can you tell me what happened?
usr : my husband and i have been fighting alot recently over his infidelity
usr : its really taken a toll on me. we have tried several counselors but nothing seems to be working
sys : (Self-disclosure) I am sorry to hear that. I can understand how frustrating that can be. I have had my fair share of boyfriends cheat on me.
usr : weve been married for 14 years. I feel broken by this. we have 2 kids and my daughter, the eldest knows
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I am sure that you have been trying to do everything that you can do to help the situation. It sounds like you choosing counseling was a good start. It shows how much you care.
usr : yes but my husband doesnt want to fi things. hes happy with having 2 women
usr : ive had to buy a recorder and put it in his car. The things i heard were horrible.
usr : he found out though.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) It is rough for our children to see adult stuff like this. They might not be able to understand. I would suggest trying to set down and talk to them about it, when you are ready.
usr : I dont want my youngest to know. He loves his father and i dont want to destroy that
sys : (Reflection of feelings) How do you feel about your husband not wanting to fix things? Is that something that you are considering?
usr : i feel horrible. Im actually trying to fix things while he texts her every day
usr : i dont know whats gonna happen
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That is a very thoughtful thing for you to put your son first. He is lucky to have such a great mother, that obviously loves him.
usr : i do very much
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you tried to talk to your husband about your feelings and how you might not be willing to accept this?
usr : i do but every time i do he thinks that its that i dont trust him and that i hate him
usr : and i dont hate him or his lover. I just want things to go back they used to be.
usr : what should i do?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Have you thought about if you can trust him after that?
usr : im not sure if i can, but i dont want to live in constant paranoia of him
usr : im just so lost
sys : (Self-disclosure) I can understand where you are coming from. I have been in that situation myself and it is not an easy place to be. For me, it took some time to accept that I deserved better than someone who didn't just want me. Is that how you feel?
usr : kind of
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Understandably so. I believe that this is just temporary and you will be amazed at how strong you are.
usr : you think so?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) If you are leaning toward not accepting not being enough for him, then I would suggest an exit plan. Call a family member, or friend, to see if you can stay there awhile. Have a cooling off period from your husband and reassess the situation
usr : ok. ill consider that
usr : thank you so much
usr : this has been going on for half a year
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) I absolutely do. We normally find out that we are actually much stronger than we give ourselves credit for. |

usr : I've never done any computer based jobs before, I did live audio and carpentry before this, so I just feel like I don't qualify for anything, but I'm immune compromised so until this is over i don't know what other work I can safely do besides for something from my computer....
usr : I just feel so terribly stuck
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I'm sorry. I know the feeling of not knowing where I fit in. Its a whole world shift, too.
usr : I haven't received any financial assistance from the government yet, I've been living off of loans from friends and what little of my art I've been able to sell. It's stressful. I just want my life back.
usr : I felt like I was on a really good career path at the first of the year, and now I just don't even know what o do
sys : (Question) That scattered feeling....trying to put the pieces back together....I've walked the same road this year. Would you be willing to mourn for what you had before? To let it go?
usr : I don't want to. If there is a vaccine in the first quarter of 2021 then the company I worked for before this will be able to go back to business, and I've been assured my old job back.
usr : I'm just in limbo right now, figuring out how to survive until then and keep from going crazy
sys : (Question) you have determination! There is fire within! Tell me, what brings you joy?
usr : Music (that's why I was in the music industry before this haha) and art. I paint and do woodburning. I also love my cats, they spark a lot of joy.
usr : Thank you for chatting with me, and helping me earn the maximum bonus for this task! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! Good luck in your own endeavors.
sys : (Self-disclosure) but of course! it was a pleasure to connect. keep chasing joy daily!
usr : oh, I think you need a couple more inputs on your end to finish
sys : (Others) oh good, well i got inputs to put!
usr : Perhaps you could tell me what brings you joy?
sys : (Self-disclosure) YES! for one, this mturk task is AMAZING to me. Connection has been a huge boon for me this year. I thrive on helping others realize their strengths.
usr : I'm glad you're enjoying it, I like this task too.

usr : Well, I moved to a new state - feeling pretty alone.
sys : (Question) Do you not know anyone else there?
usr : No, not really. I inherited some money, because both of my parents died last year. So I bought a house I love, in a tiny town...
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Do you think it would benefit you to join some groups or societies where you would meet new people?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) If you feel a little out of your depth, that is perfectly normal at this stage!
usr : Yes, probably. But of course it's a weird time for that, with COVID...
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Yes of course. So you feel that you cannot meet new people due to the pandemic?
usr : Well, I didn't really do that much before COVID. But everything's changed in my life. I thought I could make a new start.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I understand that this is a bad time to be making a new start but please believe me, I think that things will get better
usr : I feel like I know what the right things to do are, but nothing sounds fun. I feel like I'm just trying to force myself to do the things I should want to do.
sys : (Information) It sounds to me like you might be suffering from depression. A lot of the population have this problem! Do you think that this might be the case?
usr : It's not that I thought money would buy me happiness, but it is strange that now that I could do almost anything, I really can't think of anything I want to do.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) That definitely sounds like depression to me. Can I suggest that you talk to your doctor?
usr : I definitely have depression. I can try taking meds again, I should probalby try counseling... I did start going to a doctor, at least
sys : (Reflection of feelings) So you have insight into your condition at least ... that is a very positive thing!
usr : I know it makes sense to try that, since it does help some people. But I just feel like, I know what they're going to say. I already know what I should do. I just don't do it.
sys : (Question) What is it that you feel that you should be doing? Please do not put too much pressure on yourself!
usr : It's like I'm just so lazy... I don't do anything. I could honestly just stay in bed and read and sleep all day and night.

sys : (Information) It sounds to me like you might be suffering from depression. A lot of the population have this problem! Do you think that this might be the case?
usr : It's not that I thought money would buy me happiness, but it is strange that now that I could do almost anything, I really can't think of anything I want to do.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) That definitely sounds like depression to me. Can I suggest that you talk to your doctor?
usr : I definitely have depression. I can try taking meds again, I should probalby try counseling... I did start going to a doctor, at least
sys : (Reflection of feelings) So you have insight into your condition at least ... that is a very positive thing!
usr : I know it makes sense to try that, since it does help some people. But I just feel like, I know what they're going to say. I already know what I should do. I just don't do it.
sys : (Question) What is it that you feel that you should be doing? Please do not put too much pressure on yourself!
usr : It's like I'm just so lazy... I don't do anything. I could honestly just stay in bed and read and sleep all day and night.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I understand how that feels. I often feel the same way myself, especially now (and at this time of year). Please do not feel bad about it.
usr : I'm not suicidal at all, but I would be totally fine with a big meteor taking us all out tomorrow. I feel like I gave it a shot, I'm sort of ready to be done. I find myself feeling jealous of very old people...
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have sometimes felt this way too. Do you have a pet? I have two cats and they do help to cheer me up when I feel especially bad
usr : If I could have traded places with one of my parents, I would have in a heartbeat. They loved life, and they were good at it.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) So you feel that you are bad at life? Please do not!
sys : (Others) I do need to go now but I hope that you can find some comfort in the future. I wish you all the best.
usr : Yes! I'm not even joking - I think cats are the best thing there is in life. The day after I bought my house was the first genuinely happy day I'd felt in a decade or more - and the next day my cat died unexpectedly. Ugh...
usr : Okay. Thanks for chatting. Hug your cats for me.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I am so sorry to hear that. I lost one of my cats earlier this year
sys : (Others) I will and thank you for talking too
usr : Yeah. It was rough, after losing both parents last year. Ughh...
usr : Take care. Bye.
sys : (Others) (I really did lose a cat earlier this year btw :( )
usr : I didn't doubt that for a moment. I'm really so sorry. I understand...
sys : (Others) Thank you for talking and all the best
