sys : (Question) Hello my name is Lisa, how are you today? usr : Hi, I'm Megan. I'm just looking for some help really, I've been feeling down for a while and it's affecting my sleep. I feel tired during the day but cant fall or stay asleep at night. sys : (Self-disclosure) Hi Megan, sorry to hear you are feeling down. And having trouble falling asleep is something I go through from time to time, I'll share some tips I have if you like. usr : That would be great, I'd appreciate some tips. Nice to know other people are in the same boat. sys : (Question) Just curious how long have you been feeling down? And did you sleep okay before that? usr : I think it's probably been around 6 months, but nothing that I can think triggered it. I have always had some problems with sleeping but it's never been this bad. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Okay so it sounds like your trouble sleeping has gotten worse since you started feeling low, and it's affecting your energy during the day then? Am I understanding you right? usr : That's exactly it, yes. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Here are some things I do....no coffee after noon... usr : Okay, I drink a lot of coffee so that's definitely something I'll try. sys : (Providing Suggestions) I exercise in the morning if I can, for me that's a walk, I always sleep better on days I walk.... usr : Okay sure, I work in a desk job so I reckon moving around and getting out could help. sys : (Self-disclosure) I LOVE coffee....had to wean myself back to maximum 3 cups in the morning though sys : (Question) Is your room quite dark? sys : (Providing Suggestions) I got light blocking curtains....seems to help usr : Yeah at the moment I'm on around 6 cups a day so I'll cut it to 5 for a while then go from there. My room is dark, I have black out blinds. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Okay sounds good :) I use this podcast that has this guy with such a relaxing voice, doing guided sleep meditations, it's called Tracks to Relax

### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says "Had addiction that lead to time in prison. Recently released but things are not falling in place. General anxiety disorder.".
usr : Hi. Is someone there? sys : (Others) YES, my name is Cheryl. How are ya today? usr : Doing ok. Trying to stay busy with a Youtube channel I just started. sys : (Question) Is there something specific on your mind or heart? Maybe regarding the start of the Youtube Channel? sys : (Question) By the way, what's your name? usr : Situation is as described above; have an addiction issue which led to prison time. Trying to get back on track. Youtube channel is to share things I learned about religion as I took a deep dive with the time I had. Sorry, not wanting to share name. usr : People told me I should become a minister or write a book. The Youtube channel is to share the insights. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Oh no problem regarding the name. I'm sure that you could be helpful to so many. And it must be difficult getting back on track into the wide open world. usr : America is unforgiving of mistakes initially. But we were a country founded on cast offs from other places. usr : Assume you are in the States, or no? sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) For sure! It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders! sys : (Others) I am in the US yes.
(Question) Do you have hopes of pursuing ministry at some point?

(Self-disclosure) Knowing that there is a higher power takes the focus off of "me." I think this offers a better way of living.

### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says "My neighbors are all mad at me, because I was the cause of a mutual friend being evicted from our complex. Her dog attacked my dog and another dog within a week. I reported the incident to apartment management and Animal Control. She was told to get rid of her dog or move. She elected to move, but continued to say that she "got kicked out because of me". I guess friends liked her more, because now I'm the "bad guy".".
(Others) Hello! How are you doing today?

(Self-disclosure) I have neighbors who act in similar ways. They act as though they run the entire street, but they rent just like everyone else does here. Dealing with them can be very difficult at times.

It would really make a difference to me to think that it was. sys : (Information) the 1918 spanish flu pandemic was followed by the roaring 1920's -- so i think if history repeats itself we will be good! sys : (Providing Suggestions) seriously though, the vaccine news is quite encouraging usr : Well yes but the twenties were followed by the Great Depression - I am not sure how encouraging that is :D usr : This is true - perhaps with the vaccine we can get back to normal sooner than later. sys : (Providing Suggestions) LOL hopefully people will stop being mask stubborn and the vaccines will get us back to a modified normal within the next year usr : I always wear a mask when I leave the house - it is the sensible thing to do! sys : (Information) you are absolutely right! i don't understand the resistance to mask wearing. it's baffling sys : (Others) i'm so glad you are staying safe usr : Quite! Do people really want to be infected? Does it hurt them so much to wear a mask and socially distance? I can get back to work sooner (and so can we all) if everyone adheres to recommendations. usr : You have helped me to see that there might be an end in sight to this - thank you very much. sys : (Providing Suggestions) we have a real wave of ignorance going on right now, total denial of reality and it's frustrating usr : Perhaps things will be better come January ... you never know :) sys : (Providing Suggestions) fingers crossed!! usr : On that note, thank you so much for cheering me up .. best wishes!

I am going to try my best to submit every assignment on time, even though the quality prolly won't be 100%. usr : I am a perfectionist by nature. usr : I am a bit moody and my roommates have noticed it.
(Affirmation and Reassurance) It's okto be moody given the circumstances and the stress you are going through, and I think that you should attemp to complete all the assignments even if you don't get a 100% on them.
