The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"I wish I had a girlfriend. I haven't seen any friends outside of my household since last October!". | sys : (Question) Hello. How are you? What would you like to talk about?
usr : Got any advice for a lonely single fellow in his mid thirties? I miss my friends, and virtual meetings on Zoom don't feel the same as meeting in person!
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) The pandemic has been hard on many people, those in relationships and those looking for new ones! Have you tried to develop a new hobby or interest that you can do with others once the pandemic is over?
usr : Well, I've been writing enough poetry to publish a book, so I'll certainly do that. I know the pandemic has been rough for everyone. Hopefully my doctor will say I qualify for the vaccine soon.
usr : Getting my stimulus check in the next week or so would certainly make me a bit happier, too.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's great! Poetry is something you can share in person or over video link. What about physical activities? I think that yoga might be something that you can do by yourself and with others. There are a bunch of videos on sites like YouTube.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) A stimulus check! Yes, we can all use money during these trying times.
usr : Oh, I took advantage of virtual yoga and zumba early on during the pandemic. Friends had virtual classes. Eventually they were able to go back to work. Being disabled is a poverty trap for a lot of people, not just me. I really want to find a girlfriend once I get vaccinated.
| (Self-disclosure) I have tried yoga myself, but it wasn't really my thing. I prefer walking and riding a bike. |

| (Affirmation and Reassurance) Marriage is a big step, and any prudent person would think carefully before making the commitment. |

usr : Or I could just get an adult entertainer to be my companion for a day. I've done that before with women in that industry. It costs a bit, but it's worth it for companionship
usr : No, I just hate the idea of waking up to one woman for 20 or 30 years
usr : But it's better than being alone
sys : (Information) Robin Williams talked about that situation.
sys : (Information) He said that he didn't fear being alone as much as being with people that he didn't like.
usr : Did he really? Well, it's sad how he ended up, I'm too scared to commit suicide like he did! I enjoy living life, even when I have months at a time without human connection
sys : (Question) Adult entertainers provide one kind of companionship, but it is not complete. It feels like a stopgap to me. Is it fulfilling enough for you?
usr : You're right, I just lack self confidence in my poetry....hopefully I'll figure out a way to spit it out on a blog or something
sys : (Providing Suggestions) You could trade poems with other budding poets. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"I wish I had a girlfriend. I haven't seen any friends outside of my household since last October!". | sys : (Question) Hello. How are you? What would you like to talk about?
usr : Got any advice for a lonely single fellow in his mid thirties? I miss my friends, and virtual meetings on Zoom don't feel the same as meeting in person!
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) The pandemic has been hard on many people, those in relationships and those looking for new ones! Have you tried to develop a new hobby or interest that you can do with others once the pandemic is over?
usr : Well, I've been writing enough poetry to publish a book, so I'll certainly do that. I know the pandemic has been rough for everyone. Hopefully my doctor will say I qualify for the vaccine soon.
usr : Getting my stimulus check in the next week or so would certainly make me a bit happier, too.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's great! Poetry is something you can share in person or over video link. What about physical activities? I think that yoga might be something that you can do by yourself and with others. There are a bunch of videos on sites like YouTube.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) A stimulus check! Yes, we can all use money during these trying times.
usr : Oh, I took advantage of virtual yoga and zumba early on during the pandemic. Friends had virtual classes. Eventually they were able to go back to work. Being disabled is a poverty trap for a lot of people, not just me. I really want to find a girlfriend once I get vaccinated.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have tried yoga myself, but it wasn't really my thing. I prefer walking and riding a bike.
sys : (Question) Do you have to wait until you get vaccinated to start working on getting a girlfriend?
usr : Well, certain things don't work for every person.
sys : (Self-disclosure) True. I like trying new things, but I am happy to give them up if they just don't fit my style.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Is there a way you could start looking for a girlfriend online now, before the pandemic is over?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe there is a way to make a connection using your poetry.
usr : Technically, no, I don't HAVE to wait to get vaccinated, but then again, maybe I don't want a girlfriend. The only one I had ten years ago in college wanted to marry me and have a child and I wasn't ready for commitment. I fear marriage, actually.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Marriage is a big step, and any prudent person would think carefully before making the commitment.
usr : That's a good point, I'm sure if my poetry is entertaining or full of truth about my experiences in a wheelchair, perhaps a woman will find that attractive

sys : (Question) Do you find yourself to be more an introvert or an extrovert?
usr : Oh it's been very fulfilling for me when I've had the opportunity to use it. Most of them are genuine women. Only a handful have tried to take advantage of me.
usr : I'm definitely an extrovert
usr : That was a clever pun by the way
usr : It's ironic and strange how many people struggle with that stupid voice in their head that tells them they're not good enough to accomplish anything.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) Thanks. Ok. The pandemic is particularly hard on extroverts. People look down on sex workers, but I think that the world is a big complex place and people are trying to make their way in it. If everyone is consenting, I see no problem. |

sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It’s really tough but I know you can do it. You are really focused on the right things.

usr : Yeah, I was in retail also aha worked in a convenience store with lots of foot traffic
sys : (Question) Did they offer you any type of leave due to COVID?
usr : No, I was relatively new after leaving the military and was looking for a job so no leave days available
usr : I really liked the employees and everyone was kind though. It's just the risk of exposure that made me stressed
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I understand, I can tell through typing with you that this has made you very anxious.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Did you get any contact information from the employees you worked with while you were there? Often it helps to keep in touch with previous co-workers, especially during a time like this.
usr : Yes, I do have the numbers of a few of them. I talked to them a little during the day but I mainly kept to myself as I planned my next few steps
usr : I was just ashamed for having left after they have been so helpful
usr : I pride myself in being loyal and supportive but it was just too much risk to myself and family
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I understand that completely, but I know you can make it through this!
usr : I appreciate it lol I didn't imagine myself getting help through a platform through this, but I appreciate the support.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you thought about looking for some work from home for the time being? There are a lot of companies who are offering remote work during this time.
sys : (Others) It was my pleasure!
usr : I know I'll get over it. It's just an unexpected change
usr : I am. I'm looking at a few options and retooling. I planned on starting university again in Fall 2021 to retool
sys : (Others) Yes it is!
usr : 2020 has been nothing but craziness lol

usr : Hi there. I'm seeking some support, maybe some advice in dealing with a situation at my work.
usr : I've got a new supervisor who is so different from my last one.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Sure, I see you need some support at work because your new supervisor is so different than your previous one
sys : (Question) What kinds of things are troubling to you?
usr : Yes. They have a Military background and bark orders, and change the way I'm working without being open to conversation.
usr : When I ask questions, they threaten my job. Telling me they "Don't have to explain themselves!" as they are my supervisor.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Wow, that sounds difficult with them being so militant. Have you been able to talk to any co-workers in a similar situation?
usr : Yes, there are two other people supervised by him. One of them is also Military and new him before hand, they seem to get along great.
usr : But my other co-worker is like me. Doesn't know what to do, or who to turn to.
usr : Sometimes the work environment is pretty hostile when we're just trying to continue projects that were started before he arrived.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds hard that it is so hostile at work when you trying so hard.
usr : Yea. But when he threatens and calls my insubordinate, I worry he might be making a case to remove me.
usr : I wonder if I should talk to the person above him, about it.
usr : But I worry they might just think I'm complaining because its different
usr : But it really is uncomfortable.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It sounds like you worry about having your job taken away from you. Talking to someone above your supervisor may be a good solution.
usr : Its been 3 months since he started, I just wonder if its too soon.
usr : I'd hate to be seen as a complainer.
usr : And the person above him, is the person who hired him.
sys : (Self-disclosure) When I was in a similar situation I had to go to a higher supervisor and was helped a lot. It probably is never too soon, but could be too late if you wait.
usr : Thats true. I'm not happy at work, but I do love my job. I enjoyed it a lot before him arrived. But now I'm constantly thinking about finding a new job, or worrying about him pushing me out. Maybe thats what he wants, so he can bring in his own people?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I see you really like your job. Sometimes just taking a deep breath can help to calm stress.
usr : Thats good advice. I do need to do more outside of work to relieve the stress.
usr : I'll try to do that. Do you think I can speak to him about his tone and maybe explain that communication is much more relaxed?
| (Others) Do you think he'll be receptive to your communications if you speak directly to him? |
