The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"I have naturally suffer from clinical depression". | sys : (Others) hello! How are you?
usr : So im struggling to figure things out in my life. I feel lost and im not sure if its just the depression or if its more.
usr : Im hanging in there. Thanks for asking. How are you?
sys : (Question) I'm good, but has anything happened for you to feel like this or are you in your feelings right now?
usr : Nothing specifically. My life is very good i just happen to always become depressed, unmotivated and sad most the time. It creates issues in all aspects from friendships to my relationship and even my personal and professional life.
usr : Im seeking mental health therapy as well as focusing on a number of other things ranging from sleep, diet, communication, social life and numerous things but happen to always feel the same way. Do you have any input?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think you are mental therapy is a good idea as I don't think your mind is as straight as it needs to be, it will be alright especially if your life is good
usr : It is a good idea and provides some insight on things that maybe i havent thought about before. Have you ever experienced depression thats lasted for long periods at a time?
sys : (Self-disclosure) Yh, when I was in college i did go through that stage as I couldn't find a job
usr : Ive found that exercise and diet helps greatly. But even then i still suffer. So your depression was situational?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It was kinda like yours in the sense that nothing triggered it but it worked out somehow so yours will as well :)
sys : (Providing Suggestions) If it is exercise and diet that helps you, go for it!
usr : Well in your case you mentioned it occurred because you couldnt find a job. Isnt that situational depression?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) No but I had another source of income so it only effected me a little. But i persevered through it so can you
usr : But in my case everything around me is better than the average but even so i still become depressed frequently and unmotivated. Ive tried medication and every type of treatment. I feel like there isnt much of a cure. Seems to be treatment resistant.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think you should start medication because perhaps your head isn't in the right place |

usr : yes i can not have that become the normal. I want to feel proud of their beviors they need to learn manners which i think is someting they really missed out on in public schools. the need to conform wouldve taught them manners without them even noticing.

usr : thanks i guess i make it sound ok, i am ok they are good kids at the core thewy kjust need to work on not freaking out
usr : yes it can i get loud too much and my mom always yelled i hated it and told myself I hated it growing up
sys : (Information) I have a co-worker who has kids with special needs, and she has this great phrase for working with her kids
usr : what is it
usr : i must know lol
usr : any and all advice taken here
sys : (Information) She says, "is this a small feeling or a big feeling?" and then, "Are you having a big reaction, or a small reaction?", and it really helps her kids self-soothe
usr : interesting is she implying having a big reaction to a small feeling is unnessacary?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) She's also taught them that if they're being mean to mom (taking something else out on her), they're allowed to say, "I'm sorry, I'm not acting or feeling my best right now, and I'm going to take a minute to myself." Do you think your kids might relate to that?
usr : thats wise i must sit with that for a bit and at least talk about their feelings more i bet if i help my kids to feel more validated they will feel heard better and maybe not yell
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Yea, exactly! Trying to teach her kids that it makes more sense for their reactions to be more proportionate to their feelings and to the importance of a situation. It's really helped her address tantrums and help her kids be more self-aware
usr : i would fall over if my kids said that to me, lol, that would be an improvement to say the least
usr : wow is she a therapist/
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Ahahahah. I believe in you!

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an Issues with Children. The seeker says
"my kids wont listen to me". | sys : (Question) Hi! How are you today?
usr : The struggle is real my kids act as if they dont hear me which causes me to become overwhelmed and loud then they dont wanna listen anymore. I am well today and you/
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) That sounds really hard! Does that mean things tend to escalate quickly in your home?
usr : I am loking for ways to communiate better specifically with my 5 year old son. well i always get yelling as a response which is what i cant seem to break as soon as my son gets mad he screams and calls for me no mater where i am or where he is
usr : I don't wanna yell i wanna get my points across. I also homeschool them all so i am mom teacher and bas guy
usr : bad guy
sys : (Self-disclosure) That sounds really challenging. I grew up in a home with a lot of yelling, and after a few years it just became our default for communicating with each other. I really regret that we didn't do anything to change the pattern sooner.
sys : (Question) What have you tried to break the pattern so far?
usr : yes i can not have that become the normal. I want to feel proud of their beviors they need to learn manners which i think is someting they really missed out on in public schools. the need to conform wouldve taught them manners without them even noticing. So far i try to keep myslef calm and communicate simply i still get screams back and i just try to make him ty again with a nice voice and tell him i am here to help if he can talk to me
usr : Do you have kids? what do you suggest? somedays I feel like I am in a mad house.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds like you're trying really hard to set a good example.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It also sounds like you think they may have learned that yelling is okay from their schools. Is that right?
usr : i am trying but i was not raised with the best habits so teaching myself and my kids to be good and consotant has been a challenge
usr : no i thnk they wouldve learned why not to yell at peopel if they went to public school
usr : they are homeschooled with me, my daigther went to preschool briefly but that was it
sys : (Self-disclosure) I understand that - I've spent a lot of time trying to teach myself to be better than the home I grew up in
usr : darn parents, lol
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Ahaha exactly!
sys : (Self-disclosure) I don't have kids of my own, but I've been trying to learn from my friends who do have kids
usr : i do hope they learn to be kind and strive to learn and be smart. games and devices have also become somewhat of the enemy, and savior somedays
usr : good plan, learn before you have your own, thats what my plan was, i was supposed to have life figured out before they got here
sys : (Information) One of my friends who has a really peaceful household maintains a high standard of speaking to her kids like adults and only engaging in conversation when they're speaking respectfully
usr : but ya know they have been the best teachers this far in my life
usr : good tips i will try to do that more and talk to them like adults
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I really like how she does that - only engaging in respectful conversation and not letting the yelling escalate
sys : (Information) I work with kids sometimes, too, and it seems like they all just want to be big kids and be treated that way, too

usr : Hello?
usr : Is anyone there?
sys : (Others) Hi there I am so sorry
sys : (Question) was a little distracted but I am here. How are you feeling?
usr : Yes, it's a weird story. I am feeling very sad about it.
usr : I think that the person just changed over time. We grew apart.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I am sorry to hear that. Do you want to tell me the story? I promise it won't be weird. I've been through a lot.
sys : (Question) Oh yeah? Was this a friend, partner, family member?
usr : My boyfriend just stopped communicating with me. It's like he lost interest in me and moved on.
usr : Breakups are the worse around the holidays. It was around Thanksgiving last year. Have you ever been through a breakup during the holidays?
sys : (Question) I am so sorry to hear that. Have you tried anything to address the situation? Perhaps bringing it up to him subtlly? Or even just asking how HE is, to see if he has siomething he wants to talk about.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Oh goodness, yes. I actually was ghosted by the woman I thought was my soulmate... on my birthday. It was... strategic of her.
usr : I tried to call, text, and email him but he never responded. I just accepted it as he just moved on, and I had to do the same.
usr : I am sorry to hear about your girlfriend. That must have been hard to experience your breakup on your birthday.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you haven't heard from him since the end of November?
usr : No, he just totally cut off all communication. I don't know whether or not he is safe or anything.
sys : (Question) Is there a family member or trusted friend you could reach out to? Has he logged into or posted on any of his social media accounts?
usr : We never went out on a date or anything. It was just strictly communicating my phone, text, and email. It was kind of weird, like he was hiding something. I don't know about any of his friends or family. He does not have any social media accounts.
sys : (Information) Is he close to you or is this a long distance type thing? Just for context's sake. No judgment of course.
usr : It was more of a long distance relationship. It is far to love from a distance though.
usr : It is hard to love from a distance-- sorry.
| (Reflection of feelings) Well, it can also be... easier to open up to someone and the relationships can be very intimate, even from a distance. So your feelings are valid, 100%. |
