"I recently lost my grandmother and today grief came out of nowhere for the first time in a few weeks. Feeling very down.". | sys : (Question) Hello there, how are you doing today?
usr : Hello, Not too bad considering but not feeling the best I've felt in awhile
usr : How are you?
sys : (Question) Im doing fine thanks, Whats going on for you to be feeling that way?
usr : For some reason today I have felt very down about the death of my grandmother, she died in September but something just made me feel the grief all day today and i have no idea what it is
sys : (Self-disclosure) First i am sorry for your loss, Grief affects all in different ways. My father died last year but i still feel him everyday.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) What i have done when feeling down, Is to try to remember a time we were happy together.
usr : Thank you, very sorry for yours. I do think of the good times and I had a lot of those with her but she was also the person who was there for me when I was sad. I was closest to her in my family
usr : Hard when I remember that I can
usr : Cannot call her
sys : (Information) Yeah i get that, something will happen with my kid and i think, man dad would love to hear that. What i take from that is happiness knowing that i had him there before, knowing that he was there for me.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Try to take comfort in the fact that she was your go to, She was there for you but she was also trying to make you a better person.
usr : I just want to be alone and have no place to do so. My roommate is having people over despite knowing the situation today. Just very frustrating.
usr : Absolutely! And she shaped my life in many ways
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Oh i can see how that is really frustrating, especially right now. Maybe reach out online to some groups, or if you really feel the need to talk on a deeper level, a local therapist?
usr : I can usually cope with the loss fairly well but something is just bothering me today. It is because I told her as well that I wanted to be alone. She could easily go to their homes too
usr : Sometimes just get stuck when you are in a situation you are not happy in and can't do much to get out of it yet, but at least it is not forever.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Well you seem to recognize that it wont last forever which is great. Everyone should know that sometimes its is ok to just be sad. Seems like you do, which is great!
usr : yeah absolutely! It is just a very bad day and will be over sooner than later
| (Providing Suggestions) Maybe you should treat yourself to something. Favorite dinner or dessert. Cozy up with a good book. Just try to lighten your spirits, or distract yourself. |

"Nowadays, I get anxious thinking about my job stability.". | usr : Hi. How are you doing today?
sys : (Others) I am doing pretty well. There's a beautiful sunset outside right now. How are you?
usr : Good to hear. Stressed and anxious nowadays due to this pandemic.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Yep. Me too. My dad just got sick and I was worried out of my mind waiting for his test results to come back. Thankfully they were negative.
sys : (Question) Is there anything else you've been worried about?
usr : Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it works out.
usr : Job stability is a concern of mine.
sys : (Question) Are you working right now?
usr : Yes, but my firm has already cut 10%. I feel like I would be next.
sys : (Question) Do you have a backup plan if you get laid off?
usr : Currently no. I am only a low level employee. This is what I am fearful of.
sys : (Question) I see. Do you have anyone who would be willing to offer you support if you needed it, like your parents?
usr : Yes, but it will probably be minimal. I fear the economy will be in a downturn due to this lock down in my city.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) It might be worth talking to them ahead of time. I'm sure they would understand.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Lots of people are in a similar situation right now.

"I feel invisible wherever I go. No one seems to notice me or wants to talk to me. I try to make conversation but nothing seems to work. I just get overlooked like I am not even there.". | sys : (Question) Hi there, how are you feeling at the moment?
usr : Okay for the most I guess.
sys : (Question) Is there anything you'd like to open up about today?
usr : I just wanted why people do not see to notice me or want to have a conversation with me.
usr : Typos, sorry.
sys : (Others) I am sorry to hear you feel that way - are you talking about anyone specific or just generally?
usr : Some of my own family members actually, I get cut off or not heard at all.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you feel that you are being treated as though you are invisible in a family setting?
usr : I share pics in an email or text and share things in person but no one seems that interested and yes I listen to them.
sys : (Question) That really sucks. Do you have many friends and contacts outside of the family setting?
usr : Not really, I never made friends too easily. Not seeing anyone in person because of the pandemic except a few family members.
sys : (Question) Yes the pandemic is making everyone feel a bit raw I think. Are you actually seeing your family in person regularly?
usr : I see them about two times a month, I am their ride as they have no car. Mostly it is my sibling, you can never please me, I know he is the one with the issue but just wish he would listen better and not make harsh comments.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Would you consider calling a family conference and telling them how you feel?
usr : Meant please him.
sys : (Others) It's okay I got it :)
sys : (Self-disclosure) To be honest I have some experience of being in this position and eventually I had to cut some family members off for my own mental health
usr : It would not help, he would never go for that. Sometimes we do have a rare good talk. Just frustrated because I saw him today and he once again made some comments.
sys : (Information) There are counsellors available that you could see one to one that might be able to help you be more assertive?
usr : Oh I am quite assertive but with family I do not want to cause any issues.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I understand. So this is not an overall issue, just a family one?
usr : Thanks anyway, you cannot change anyone but yourself. I will survive.
sys : (Others) I wish you all the best. I hope that things will pick up for you in the near future!
usr : In the past I was more invisble to others in general but that has improved as I will actually strike up a conversation. Just sometimes I feel unnoticed.
usr : Thank you.
sys : (Others) Thank you for talking!
usr : You too, take care.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) (you have to end it your end ... I can't :))
sys : (Providing Suggestions) you just have to press quit and then take the survey :)
| (Others) Please can you end the chat? Neither of us will be paid if you do not and it is physically impossible for me to! |

| (Information) Typically yes but having a low protein shake, ie one scoop not too, everyday is a great way to supplement your caloric intake with protein. You will find yourself less hungry and have more energy through the day. |

| (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Lots of people also struggle with depressive episodes and low motivation. Don't worry you are not alone. It is important to try and think is it depression related low motivation or vice versa. |

sys : (Providing Suggestions) Honestly my top favorite are chocolate covered almonds and sugar snap peas. have you tried lowering your carb and increasing your protein intake?
usr : No i hadn't thought about that don't you have to only drink protein if your work out.
sys : (Information) Typically yes but having a low protein shake, ie one scoop not too, everyday is a great way to supplement your caloric intake with protein. You will find yourself less hungry and have more energy through the day.
usr : That actually makes a lot of sense. What about motivation i really need help with that i find when i am less motivated i am deffinitely more depressed.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Lots of people also struggle with depressive episodes and low motivation. Don't worry you are not alone. It is important to try and think is it depression related low motivation or vice versa.
usr : thats true how can you tell. it is really hard for me right now.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's ok. Don't worry everything will be ok. Remember little steps forward are better and easier to achieve. even if it seems really bad right now just know it will always get better. |
