usr : I see. Sorry to hear that. I don't go out until it's absolutely necessary, only when I have errands or for work. And so for more than half a year, I have not gone out for any frivolous walks, to the movie theatre, for hikes, or to workout s I used to.
usr : yes and I feel that. I have pretty much been staying indoors all this time.
usr : I feel lonely and sleep at abnormal times, workout a lot less, eat a lot less healthy, etc.
usr : There's no coherent or healthy lifestyle pattern, as my life pretty much was put on hold from back in March.

usr : I see. I was okay for the last few months to be honest, and getting used to the routines. But it was just that for the last two to three weeks, my city started having a rise in the cases from a second wave.
usr : And that's when my anxiety came back and my guard is up again
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Hopefully you can see the light at the end of this tunnel. The second waves seem to be a trend, and we made it through the first one.
usr : yeah that's true and have been lucky so far as I don't know anyone personally that has been infected.
sys : (Others) That is a good thing!
usr : And have also been lucky that certain things didn't happen, like a massive shortage in supplies and food. There was for the first month or so, but stuff like that were eventually smoothed out. So I agree with you that in due time, things will resolve themselves. I sure can go for that vaccine now, that's for sure.
sys : (Information) I think you are doing the right thing. And it shouldn't be long before the vaccine is released.
usr : Yeah the highly publicized vaccine company is hopefully going to roll out its vaccine soon in the States.

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"the current pandemic". | usr : Hello
sys : (Question) Hello. How are you today?
usr : I am good, thanks for asking. I hope you're doing well also.
sys : (Others) I am. thank you!
usr : I am here to talk about the effects that the current pandemic has on my mental health.
usr : Specifically, I feel scared and anxious that me, my friends, or my loved ones will be infected
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) That is very understandable. I too have felt this anxiety.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) It is a very difficult situation, and can really bring out the worst in our mental health.
usr : I see. Sorry to hear that. I don't go out until it's absolutely necessary, only when I have errands or for work. And so for more than half a year, I have not gone out for any frivolous walks, to the movie theatre, for hikes, or to workout s I used to.
usr : yes and I feel that. I have pretty much been staying indoors all this time.
usr : I feel lonely and sleep at abnormal times, workout a lot less, eat a lot less healthy, etc.
usr : There's no coherent or healthy lifestyle pattern, as my life pretty much was put on hold from back in March.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Well, it sounds like you are doing pretty well given the circumstances. It is good that you have found activities to keep busy.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I understand the lack of structure. It can be difficult but also freeing.
usr : well I have, but a lot of the times I am just wasting time and procrastinating and kind of just staring off into space and not doing much at home.
usr : Yes thank you for pointing out the lack of structure, that was the word I was looking for.
usr : It was freeing at first, but then I realized that it was going to repeat perpetually and that I was going to miss the entire summer, etc.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) It can be a good time to try a project or new direction you haven't had time for until now. Or just try to think of what your possibilities are.
usr : and I felt somewhat claustrophobic etc. And also scared to go out and be in public because I get paranoid at who's infected, etc.
usr : yeah that's a good idea.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I have a good feeling that we will have some normalcy by summer 2021
usr : I wanted to take up writing more, but my online education got in the way and my goal became unrealized.
usr : yes hopefully you're right
usr : and how about you? How have you been coping so far?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I understand. As long as you are being cautious and following the guidelines, you are doing all you can to protect yourself. That is a good thing.
usr : yes I am trying to be as careful and not think to much as I can.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Just taking it one day at a time and focusing on the positives.

usr : yes, I get enough of those. Just should have more of a routine, as you said before. I just need to manage my time better at home and also find more time to work out and sleep at normal times, because I tend to sleep real late nowadays.
usr : yeah you're so right.
usr : That's exactly right, I kind of ignore myself and became zoned out or something.
| (Others) Sleeping patterns can vary. Some studies actually show that certain people are better off with an unpredictable routine. Just listen to your mind and body. |

sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Hey there, please do share! I would love to help!
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Why is your job causing you to have anxiety?
usr : Wonderful! My job is causing me some stress and anxiety. Everything is usually good except for my one coworker who tries to boss me around. She is very unhelpful and hypocritical
usr : You cannot even talk to her without her interrupting or being rude. I am trying to find a better way to deal with the situation

usr : I could try to have a conversation but in the past it has been difficult

sys : (Others) I am really sorry to hear that! Is it related to the pandemic or have you doing badly in your exams?
usr : i am currently in the appeals process but i havent left the house in a weeks
usr : yes my child was having suicidal thoughts so my attention went there
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Please try not to worry. Do you have someone to advocate for you in the appeals process?
usr : no its all on me
sys : (Information) I think you should look into getting an advocate. You have a legal entitlement to have representation.
usr : because of the holidays it will be kind of pointless
usr : they will probably see my cause a few days before the scheduled meeting
sys : (Self-disclosure) Ah I do understand. I have been frustrated when things grind to a halt at this time of year too. Can you ask for an extension on your appeal time?
usr : No extensions allowed
usr : but thank you for your suggestions
sys : (Providing Suggestions) That sounds very harsh, especially given the current situation. I suggest that you find out where you stand legally because I am sure that this can't be right
usr : Yes i believe so, i am currently looking into alternatives as far as future career goals
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I can tell you are feeling really hopeless and anxious right now. Do you have any fun plans for the season?
usr : i am feeling both honestly i do have plans but do not want to go
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think it would be a good idea to try to coax yourself into going. You will probably enjoy it when you get there :)
usr : i have been to a few trips visiting family i did not really enjoy myself i want to be alone
usr : that is my current problem
usr : i think i am depressed
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you considered speaking to your doctor? You might benefit from some medication or counselling.
usr : i am currently on medication i suffer from severe depression
sys : (Self-disclosure) I am sorry. I suffer from depression also and am on medication so I can understand your pain.
usr : Thank you
usr : its very hard
sys : (Others) Unfortunately the current global situation is not helping any of us. It is terrible to feel scared all the time.
usr : This is true
usr : thank you I feel a little better knowing im not the only one going through this
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Perhaps you could make a list of things that you mean to do in the New Year to give you something to focus on?
usr : thats a good idea actually
usr : I use to have a journal but havent wrote in it for years
usr : it helped a lot
sys : (Others) Make sure to only choose realistic goals so's not to make yourself feel despondent and do not be too hard on yourself if something does not work out!
sys : (Others) A journal is a fantastic idea. You can track your personal progress over a period of time.
usr : Thank you youre right i put too much on myself
sys : (Self-disclosure) Unfortunately, depression does mean that we can judge ourselves far too harshly. I have been guilty of that myself in the past.
usr : Yes it has bothered me for years and its like a weight on my shoulders
sys : (Others) I hope I have been able to be of some comfort to you and given you something to think about. Have a lovely Christmas!
usr : you too and thank you again
sys : (Others) Take care!
usr : You too Merry Christmas

"My manager has decided that everyone will continue to work from home nearly 100% of the time after the pandemic is under control.

I really love the work I do, but I've been experiencing depression this past year largely due to my lack of human contact throughout the work day.". | (Others) Hi, how are you?

usr : That is indeed a possibility. But my office is in a city that has a whole lot of high-tech companies, which were moving towards doing more work from home even BEFORE the pandemic. So it kind of feels like this might be a "cultural shift" in my area in general. Although there has GOT to be a whole lot of other people who feel like I do. Maybe we should start our own company, lol.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) True. I don't think you are alone. Is there something that you can do to make working at home better for you? More frequent breaks? Better work space?
usr : That's a good question. My state is still one of the ones that's mostly shut-down. Part of my depression surely stems from the fact that all evening/weekend activities ended a year ago as well.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) True. It might be easier to work at home when you have a chance to get out of the house during your free time.
usr : That's true. And your suggestion of improving my work space is a good one. I've been working in a modified walk-in closet. I've tried to make it inviting, but there are no windows/etc.... it's kind of a dark cave.
sys : (Information) Most people didn't plan for the long term because nobody thought that this was a sustainable way to work. By the way, if your company wants you to stay home, then it might help buy the equipment you need to be productive.
usr : That's a good thought. My computer is set-up on a folding card table. (I tried finding a desk a while back, but there was a huge shortage since everyone suddenly had to buy them for themselves, kids, etc.). I hadn't thought of asking my company to buy me one. Plus a more comfy chair could improve my attitude.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think if you talk to your co-workers, they'll have ideas for upgrading your workspace.
usr : That's a great idea. Maybe I should set-up a "virtual happy hour" where we can exchanged the tips/tricks we've learned to make working from home more enjoyable this past year.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think that's a great idea! People probably want to connect without having to talk about work. Later on, they might want to do the same thing but face-to-face. |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says
"My manager has decided that everyone will continue to work from home nearly 100% of the time after the pandemic is under control. (Prior to the pandemic, most of us only had one work-from-home day a week.) I really love the work I do, but I've been experiencing depression this past year largely due to my lack of human contact throughout the work day.". | sys : (Others) Hi, how are you? What would you like to talk about today?
usr : Hi - I'm sorry. I stepped away from the computer for a moment while waiting...
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's quite all right. The wait times can be a bit long. How are you?
usr : Well, my manager has decided that everyone in the office will continue to work from after the pandemic is under control. But I've found myself depressed from working from home all the time.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Working from home is not what people expected. Many have found themselves isolated. They miss the interaction of the office. How long have you bee working from home?
usr : For a full year--since March 2020, when the pandemic first started. I was working from home just 1 day per week prior to that, which I liked. But I've found that 5 days per week is much too much. I miss people. :(
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you and your co-workers talked to your boss about a hybrid schedule, maybe a couple days a week in the office? That might work.
usr : That's where it gets awkward. It seems like everyone besides me are super happy that we'll continue working from home. I hesitate to share my feelings because maybe my manager will change her mind, which would be a big bummer for everyone else on the team (seemingly).
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I see. That's a concern. So you feel that if one person goes in to the office, then everyone else will have to? There won't be any flexibility?
usr : Well, it's possible that my manager will say we can be flexible. But if so, I think I'd end up being the only one in my office working... which would be just as lonely as working from home while throwing away the few perks of working from home, like saving on gas. Plus, I think my company will probably want to repurpose our office space eventually.
usr : lol, sorry, that was an ugly run-on sentence. :\

| (Others) Sure! My pleasure. Best of luck with all that! Have a great weekend! |
