The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"Just got back from deployment. Found out the girl that I was interested in does not like me anymore. I am trying to move on, but don't know where to go from here.". | sys : (Question) Hello there. What would you like to talk about?
usr : Hi, just broke up with my partner and I don't really know where to go from here
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you are feeling lonely and bereft? I am sorry to hear that. Can you give me more information?
usr : Basic story, got back to the United States from deployment.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Ah, so you were overseas and were conducting the relationship long distance?
usr : She kept me going while I was gone, but since I returned, she's been so cold to me
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Do you feel that is unfair of her to have done this whilst you were away serving your country?
usr : Kind of, I know that life moves on while people are away
usr : I just don't get it though, I return and this is what I get
sys : (Others) But she should have understood that you were doing your duty whilst also providing for the pair of you
sys : (Question) Do you think it is possible that she has been unfaithful, or is it something else?
usr : Possibly, but we weren't official boyfriend/girlfriend
sys : (Question) Ah I see. How committed did you feel to her?
usr : Maybe it was my indecision to ask her about our relationship
usr : Now that I think about it, it seemed more of 80% me, 20% her
sys : (Self-disclosure) I know, as a woman myself. that it is quite difficult when you are seeing someone but have no idea what their intentions are.
usr : Sure, I guess sex and cuddling is nice, but what I really want is someone to shopping with and eventually build a future
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you considered getting some sort of counselling, either just you or as a couple?
usr : It has peaked my interest, but at the same time, I wonder how much of this is just me buried in the idea of a relationship, even though it's pretty one-sided now
usr : Should I seek counseling for a relationship that technically wasn't official?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I am hearing you say that you still have feelings for her but you are not sure whether to totally break away or not, given that she has
usr : Yes. I hate how I love her, but I'm not getting the same energy back
sys : (Others) I can't tell you what to do but I think it might be best to go with your gut instinct.
usr : It will hurt, but it's definitely better just to move on, right?

usr : I know with covid it is important to be mindful of cost.
sys : (Question) How do you feel in yourself at the moment? Are you worried about your own health?
usr : I’m not worried about my health. More worried and sad about her. Especially not knowing how severe it is yet. It seems like any extra stress this year is harder to handle.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You are certainly not the only one who is feeling this - it has been a terrible year. Cancer is bad at any time but this year it is especially awful.

"My bop mentor was just diagnosed with cancer". | usr : Hello my boss and mentor was just diagnosed with cancer
sys : (Question) Hello there, I am really sorry to hear that. Can you give me any more details?
usr : It showed up in her eyes. Right now they aren’t sure what stage until she gets more details.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) You must be feeling very distressed about it right now. I am happy to talk about it.
usr : Yes. She is trying to be strong and only told about 4 people. I am trying to be strong for her but it is hard not seeing someone in person right now.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know that this is a very difficult time for everyone, given the current situation with Coronavirus. It can't make things any easier for her.
usr : No. It’s hard to have a good support system and I’m worried about her.
sys : (Question) Does she have anyone else around her who is supporting her?
usr : She has her husband but limited friends in there area. I want to make sure I am being there and providing correct support.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Do you feel that you are not offering as much support as you might?
usr : Correct.
usr : She lives in another state. I’m not sure how to properly support her.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I know how you feel. It can be very difficult to know what to say if someone is seriously ill. Sometimes it's better just to offer quiet support and tell people that you are there to listen if they need you.
usr : That is good advice. Have you been through something like that?
sys : (Self-disclosure) Yes I have. My sister in law was diagnosed with cervical cancer and I wanted to be supportive but I had no real idea what to say.
usr : How did you manage to support her. How did you make sure your mental health was also okay?
sys : (Information) I actually talked to a counsellor about it. I think that you should do that, it might help you a lot.
usr : I think that is good advice.
usr : Maybe even a cancer support group? I want to make sure I’m encouraging her.
sys : (Information) Counselling can be expensive but there are some charities out there that offer a few sessions for free
sys : (Others) Yes that is an excellent idea and you could both join the same group

sys : (Self-disclosure) *nods understandingly* Sometimes I feel that my boyfriend is the only person I feel totally comfortable with. I hate interacting with other people. That's why I do crowd work lol
usr : LOL yes. I feel like I'm anti social sometimes
