The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"daily stresses". | usr : Hello, I am here to talk about my daily stresses
sys : (Others) Hi there.
usr : Hi pleased to meet you and hope you're doing well
sys : (Self-disclosure) yes, Thank you. and i hope you are doing well as well
usr : yeah I am okay. Just daily stresses such as disrupted life routines from the pandemic and growing anxiety as my city is facing the beginning of the second wave.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) i surely understand you. this pandemic has been really stressful.
usr : yeah you bet
usr : for example, I only go out once or twice a week for my job, and once every two weeks for groceries. And that's it. But even then, when I have to be in close quarters with coworkers and even to go out for groceries, that scares me.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) yeah, people are not social distancing enough.
sys : (Self-disclosure) but wearing a mask and then using sanitizer should at least give us a bit of a confidence
usr : like it was only this tuesday when my city finally acknowledge there's community spread and second wave, when it has been happening slowly for the last two weeks!
usr : it's irresponsible and they share information slowly to the public and don't disclose enough information. And they are still not shutting down gyms or restaurants, when they are the main sources right now in my city.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) at least now i hope the city will put in more restrictions and mandate mask wearing.
usr : yeah I have been doing all that, with the washing of the hands and so forth. The situation at my job is unavoidable but I am still as careful as I try to cope.
usr : well, it's only today they brought the limit to social gatherings from 10 to 5.
sys : (Others) have you tried reaching out to mayor's office to see if there is any way you could request for more restrictions. most of the cities do have a hotline or a channel for residents to give suggestions or request something
usr : too slow and they don't believe in shutting down essential businesses when that will stop it once and for all after two or three weeks. They did that earlier this year for the first wave and that pretty much did the trick. And today they openly said that unless deemed necessary, they will only shut down selective places because restaurants need to stay open for business, etc.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) hmm, that's a bummer.
usr : yeah there's a local line but it's a pretty big city and it wouldn't really matter what I say
sys : (Others) okay
usr : but anyhow, I have been conferring with my friend pretty much daily on the phone and that does help with social support.
usr : But thanks for that advice, it's a good idea
sys : (Reflection of feelings) that's great. having a supportive friend/family is so much a blessing during this pandemic
usr : yes definitely, since I live alone and pretty much self isolated since March of this year.
usr : I have gotten used to it and more comfortable. Before I was more nervous, lonely, and claustrophobic. It is better now but my fear is coming back due to the rising cases.
sys : (Others) yeah, i can understand.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) do you have any hobbies or interests that you can work on to help you put your mind away for sometime?
usr : yeah thanks for listening. And this does impact my daily routines, from my workout patterns, sleep patterns, and diet.
usr : yeah somewhat
usr : but not productive energy. I tend to be lethargic, immobile at my computer for long times, surfing the net aimlessly when I should be studying, and just distracted.
sys : (Information) there are a good number of online forums for most of the hobbies/interests.. that'll help you share your work and also get some additional ideas
usr : and I sleep real late and wake up real late. It's all backwards and unhealthy and I am disappointed in myself. I also work out less because I can work out at home but I have done that less and less as somehow I don't feel motivated.
usr : okay yeah good idea.
usr : I can look for more videos too on such resources
usr : like I don't play any musical instruments but that would be great for a distraction like that or to pass time or to improve on a craft or project.
sys : (Information) putting away my phone has helped me a lot. also, i have designed a daily routine to include more of the tasks that i like
usr : Just pretty much my studies with two online courses and not even reading anything outside of school. And even then, my school work ethics suck and I am kind of disappointed at my lapses that way.
usr : ok yeah great ideas
| (Providing Suggestions) yeah, try to start learning a new musical instrument of your choice. maybe just 30-60 mins everyday. |

usr : Hi pleased to meet you and hope you're doing well
sys : (Self-disclosure) yes, Thank you. and i hope you are doing well as well
usr : yeah I am okay. Just daily stresses such as disrupted life routines from the pandemic and growing anxiety as my city is facing the beginning of the second wave.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) i surely understand you. this pandemic has been really stressful.
usr : yeah you bet
usr : for example, I only go out once or twice a week for my job, and once every two weeks for groceries. And that's it. But even then, when I have to be in close quarters with coworkers and even to go out for groceries, that scares me.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) yeah, people are not social distancing enough.
sys : (Self-disclosure) but wearing a mask and then using sanitizer should at least give us a bit of a confidence
usr : like it was only this tuesday when my city finally acknowledge there's community spread and second wave, when it has been happening slowly for the last two weeks!
usr : it's irresponsible and they share information slowly to the public and don't disclose enough information. And they are still not shutting down gyms or restaurants, when they are the main sources right now in my city.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) at least now i hope the city will put in more restrictions and mandate mask wearing.
usr : yeah I have been doing all that, with the washing of the hands and so forth. The situation at my job is unavoidable but I am still as careful as I try to cope.
usr : well, it's only today they brought the limit to social gatherings from 10 to 5.
sys : (Others) have you tried reaching out to mayor's office to see if there is any way you could request for more restrictions. most of the cities do have a hotline or a channel for residents to give suggestions or request something
usr : too slow and they don't believe in shutting down essential businesses when that will stop it once and for all after two or three weeks. They did that earlier this year for the first wave and that pretty much did the trick. And today they openly said that unless deemed necessary, they will only shut down selective places because restaurants need to stay open for business, etc.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) hmm, that's a bummer.
usr : yeah there's a local line but it's a pretty big city and it wouldn't really matter what I say
sys : (Others) okay
usr : but anyhow, I have been conferring with my friend pretty much daily on the phone and that does help with social support.
usr : But thanks for that advice, it's a good idea
sys : (Reflection of feelings) that's great. having a supportive friend/family is so much a blessing during this pandemic
usr : yes definitely, since I live alone and pretty much self isolated since March of this year.
usr : I have gotten used to it and more comfortable. Before I was more nervous, lonely, and claustrophobic. It is better now but my fear is coming back due to the rising cases.
sys : (Others) yeah, i can understand.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) do you have any hobbies or interests that you can work on to help you put your mind away for sometime?
usr : yeah thanks for listening. And this does impact my daily routines, from my workout patterns, sleep patterns, and diet.
usr : yeah somewhat
usr : but not productive energy. I tend to be lethargic, immobile at my computer for long times, surfing the net aimlessly when I should be studying, and just distracted.
sys : (Information) there are a good number of online forums for most of the hobbies/interests.. that'll help you share your work and also get some additional ideas
usr : and I sleep real late and wake up real late. It's all backwards and unhealthy and I am disappointed in myself. I also work out less because I can work out at home but I have done that less and less as somehow I don't feel motivated.
usr : okay yeah good idea.
usr : I can look for more videos too on such resources
usr : like I don't play any musical instruments but that would be great for a distraction like that or to pass time or to improve on a craft or project.
sys : (Information) putting away my phone has helped me a lot. also, i have designed a daily routine to include more of the tasks that i like
usr : Just pretty much my studies with two online courses and not even reading anything outside of school. And even then, my school work ethics suck and I am kind of disappointed at my lapses that way.
usr : ok yeah great ideas
sys : (Providing Suggestions) yeah, try to start learning a new musical instrument of your choice. maybe just 30-60 mins everyday.
usr : I have started to put away my phone
usr : as I realize that I use it a lot too
sys : (Others) nice
usr : So I put it at the opposite end of my room for example
usr : started doing that lately and so the screen time has reduced somewhat
usr : so just trying to channel my productive energy into finishing school deadlines
sys : (Self-disclosure) social media and then this relentless flow of covid news/info is also stressful
usr : yeah for sure, especially following up news from around the world and in the states
usr : just stressful loads of news just catching up to daily events
usr : and as for daily schedule, yes I have kind of more control on that too as I try to write down what I should do now and set an alarm to start doing this at this time etc, especially in juggling my school work.
usr : but yeah your ideas are great and match my thinking exactly
sys : (Self-disclosure) yepp. i read a book - 'atomic habits'. and kind of designed a daily routine. this helping me a lot and reducing stress as well.
usr : I see. okay I will keep doing that.
usr : I will search that book too, interesting title
sys : (Providing Suggestions) and also try and note down things that stress or upset you. and then over a period try to avoid those triggers.
usr : okay then. I am good to go on that note. Thanks for reaching out and listening. It's great that you understand and am providing great advice.
usr : ok
usr : kind of a reminder on what stresses me and to avoid that etc
usr : that's great
usr : like a debriefing
usr : you've given a lot of great suggestions actually. Thanks a lot for that
sys : (Providing Suggestions) yepp. and if you try to remove or avoid those triggers, it will really help
usr : you've been quite helpful
usr : for sure. I believe that also
usr : avoiding stressors and cope
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) sure no problem. hope you get through this and also be able to successfully complete your school courses |

usr : Yes. I tried to see if she would let me sleep with other women from the Internet, and she is not allowing it.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Well I must say that as a woman I would not allow it either ;)
usr : Yes I would agree with that. I guess I wanted my cake and be able to eat it too.
sys : (Question) It does sound like it. Are there any other problems in your marriage that might be making you unhappy or is it generally okay and you just want someone else too?
usr : I am trying to get my wife to spice up our love-making and she is unwilling to do so, and that makes me super sad.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you considered getting some sort of marriage guidance counselling? There are people out there who might be able to help you both
usr : Why would we need counseling to spice up a love life? That should come naturally, is it hard for women to make that change?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think it sounds as though you might be pushing her into things she is not ready for though. Have you considered that you might be the problem?
usr : That is what makes me sad, I know I am the problem. I am a piece of trash, she is way better than me. I hate myself.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) No, I do not think you should say that! At least you recognise that you are not behaving well, which is the first step on the road to making things better.
usr : Maybe I have a sex addiction. I think I watch too much pornography and it gives me weird ideas for sex.
sys : (Information) Perhaps you could consider individual counselling to overcome your own problems before you think of couples' therapy?
sys : (Others) Porn can be helpful for a relationship but it can also be damaging.
usr : Just for me? I hope I get a male counselor because if it was a female one, I would probably want to sleep with her.
sys : (Others) Well, perhaps it would be better for you to learn that you can't just do that even though you want to :)
usr : Yes, I can't control my impulses. I am picturing what you look like now and imagining what we would do together. I think I have a big problem.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I am forty five, fat and married :). I do recommend talking to someone though.
usr : I am forty one, fat and married. I actually prefer heavier ladies, but I get your point. :)
| (Others) I am glad you were able to confide a little in me and hope it is the first step on the road to a happier marriage. I do recommend not giving into your urges and remembering how much you love your wife. I wish you all the best for the future and have a lovely Christmas! |

| (Self-disclosure) Yeah, I get that, that's why it was so hard for me to quit. I hit it pretty hard for 13 years before I finally got sober! It's a tough thing to do when everyone else is drinking. It's just getting to that realization that you don't have the same relationship as alcohol as everyone else. Hopefully if you have a chat with him he can get to that point. |

"My best friend can be kind of a tool when he is drinking alcohol. I think that he forgets to chill out sometimes and says stuff that is upsetting and does not think it through when he is saying is. Recently this occurred when talking about politics. In general we have the same beliefs but he put it over the top.". | sys : (Question) Hello, how are you doing today?
usr : I am well
usr : You?
sys : (Others) Great, thank you. What can I help you with today?
usr : My buddy can be an asshole when he is drinking. I was just expressing his in the hit. I guess you are to help me with that situation? Not sure how you are supposed to do this but give it a shot.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you tried talking to him about his drinking? Is he otherwise a pretty good friend when he's sober?
usr : Yeah he is a good friend and it doesn't happen all that often but often enough. He knows that he has to cut down. He has talked about laying off the booze but once he starts, he is the kind that drinks to get drunk.
usr : How old are you and where are you from?
usr : male or female?
sys : (Self-disclosure) I'm a early 30s woman from Michigan, and I actually used to have a problem with my drinking as well. People kind of pushed the problem aside though because drinking is so socially acceptable.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) But maybe if you talk to him right after it's happened and offer to be a sober friend with him, it could help.
usr : I am not too far from you. In Minnesota. That is not bad advice and could probably help us both to cut back on the sauce a bit

sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you have been getting some assistance?
usr : So I did as instructed and got the message on the website thanking me for verification. The following week I got a physical letter saying I was approved and the award amount per week.
usr : I have gone online once a week and qualified, as one is supposed to do, and still I have not received a cent.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I see, so you are really financially struggling at the moment? Is there anywhere else you could apply for assistance? What about a foodbank?
usr : Calling the customer service line is futile. The computer just plays a recording that the agents are on other calls and then it disconnects the call.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I hear you there - I spent a long time on hold for an official matter the other day. I guess that everyone is really desperate for help and advice right now.
usr : I have been very fortunate. People in my church have been bringing me food. I plan on trying to go to the food bank Monday, if they are open.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I hope that they can help you. My partner and I have used one before and they were very helpful. I felt a bit ashamed but there was no judgement at all.
usr : I actually got so tired of redialing the Department of Labor and Training that I sent an email to the Lieutenant Governor of the state asking for his assistance in getting the matter resolved.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds like a very positive thing to have done. I really hope that they pay some attention to you. This situation is not your fault!
usr : I have been to this food bank once before, and they actually made me feel very comfortable and welcomed and gave me an information package on other ways the parent organization may be able to assist me.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Yes they are run by lovely people. Ours gave us a pamphlet for cheap and easy to make recipes too.
usr : I am very lucky in that the organization is only 3 miles from me. I will be looking into their rent assistance and employment assistance programs as well.

| (Information) That sounds very encouraging! It's amazing what you can make even with cheap food. Noodles , for instance, are very versatile :) |

usr : I am concerned that my boss may try to not take me back at my job. Because this is an "at will" state, he can terminate me without cause. Although he can not legally fire me for being ill with COVID, he can take me back and simply release me the same day saying that I have become redundant.
sys : (Question) That would be incredibly immoral of him. Do you feel that he is likely to do such a thing?
usr : I would not put it past him. Sadly. But I have taken the attitude that if it does occur, there is nothing I can do to change the situation. I would simply pursue a charge against him for wrongful termination, and seek a new job.
sys : (Others) That is a very rational way to look at things. I really hope that it does not come to thank though! Thank you for talking and I wish you all the best for the coming months.
usr : I may not win the suit, but I would definitely file one. In 2000, I had an employer fire me without cause. I sued and won that time. Not only did they have to pay me back wages for the 90 days that the investigation took place, which was no minor sum,
sys : (Others) I am glad that you'd not roll over and accept ill treatment! Well done :)
usr : they were found to be guilty, so the judge granted me my wages based on the average of 80 hour weeks I had been working, all my vacation time, plus the overtime I would have received, holiday pay, and then to put a nice bow on that gift, he awarded me 5000 dollars in damages because the old company lied and said I had broken the law.
sys : (Others) I am afraid I need to leave now but thank you for talking :) (can you press the quit button and take the survey?) Best wishes!
usr : My current employer actually knows this happened, because years ago we discussed it, and I showed him the award letter from the Department of Labor and Training, itemizing the judge's findings and the awards.
usr : Thank you for your time. Have a great holiday.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) You too! |

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says
"My boss recently left the company and I am not getting the information from her boss that I need. It is worrisome.". | usr : As my coworker and I start to fill her role, I am worried I am not getting all of the information that I need.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I'm sorry. I know how anxious I would feel if I thought I wasn't getting the necessary training to do a job well.
sys : (Question) Have you talked to your co-worker or your manager about your concerns?
usr : Not yet. They hadn't talked with us prior today. I am worried I do not have a lot of time and I do not want to seem overanxious.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I completely understand how you are feeling. I think that being proactive with management and letting them know your concerns in a positive way could emphasize that you take your job seriously and want to excel.
usr : Thanks. You don't think it seems needy? Or like I'm telling them what to do?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) New jobs and roles are always cause for anxiety. Just being concerned shows what a good employee you are. I think they are lucky to have you!
usr : Thanks, that means a lot. Should I email them my concerns or is this a face-to-face meeting?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Honestly, I from my own experience, which doesn't include management, I think it's all about the approach. As long as you are not negative and don't sound like you are complaining or telling them how to do their jobs you should be fine!
usr : Thank you. I will talk with them tomorrow, or if they call me today.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I would start with an email. This is just my opinion, but with how busy they must be getting people up to speed with training, an email is always a great place to start.
usr : Thanks. I don't want to seem passive aggresssive, and I care about how I am perceived so that is a good idea.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Have confidence in yourself as well! Chances are, others are struggling too.
usr : Thank you. I have tried to talk with others in the district to see how they are doing and most are ok.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Again, at the risk of being repetitive, it's all about the tone! I recently underwent group training. It was online since we are all working virtually. There were a couple of "whiners and know-it-alls" and you could tell from the start. You don't seem that way at all!
usr : Thank you. I try to be part of a larger team and I hope they can see that. I just want to do what is best for the organization.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Good luck! I'm certainly not an expert, but honestly wanting to perform your job well is a positive trait and the sign of a leader. Focus on yourself! You sound like someone that any good manager would want on their team.

sys : (Others) I wish you the best of luck with the rest of training! You are going to do great!
usr : Thank you. Anything else I should know?
| (Question) I think you are doing everything you need to do. Can I help you with any other questions or is there anything else you'd like to talk about? |
