### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says "I've been depressed for months but now I'm spending Christmas alone and it's the worst.".
sys : (Others) Hello! usr : Hi thanks for chatting with me today. I've been really down and could use someone to talk to. sys : (Question) Of course! What have been down about? usr : I always get sad around the holidays but this year has been so much worse because I'm spending the holidays alone. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I know being alone in the holidays can be rough. usr : All I have to do is think about how alone I am. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Do you have any friends or people you can set up an online zoom call with? usr : I tried that but no one that I know is tech savvy that can make Zoom work.
(Affirmation and Reassurance) Also I feel that as well. Especially now these days its a bit hard to not think about being alone.

If I had someone to spend time with I'm sure it would take my mind off of it but people aren't allowed to get together.
(Question) Oh how about just texting or having periodic phone calls with friends?
