usr : I am feeling a bit sad and down
sys : (Question) I am sorry to hear that. Do you want to tell me about it?
usr : I hate the way I look. Everytime I look in the mirror I cry
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I see. Can you be more specific? A lot of people are insecure about their looks you know.
usr : When I look in the mirror, I think Im the ugliest person in the world sometimes
sys : (Question) How old are you if you don't mind my asking? This is a common thing among young people.
usr : I am 32
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I see. Well can you tell me what specific part of your appearance do you hate? Maybe it could be altered?
usr : I hate everything when I see my reflection. I just feel fat and ugly
sys : (Self-disclosure) Well, I have been overweight and I know it sucks. Perhaps you could join a weight loss group?
usr : I have been working out and eating better. Even though I am losing weight, I still feel horrible
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Well you should be proud of the progress! Maybe buy yourself some new clothes?
usr : That is a good idea, maybe that will help
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Or have a new haircut or something :)
usr : I like that idea too, I will give it a try
sys : (Question) Is it just your weight that bothers you about your appearance?
usr : No, I just dont like looking at myself in the mirror. I just feel ugly and gross
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I have a feeling that other people do not feel that way about you :)
usr : That is kind of you to say, thank you
usr : You have helped me quite a bit today, I appreciate it
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think a lot of people do see themselves in a much worse light as others see them :) It's a human thing.
usr : Very true, thank you for the perspective
sys : (Question) So, what sort of clothes do you think you are going to buy? :)
usr : Possibly a new dress or two
sys : (Self-disclosure) Sounds like a great idea. I bought a fantastic maxi dress recently. Very flattering for those of us carrying an extra pound or two
usr : I love flowy dresses for that reason
usr : do you do anything else when you are feeling bad about yourself?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I like a nice facemask and a bubble bath, do you?
usr : I like doing my makeup and getting dressed up, even if I have nowhere to go
sys : (Providing Suggestions) That is a good thing to do .. great for the self esteem. Maybe buy some new jewellery too?
usr : I like the idea of pampering myself. That is something I don't do too often
usr : and I need to do it more. Perhaps I will feel better then
sys : (Providing Suggestions) You need to indulge yourself from time to time :) Get yourself a nice bottle of wine too. Though maybe not chocolate :D
usr : Haha, yes, perhaps not those :)
sys : (Others) Anyway I hope you are feeling a little better now ! Thank you for talking!
usr : Thank you, you too!

usr : I am more stressed and anxious than anything, and not really depression.
| (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Understood. You have a lot on your plate, especially with the "new normal". |

usr : I feel like so little time when in fact I had loads of time for the last few months.
usr : I just seem to think and do things slower and more distracted

usr : I spend tons of time at home nowadays. I try to surf the net and read up on stuff, and that takes a lot of my time, and kind of aimless, and what I would say is procrastination. I work out from time to time, but not as much as I used to before the pandemic.
| (Reflection of feelings) Sure, it sometimes feels like time is different right now. Like your typical life patterns just did a complete circle. |

usr : And it's worse because I live by myself so don't have someone here. But I do talk on the phone with my friend daily about things and that does help a lot.
usr : yeah like for me, I am not able to fly back to visit my folks this year, and this is the first time
usr : And I feel bad about it but nothing I can do
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's good that you have people to reach out to.

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"overall daily stresses". | usr : Hello I am here to talk about my overall daily stresses
sys : (Question) Hi! Tell me what's going on.
usr : yeah I guess different factors, just self isolation for months due to the pandemic, and nearing the end of my studies and experiencing that final last-minute crunch with studying and assignments.
usr : I am more stressed and anxious than anything, and not really depression.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Understood. You have a lot on your plate, especially with the "new normal".
usr : yes that's right. The plate issue is more to do with my studies now than the pandemic.
usr : Though the pandemic is adding to my anxiety and fear of the outside world
usr : especially when I have to go out everytime for errands and personal admin.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Are you doing online schooling? And yes, going anywhere can be a bit nerve-wracking
usr : yes I am. I preferred the old-school way. I've completed university before and it's much better to do things in-person. My online studies have been in place even before the pandemic.
usr : Just finishing up with courses and catching up with last minute stuff
usr : I feel like so little time when in fact I had loads of time for the last few months.
usr : I just seem to think and do things slower and more distracted
sys : (Self-disclosure) I understand; sometimes I have moments like that, too.
usr : like time is moving on so quickly and there's so little hours in the day but I feel that I don't do enough in a day with my school, kind of distracted or wasted time and then when I do something, I look at the time and am sometimes surprised at how much time had actually elapsed when it felt like I didn't do much.
sys : (Question) What kind of things are you doing for yourself? Do you have a place to or a thing to do to...decompress?
usr : I think this has to do with the pandemic at the start of the year and that changed my momentum and rhythm in life and coupled with social isolation, which puts a damper on my studying mentality, I think.
usr : I spend tons of time at home nowadays. I try to surf the net and read up on stuff, and that takes a lot of my time, and kind of aimless, and what I would say is procrastination. I work out from time to time, but not as much as I used to before the pandemic.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Sure, it sometimes feels like time is different right now. Like your typical life patterns just did a complete circle.
usr : I wanted to set aside hobbies and things to develop, like writing during the pandemic, and improve on that skill, but I never got to do that. And now so many months have gone by, and all that's on my mind and plate now are my studies, because it's like I do things slower and leave it till the last minute, even though I know I can pass, but just not as good a mark as I would have liked and not my usual work and study ethics from before.
usr : yeah not only a complete circle but to me, it's like an aimless road to nowhere, and it goes on and on and repeats day after day
usr : that's how it felt for the last few months
usr : and everyday is the same and at home, and only two months ago I started working in a new part-time position and that got some normalcy back and less stress and alleviated unpredictability with the economy for me.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Understood! I'm not in the exact same situation, but I feel you. There's the thought there would be so much to do things and...there's not. And you feel stuck a bit.
usr : stuck for sure. It still amazes me that it's november and not march, because it still feels like that.
usr : and nowhere as festive, fun, and alive as last november. It's a huge change
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Definitely a massive change!
usr : it feels nothing special, and not normal, and not even like a real november, you know? It's like even if it's christmas, I wouldn't ackowledge it's christmas even though it is, because of the changes and we can't do the things w e used to do.
usr : hopefully, scientists can study all these phenomena and our physiological, social, and mental responses to the pandemic. There will be so much that can be learned from all this, I feel.
sys : (Others) Of course. We can'r celebrate the way we used to, we might not be able to visit family. Oh yes, this is a learning opportunity about anxiety and isolation

sys : (Self-disclosure) To be honest, I feel the same way sometimes, too. It is nice to have someone to talk to about this. Have you talked to anyone else about this yet?
usr : I haven't really, I feel like other people have their own issues and I don't want to burden them. It's good that others feel the same. Do you have any advice on what makes you feel better?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Yes. I agree. For me personally, I noticed if I think back of a time before I lost my motivation, sometimes it helps me to reenergize a bit.
sys : (Question) What have motivated you in the past?
usr : Hmm, I'm finding it hard to remember a time I didn't feel like this! I feel like this has been going on forever! I used to enjoy walking, and generally getting things done around the house. I am also self employed and loved putting time into my business but I've been finding that hard recently.
usr : I've been watching a lot of Netflix and youtube and not doing much else.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have been spending a lot of time home by myself as well.

usr : I'll do that then, and see if there are any useful apps I can use on my phone so I can do workouts on the go. I know it will be hard to get myself into the habit of doing it but maybe if I stick at it I'll see rewards.
usr : Yeah I suppose I need to try more to not give in to all the negative thoughts.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I recommend finding a friend or partner to keep you accountable.

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"I'm unable to get up in the morning, and do not enjoy the things I used to enjoy.". | sys : (Question) Hi, how are you today?
usr : Hi there, I'm struggling to be honest.
sys : (Question) What are you struggling with?
usr : I've been finding it really hard to motivate myself to do anything for the last year or so, but it's been getting worse recently. Everything feels like hard work.
sys : (Self-disclosure) To be honest, I feel the same way sometimes, too. It is nice to have someone to talk to about this. Have you talked to anyone else about this yet?
usr : I haven't really, I feel like other people have their own issues and I don't want to burden them. It's good that others feel the same. Do you have any advice on what makes you feel better?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Yes. I agree. For me personally, I noticed if I think back of a time before I lost my motivation, sometimes it helps me to reenergize a bit.
sys : (Question) What have motivated you in the past?
usr : Hmm, I'm finding it hard to remember a time I didn't feel like this! I feel like this has been going on forever! I used to enjoy walking, and generally getting things done around the house. I am also self employed and loved putting time into my business but I've been finding that hard recently.
usr : I've been watching a lot of Netflix and youtube and not doing much else.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have been spending a lot of time home by myself as well.
usr : How do you cope with it? How do you not get bored and restless?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I noticed if I try to adhere to a schedule, even a very simple one, such as getting up at a certain time, making breakfast, and showering. My days tend to go better.
usr : I've been finding I have a lot of time alone with my thoughts recently.
usr : That's a good idea, I could try that. At the moment I get up at around 11am but U have been trying to get up earlier but I just can't make myself do it. I've also been sleeping during the day which is maybe not good.
sys : (Question) Have you tried reading? I find reading motivates me sometimes, too. Sometimes too much thinking alone leaves me digging a hole for myself.
usr : I used to get a lot of pleasure from reading and would always have a book on the go. Now reading feels like a chore, as if I am making myself do it.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I sometimes force myself to exercise when I get sleepy when I shouldn't be tired during the day.
usr : That's a good idea I could definitely try that.
usr : I suppose that is a little weather dependant though.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe try YouTubing? There are a lot of interesting channels that talks about science, technology, personal health, ... etc. That can be beneficial to you and worthwhile.
usr : I do watch a lot of youtube, but it's mainly true crime I am into. I always forget there is other content on there other than what is in my subscription box.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Certainly. I have a pullup bar and some weights at home. Even without those, sometimes I just do some bodyweight exercises, such as pushups, squats, ... etc.
usr : Home workouts would be good. Do you use an app, or just make up the moves yourself?
sys : (Information) Yes, the YouTube algorithm is not always the most helpful sometimes. You can try logging out to see if you see some other recommendations.
usr : I will do that after this chat, and see if I can find any home workout videos on there.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I used to be in the military, so I have a rough idea of what exercises I can perform and how much of it I can do each time. Looking up more information on it is a great idea.

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"Its really sad that with todays COVID crisis we are no longer able to enjoy daily normal life. We are not able to mingle and meet our family and friends. We are stuck in our homes during this unprecedented time.". | usr : Hey it is getting difficult day by day .
sys : (Question) Hi! I am sorry to heard that. I would be very glad to help if you could please tell me what bothers you
usr : We are unable to meet our friends and families especially during holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I can see why you are concerned. These are certainly difficult times and this pandemic doesn't seem to be stopping anytime now. I understand your frustation.
usr : There should be some other ways to get out of this situation. Its so boring life.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Many apps offer videocalls that you can use to chat with your loved ones though. Zoom is a great one, fore example!
usr : Yes that is one way to connect but meeting in person makes a difference.
sys : (Information) It surely does. You can always travel, just make sure that you are maintaining social distancing and your mask at all times. If you and your family members follow the protocols, it is very unlikely that any of you is exposed to the virus.
usr : Its too risky to travel. And with kids you it will be difficult. Besides you never know what will happen so don't want to take risk of travelling.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I understand. It's especially risky when kids are involved.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Hey, you need to remind yourself that things will not be this way forever. A vaccine will be developed soon, and things will be just like they used to!
usr : You can't just stay home all day as you cant go shopping to malls or watch a movie in theatre!! Its so frustrating.
usr : It feels like your life has come to a full stop.!!
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) When the pandemic first started, I felt like I was frozen in my life. Nothing was happening and any signs of progress had stopped. I can definetely relate. However, I found that exploring new hobbies and focusing on improving as a person were great ways to take good use of time.
usr : Absolutely there could be other ways where you can focus you mind into like gardening was my hobby which I had started again during this pandemic.
sys : (Information) That's great! I heard that some people are even deciding to grow their own food as much as possible. That greatly helps the environment and avoids pollution and global warming. Are you planning on applying that as part of your gardenning hobby?
usr : Not really but I like watching the flowers bloom and see how my vegetables were growing each day. I loved watching the birds and butterflies around beautiful blooms.
usr : That gave me a bit of positivity in life.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It's great that you are doing an activity that you enjoy. I can just imagine how beautiful of a scenery that creates.
usr : Yes of course and it helped me to teach my kids a bit about nature too. They seemed to be interested in gardening also.
sys : (Others) Teaching your kids is a great idea! Not many kids nowadays enjoy a lot of outdoor activities. Being in connection with nature is important to maintain a balance and increase our happinness overall.
usr : Yes that was the best way to connect with nature . They could just pluck out the fruits from plants and eat them right away which they had not done for quite long time. They surely had fun.
| (Reflection of feelings) Haha that does sound like fun. Just watch out for any insects on those fruits or any impurities! |

sys : (Others) That's great that they can offer that, I know it's very difficult to get regular care at the moment with the pandemic.
| (Question) Do you have any family or friends close by or something that you can talk to if you feel like you need some extra support? |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"Car accident led to traumatic brain injury and PTSD having nightmares 2x a week.". | usr : Hello there. In the past 3 years, I have gotten into 2 car accidents. Neither of them were my fault. I sustained a concussion/traumatic brain injury and am experiencing depression and PTSD.
usr : I have nightmares of crashing at least 2x a week. I am seeing a therapist, but due to the pandemic we are not meeting in person to do EDMR for my PTSD
sys : (Question) Hello, I'm so sorry to hear that. That sounds like an awful lot to go through in a few years time, which now can feel like the time passes so quickly.
usr : I have a traumatic brain injury that creates a lot of overstimulation in my life. I used to be social and now I can't be in a social setting for too long without feeling exhausted
sys : (Question) Have you tried to talk to your therapist through video chat or is that something they offer?
usr : Yes, I talk to my therapist every other week
sys : (Others) That's great that they can offer that, I know it's very difficult to get regular care at the moment with the pandemic.
sys : (Question) Do you have any family or friends close by or something that you can talk to if you feel like you need some extra support?
usr : I do not have supportive or understanding friends and family
usr : I have lost a lot of them in the last few years or have created boundaries because when I got into my first car accident, legit someone said "are you not better yet?" and another said "can't you just walk it off?"
usr : When I got into my second car accident, people said "again? are you drunk?"
usr : Even though neither were my fault, people were not understanding or asked how scary those situations for me were
| (Reflection of feelings) I am sorry to hear that, people are very quick to judge so it's very unfortunate that you were treated that way. |

usr : After my first car accident, the tow truck guy was towing my car to my aunt's garage to hold for auto insurance appraisal. He said to my aunt "sorry for your loss" My aunt said "oh, she's right over there and alive"
usr : the car accident was so bad the tow truck guy thought I had died
usr : but even after seeing my car, friends and family acted like it was just something that happens to everyone. walk it off
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) Wow, I can't imagine what the car must have looked like then for such a comment to be made. I'm glad that you here and despite going through that trauma that you are still going. |
