The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says
"I have not been able to find a job". | sys : (Others) Hi, how are you? What would you like to talk about today?
usr : Hi! I have been feeling really sad the last couple of months!
sys : (Question) I'm sorry to hear that! What do you think might be making you sad?
usr : I haven't been able to find a decent job in a long time! I have great credentials but i doesn't matter what I do I never get called back!
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you had someone take a look at your resume? Sometimes employers have their systems set up to cue on special terms and buzzwords. A resume consultant might be able to help with that.
usr : I did it one time but it did not made a difference! I kept getting rejected from every company! It's like there is no place for me
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) if you have the qualifications, I'm sure that there is a job out there for you. How big a geographical area are you searching in?
usr : I'm currently looking on the NYC area, because it's not an option to move out!
sys : (Information) NYC probably has lots of jobs but it's probably also a competitive place, with lots of skilled workers. What kind of job are you looking for?
usr : I'm an Anaesthesiologist and i have a fellow on Regional Anaesthesia and Acute Pain Management
sys : (Information) Is it harder to find work because of the pandemic? This is an unusual situation for health care. Things might change for the labor market in the next few months.
usr : Yes i know it has been difficult for everyone! I try to calm down and tell to myself that this are hard time for all of us and that i just have to keep going forward
sys : (Question) Ok, how is your life going outside of the work search?
usr : My wife and I have been arguing a lot, she's pregnant and that makes the whole situation more difficult
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's a challenging situation for anyone!
usr : Yes I know! We've been able to keep things going because i had some savings and she is currently working at home! But expenses keep summing up
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Is there temporary work that you might be able to do from home for the time being? It might not pay as well as medicine, but it could help with the bills.
usr : I haven't think about that option until now, I guess my mind was set on getting the job I've always dreamed of and didn't look at other options that might help my situation
sys : (Reflection of feelings) That's understandable. You've trained for a job and you want to get the job. I think that in the long term, you will be able to achieve that!
usr : I am! But for now I guess I will just focus on finding a job to help with the bill and keep trying as hard as I can to find a job on my field!
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's a great idea. I think that you can find something in the short-term. Companies are always looking for capable employees.
usr : You are completely right! You've been really helpful! I'm so glad i had this talk! I needed to vent and just have someone to listen to me!
| (Others) I'm glad that I was able to help you! Have a great weekend, and best of luck with the job search. |

sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) i agree with you it's a scary time...but things will get batter....the more people get vaccinnes, the better things will get for all of us
sys : (Question) are you still there?
usr : I am here. Just sad.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) so if I understand you correctly, being stuck at home for a whole year is making you feel very sad. Do you connect with people by telephone, zoom, online, email and so on? It's important to connect as often as you can with people you care about
usr : I do sometimes.
| (Providing Suggestions) do you have a back yard or a patio you can go out on, which might be less scary than going for a walk? Sometimes just the fresh air on my face is a relief |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"Not leaving the house is making me more and more depressed.". | sys : (Question) hi there my name is Lisa...how are you feeling today?
usr : Honestly, it's getting to me, COVID-19, not being able to leave my house safely, having a medical issue that puts me at higher risk.
sys : (Self-disclosure) i can totally relate to that, I am feeling the same way
sys : (Question) how long have you been feeling this way?
usr : I don't know what to do with myself. A year. I haven't left my house once.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) so it sounds like you are feeling cooped up and not knowing what to do, am i right?
usr : Yes, it's more than that.
sys : (Question) can you tell me more?
usr : I'm in this house, and scared. Nothing is getting better for me or anyone else I know.
sys : (Question) may I ask where you are located?
usr : In Mass.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) it's normal to feel scared. Of course it being normal doesn't make it any better...
sys : (Providing Suggestions) can you get out for walks?
usr : I live in such a populous area, I am afraid to. Especially with warmer temperatures coming.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) i see. are you saying your sidewalks are too busy to be able to social distance properly?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) i find getting out for walks is helpful. i live downtown in a small city. i wear a mask while I walk and veer onto the grass, into the bike lane or whatnot if someone comes...or I look ahead and cross the street if it's convenient...that makes me feel safer when i walk. i have a medical condition too.
usr : I just wish I could do that.
sys : (Question) what is it that is stopping you, are the sidewalks too crowded?
sys : (Self-disclosure) without my walks I'd go crazy...it's my daily stress reliever....i am at home 23 hours a day

sys : (Providing Suggestions) I do not know how long you have to go in school but if you have not done very much so far would you consider dropping out and perhaps training for a profession instead?
sys : (Information) Sometimes things can be more lucrative than just having a degree, if that makes sense
usr : lol, not that easy, I dont know what profession I would train for... also I have been in college since late 2017 so I am at the final stretch and have already put a bunch of money in, I totally see where ur coming from though, however no trades really jump out to me and interest me. Maybe i can do research but again I am pretty far into college
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Well I would say that if you've got as far as you have you might as well get the piece of paper. But the world is your oyster after that - you do not need to be tied to your field!
usr : I agree! I've always worried about money, Im hoping that it becomes a bit of a nonissue, not to get political but the whole capitalism thing is a huge downer lol, Imagine being able to live life without worrying about money, very nice, but then again financial freedom isnt everything.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Certainly I do not think there is any harm in the status quo being shaken up a little .. or indeed a lot!
usr : forreal, our system is really weird, we place value on these random things and then force people to fight for pieces of paper their whole life, its an interesting problem
usr : I find it more interesting how many people dont think about it too deeply, but they are probably happier that way
sys : (Others) I totally agree. I am not totally sure what the solution is but I am hoping that there is one

"Currently in college and 21, at this cross roads in my life and I just feel lost and unmotivated. I barely know who I am and the things I used to enjoy are a lot harder to get myself to do. I barely have any friends, and yea things just seem a lot less fun.". | sys : (Question) Hello there, how is your day going? Would you like to talk about anything?
usr : My day has been alright, finally got myself to go to the gym today after 4 weeks of not being motivated/ having the time so that's cool.
sys : (Others) Is there something specific that has caused you to lose motivation? I am happy to listen.
usr : It is hard to put a finger on it, it's just easy to get complacent for me. Especially when I am not seeing results... but i genuinely like going so I'm glad I forced myself to go.
sys : (Question) A lot of gyms have been closed due to the pandemic .. do you think that that knocked your schedule off kilter a bit?
usr : Not necessarily, i mean I have had access for awhile, but definitely when they were closed in my state for a period of time it sucked, this whole pandemic sucks lol
sys : (Self-disclosure) Yes it really does. I know that personally I am much less motivated to do anything at all than I was this time last year.
sys : (Question) Do you feel that there are other areas of your life that you are struggling with too?
usr : I mean in school not doing great, and not super happy with my social life
sys : (Question) Is there a specific problem with school or is it just 2020 fatigue?

usr : Well yes. that is correct. but the food looks sooooo good. how can you no eat?
sys : (Self-disclosure) Well, you won't be able to eat if you get fired ;) I can understand the temptation though - I used to work fast food and I would steal fries sometimes
sys : (Question) Do you ever have any sort of compulsion to steal other things or is it just food?
usr : see you do it too!!!!!
usr : just food. like fries
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think that everyone is sometimes tempted to do things that they know that they should not do so do not worry too much but you don't want to risk your job
usr : Ok. so are you saying you stopped stealing fries?
sys : (Others) Unfortunately I was fired. Though not for stealing fries. I was just a terrible cook.
usr : thanks for saying that. I makes you human. Though I do not know if I will be able to stop eating. how do I stop?
sys : (Others) Well, you could try to have a big meal before you go to work so you'd be less tempted?
usr : hey that's not a bad idea. Any others?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Hmm well do you have any friends at work you could confide in who might be able to stop you?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Just tell them to remind you that you might be fired if you keep going!
usr : that's a very good idea. but I could never confide to a co-worker. any other ideas?
usr : you are really helping
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Are you religious? You could make pledge to God that you would not steal from work anymore.
usr : religion has not effect on my judgements. I wish I had such faith. perhaps the world would be a safer and more peaceful world if god would punish those who tried to game the system
| (Others) Yes I agree. Well, what about talking to family members and promising them that you will stop? You do not want to leave your family penniless. |

usr : HE wont listen He knows everything and its HIs way or else
usr : He is very controlling
sys : (Reflection of feelings) if you want, you can talk to him one last time and let him know it's enough. I fhe doesn't change, you will cut off with him
sys : (Others) You have to stand up for you self first before expecting him to do that
