usr : Was it just time or was there something that you actually did
sys : (Self-disclosure) I thought about the good times and bad. I went over why it didn't work. I realized that it never would have. Then I carried that new knowledge to my next relationship
usr : Oh that is good advice
usr : did it work for you or would you suggest that I do something like this
usr : or something slightly different
sys : (Others) It was time and meeting new people/partners. I knew after the breakup more about myself and what I needed in a long term/life long partner
sys : (Question) Have you been dating other people?
usr : Yes since that time I have dated other people , and many of them have been great people
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) They have been great people? You need to learn/remember what you liked most about the partner that you are talking about, what you didn't like most, and find both a new partner.
usr : It still keeps lingering in the back of my head about my ex even though I have had other great partners
usr : Yes this is good advice thank you
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know you will find the rigt person.
usr : Thank you this is very kind and helpful advice, and it is helpful to know that it comes from experience
sys : (Self-disclosure) It took my 2 years after my last breakup to find my now wife! Just be patient and keep looking
usr : Please tell me if there are any other things that I should try that you have not mentioned as well?>
sys : (Others) Well, you could read a few books about relationships? Do some research
usr : Are there any particular books or authors that you would recommend
sys : (Others) Not really, I would just look online, and type in relationship books and look at reviews.
usr : That is good, I have a friend that only reads these types of books, I could ask him for some suggestions, I don't want to seem like I am being a burdun to him though
usr : He is a counselor and I am sure that he is frequently asked to help people when he just wants to be a normal friend
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) You think you will burden him? You are not a burden
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) We all have different gifts that my benefit our friends. That is part of being a good friend.
usr : I just don't want to ever feel like I am being a burden to people,
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You are not. Be confident in yourself

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"I broke up with someone I believe is my soulmate". | sys : (Question) Hi! How's it going today?
usr : Hello! I'm pretty good today, what about you?
sys : (Question) I'm doing really well, thanks. What brings you here today?
usr : I'm just having some old thoughts about a past relationship. IT's making me sad
sys : (Self-disclosure) I can appreciate that. Thinking about lost loves makes me sad too!
sys : (Question) What about this particular relationship makes you feel sad?
usr : Yeahhh I re read some old messages from a while back and just started thinking about it again. IT's going to sound quite dramatic, but I regret breaking up with this person. I feel as though they were my soulmate. And I ruined it
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Oh...I see, you think s/he's the "one who got away?"
sys : (Question) Why did you break up?
usr : Pretty much... but the dumb thing about that is I am the one who broke it off. I was with him since beginning of high school, and so I never knew anything other than him. But Earlier this year I was having second thoughts and thought we should try new things for a while. In the beginning, I was doing fine and he was having a really hard time. But now I miss him more than anything and he is now better off without me
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Wow...that does sound painful.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I know how hard it is to let go of a guy you really loved. I've had to break up with a few of them over the years!
usr : Yeah? Do you miss any of them? Or do you feel like it was right for you in the long run
sys : (Self-disclosure) In the long run, I feel that those break-ups were absolutely necessary. I'm in a really good place now. And they are too.
usr : Yeah that is good. That is everything that I'm hoping for. But it's not coming fast enough
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I eventually learned to think of it like this: every man I loved taught me something important about myself. ANd I taught them things about themselves. ANd it doesn't happen overnight. But eventually, you will probably be able to see how you grew as a result of the breakup.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe the things you will learn can help you be ready for Mr Right!
usr : I really appreciate that way of looking at it. Of course I will always cherish my memories and the things I learned from him. And I want to think of those things as happy experiences rather than sad memories
sys : (Others) That's a really good way of looking at it.
usr : How long did it typically take you to finalyl be over them and happy with what you ecperienced?
sys : (Others) Oohh.... I think it really depended on how long I was with them. ANd why I decided to end it. The longer relationships Maybe a few weeks to a few months before I was ready to move on and try again. BUt Only a fraction of that was crying with Ben & Jerry's!
usr : Hahaha yes. That really does help honestly !
sys : (Providing Suggestions) For me it just happened that one day, I thought about Gary and I didn't really feel that sad anymore. I just thought...wow, we had some good times.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) B&J's and a few good rom-coms ought to put you in a better mood! Lol
usr : Yeah I guess I am just waiting for that day when my thoughts are genuinely me just grateful for the times we shared but not missing them. And honestly, some days I do feel like that! And then it all comes back. I think I am getting there
| (Others) It really sounds like you are making progress! |

sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That must be really hard. I'm glad that you were able to make time for your friend who is going through a difficult time.
usr : thank ya. yeah it's important im there for him right now. he has to be nervous. they're going to open 4 or 5 valves.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It sounds like you are handling the situation well, given the stressful circumstance. What are some things you are doing to cope with this difficult situation?
usr : thank ya. nothing that much different. i told my sister about it. she seems understanding about it.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) It's wonderful that you have a support network that you trust and that you can talk with about this. I know that talking through things is really helpful for me too. Have you considered seeking professional help during this time?
usr : nope. i feel that i get enough support from family. it might've been an option if I didn't have a strong support system
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's fantastic. Having family around during a tough season like this must be such a blessing. It's great that you can be there for your friend, almost as if they were part of your family, too.
usr : yeah they feel like part of the family. i've known them since i was in college 20 years ago. we haven't always talked the whole time but....
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) 20 years is a long time! It takes a lot of commitment to your friendship to not only keep in touch for that long, but also make the time to support them emotionally when it matters most. You are a loyal friend, and your friend is lucky to have you around!
usr : thank ya. him and I are there for each other. We dated briefly at first but have been friends ever since. He said I was the one who got away. But he was the one who ended it lol
sys : (Question) It sounds like you and him have had quite the history, but your friendship has proven to remain strong through thick and thin (20 years!). I can't imagine how stressful it must be to be for him to be waiting for surgery, and I'm sure it means the world to him that you are by his side. How has your friendship been in the midst of everything these days?
usr : It's been good. We've been talking about Covid and the election too. I know I'd be nervous to go in for heart surgery.
sys : (Question) That's great to hear. Both COVID and the election have certainly been stressful. What are some ways that you have been able to support each other?
usr : just being there for each other as a listening ear
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It's so easy to feel alone these days. Sometimes being present is all you can do, but it's the absolute best thing that you can do. Keep going, you're doing great!
usr : thank ya! nity nite
| (Others) You're welcome! Thank you for being a wonderful friend, the world needs more people like you. Take care of yourself :) |
