sys : (Self-disclosure) That is very frustrating. I know I find it very annoying when I see people out and about without masks. It drives me crazy, just thinking about how they're keeping this stupid pandemic going and keeping people out of work.
usr : you got my point
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I wish I had more suggestions for you. I think the only thing you can do is keep looking, make sure your resume is updated and current. If there are any employment agencies in your area, they may be worth looking into. And if there are any public assistance programs you qualify for, there's no shame in seeking help when you need it.

"i was furloughed". | sys : (Others) Hello! How are you?
usr : not too good

sys : (Question) I'm doing okay. What's going on? What has you so down?
usr : i was furloughed
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! So many people have been furloughed this year.
sys : (Question) Do you think they will bring you back?
usr : i don't know for sure
sys : (Question) I'm sure that has you anxious and probably a little depressed. Are you looking for other employment opportunities yet?
usr : i am beyond depressed but luckily i found a place but the take-home can't cut it
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It's good that you were able to find another job, but I completely understand about the take home not being enough. Do you work full time, or is it just part time for now?
usr : its just part time and i am even scared of covid 19 exposure
usr : the take-home is just too small
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Oh, I understand being nervous about covid exposure, especially if you're working with the public, who may not abide by mask mandates and social distancing. Is there anything you can do to limit exposure?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Also, are you able to look for a second job at all? The extra hours may bring in extra income while you try to find a single job that would pay enough.
usr : it took me time to find this job, there is no work anywhere.

usr : Yes, I think I need to give a try but I lack the confidence to put my resume out in the market.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I like the "Do it afraid!" method. I can still try even if I feel nervous. You really do not need confidence to put your resume out there, you just need to do it afraid. And when I "do it afraid" I realize it was easier than I thought.
usr : "Do it afraid"? Do you mean do it even if I am afraid? It sounds a bit too optimistic to me.
| (Reflection of feelings) I used to be paralyzed with self confidence, but the truth is, your confidence doesn't come from your job, your confidence comes from being a lovable person. The confidence that you are the person you want to be. |

"I am fearful about changing a job during COVID but I am not happy at current job". | sys : (Question) Hello. How are you tonight?
usr : Hi, I am doing ok.
sys : (Question) That's good to hear. Can I encourage you in some way?
usr : I am afraid about changing my job during COVID but I am not happy at my current job.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you are unhappy at your job and want to do something else? What exactly are your fears?
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have found writing out a pro and con list helps me -- On one side I look at the benefits, then I put the cons on the other side. They I weigh them, even if there are more cons, sometimes the PROS are much better.
usr : I am a helpdesk associate for a large telecom company. I don't like the hours and the pay here but I am afraid if I can get a job outside in this time.

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about fear regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"I am fearful about changing a job during COVID but I am not happy at current job". | sys : (Question) Hello. How are you tonight?
usr : Hi, I am doing ok.
sys : (Question) That's good to hear. Can I encourage you in some way?
usr : I am afraid about changing my job during COVID but I am not happy at my current job.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you are unhappy at your job and want to do something else? What exactly are your fears?
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have found writing out a pro and con list helps me -- On one side I look at the benefits, then I put the cons on the other side. They I weigh them, even if there are more cons, sometimes the PROS are much better.
usr : I am a helpdesk associate for a large telecom company. I don't like the hours and the pay here but I am afraid if I can get a job outside in this time.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I can understand that looking for a job can be stressful and challenging at this time, but one thing is for certain, you will never know if you don't try.
usr : I have tried the Pros & Cons method. Pros are better pay and hours, cons are tougher interviews and more rounds
usr : Yes, I think I need to give a try but I lack the confidence to put my resume out in the market.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I like the "Do it afraid!" method. I can still try even if I feel nervous. You really do not need confidence to put your resume out there, you just need to do it afraid. And when I "do it afraid" I realize it was easier than I thought.
usr : "Do it afraid"? Do you mean do it even if I am afraid? It sounds a bit too optimistic to me.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I used to be paralyzed with self confidence, but the truth is, your confidence doesn't come from your job, your confidence comes from being a lovable person. The confidence that you are the person you want to be.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It sounds optimistic but it is the truth, when I step out to perform, I'm always nervous. BEING nervous looking for a job, that is NORMAL. To expect to feel like you are super confident is unrealistic. Most people are nervous, but they do it anyway.
usr : Ok, I think it makes sense. I may have to give it a try.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I always felt awkward and nervous looking for a job, I think I went to one interview calm and cool, in 30 years! Hahaha.
usr : I am a good team player, I don't have any inter-personal or communication issues. Just that I need to be at a higher pay to reach some financial goals
sys : (Others) You have nothing to lose, really, you have weighed out that there is only good things that can come, but you think you must "feel" a certain way. You don not have to feel confident, you just have to do the work. For example, you don't FEEL like walking your dog, changing a diaper or helping someone, but you DO IT anyway.
usr : Cool! I will try to get motivated and start applying. Your words are just what I needed in this gloomy atmosphere.
sys : (Others) Inter personal skills can be learned. I was very shy as a child and I learned how to be more friendly. And I was VERY shy.
usr : Ya, I think the key is to keep my current job and start looking elsewhere.
usr : Last time I made a grave mistake of quitting my job and then searching! I was very new, and over confident
sys : (Self-disclosure) I'm very outgoing now. I had to learn a lot of skills to be this way and I like myself more too. Hahah. I'm old though, 59. You have nothing to lose, consider it a learning opportunity.
sys : (Others) Life is a journey. We all make mistakes in the past. I think you are very intelligent actually because you thought of the pros and cons. You just needed a boost.
usr : Thank you sir, I will definitely try it! You have shared Pure words of wisdom
sys : (Self-disclosure) I'm a lady! I pray to God and read the Bible and get wisdom there. Plus I have been to the school of hard knocks! lol
sys : (Self-disclosure) I'm a lady! I pray to God and read the Bible and get wisdom there. Plus I have been to the school of hard knocks! lol
usr : Oh my apologies, mam!!
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I look forward to your new job! And celebrate with you. Take deep breaths and forge ahead!!
usr : Definitely! Thanks a lot for your mentorship
usr : Have a great week ahead :)
| (Others) You are welcome! Thank you for sharing your life with me! |

usr : I think I am an addict.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I hear you on that one too! It's horrible to feel that you are losing your self respect but I suspect that we've all done it at some point. Have you considered getting some counselling?
usr : Sigh.. yes. I have seen several. I also take meds from a psychiatrist.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I hear you saying that they are not really effective, is that true?
usr : Well... one told me that I should be put down like a dog to my face.
usr : so, yea
sys : (Others) Okay .. I hope you reported him!!
usr : I didn't. I was younger then. who knows. not gonna lie. maybe they're right. Sometimes I think I'm a psycho. My last therapist was always doing deep breathing exercises. It didn't help.
usr : I also have a lot of anxiety. A LOT!
usr : I even got an emotiona support dog
| (Question) I understand that as well .. I am on medication for it. A dog is a wonderful thing to have! Do you feel that it has helped you? |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"Everyone breaks up with me. They all think I'm weird, and I always screw myself.". | usr : Hi, I'm Anna
sys : (Question) Hi there, how is life treating you right now?
sys : (Self-disclosure) I am Jo, it is nice to meet you! Is there anything you'd like to talk about today?
usr : Going through a break-up. My 3rd one this year....
usr : Nice to meet you too
usr : It suckssssss
sys : (Self-disclosure) Gosh you've been busy :). I am sorry to hear that though - I know how much it hurts when you split with someone, especially if it was not consensual.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) It's a lousy time of year for it too, isn't it?
usr : I feel like a piece of crap, and childish at that. I can't maintain any of my relationships. I think I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That is a defeatist way to talk! Just because a couple of relationships fail does not mean that you will never be able to find happiness.
usr : Well, if past experience has any powers of prediction. I get super clingy, and do this push and pull thingy, where I break up and call them names, and then become so embarrassed it's hard to even bring it up. my last boyfriend said he thought i had borderline disorder
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have been in that position too. I hate it when I realise that I am not being rational but I can't seem to stop myself sometimes and this has sometimes let to problems with my inter personal relationships

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"I'm feeling so depressed lately. The holidays are coming and I just want to stay in bed under the covers.". | sys : (Question) hello how are you?
usr : I don't know how to get over this
usr : I'm just alright.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) You are having some trouble getting over something is that correct?
sys : (Question) Why are you feeling just alright?
usr : I'm feeling just alright because nothing excites me or gives me joy anymore. Many of my family have passed on and the holidays are coming.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I understand that it is hard to have some type of joy especially with the holidays coming along especially when family has passed on.
usr : This pandemic doesn't help either. No gatherings with many people.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I know it is hard, it also has taken a toll on me as well this pandemic is hard to go through, but I take it day by day. Maybe you should take to someone if there is anyone close to you?
usr : Only my Aunt, but I haven't talked to her in a long time. I just figure she's busy.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) maybe you should try to call her sometime im sure she would like that
usr : How do I get over feeling like I'm dumping on her? I know she's family but i'm sure she has problems too.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) right I see where you are coming from, remeber she is your family
usr : Yes, I suppose you are right. My aunt is the youngest sister of my mom. We used to see each other at family gatherings. Maybe she won't mind me calling.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) see you got this, a call is all that it takes to feel better
usr : I'm going to follow your suggestion and get myself out of this slump I'm in. I know I'm not the only person who goes through this, but it feels this way sometimes.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I used to feel like that all the time but then I thought to myself that i needed to surround myself with people and not be alone.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Im glad that you are going to follow my suggestion, we all go through the same thing but your getting help and thats whats counts
usr : You have a good point there. I used to think if I had my family then I didn't need anybody else. But we all need somebody to talk to.
sys : (Information) exactly you got it, we all need to surround ourselves with good people, im glad that you realize this. I hope that my insight has given you motavation to pursue relationships
usr : Thanks for your help. I'll go now and get my thoughts together to call my aunt.
sys : (Others) alright awesome it was a pleasure talking to you, have a good day.
usr : Enjoy your holidays!
| (Others) you too! |
