usr : I wonder what I should do sometimes.

I try to tell friends and family that I cannot always be the problem solver, I try to make them see that I deserve a chance to ask advice, to just vent, or to just have a light talk about the weather or a party or something. They don’t seem to hear me. One friend said she thought I was blowing it out of proportion. But that’s the way I feel
usr : What approach would you take if you were me?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Yes, everyone needs someone to talk to.I think you deserve people who will be there for you when you need them to, and not only just take take and not give anything..
usr : How do I get through to these people or do I need new friends?? Lol
usr : Because sometimes I think a new friend group isn’t a bad idea....
sys : (Providing Suggestions) This is probably hard to hear but you need someone you can count on, I think it would be a good idea for you to get new friends that would be their for you and wont take you for granted.
usr : I think it is hard to do that but maybe I should seek out a few new people to be around, some more give and take would be really nice. Not sure how I will do this though...
sys : (Question) Do you go out to any public places?
usr : I’m raising my grandchild. Maybe in a group of others in a situation like mine I’d be able to find what I am looking for?
usr : Well, with COVID and my one medication causing a low white blood cell count I cannot go out very much..
usr : Once I can go out more I am sure it would be easier
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Yes that work, and yes i know its a bit risky, maybe you can try joining any online groups of people that have things in common with you.
usr : That’s a great idea. I think I will seek out some online groups for support and some where I have similar interests like a book group or something. That’s a great way to start!
usr : I’m actually a little excited to give this a try!
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) Yes book clubs are great. |

sys : (Question) Hello, how are you doing?
usr : I’m ok. A little down because I am a bit lonely. I have others around me all the time but they want my attention and don’t ever want to really talk to me or listen to me unless I am solving their problems
usr : I just wish someone would want to have a conversation about anything besides their own issues. Friends, family, it’s all the same here
usr : Do you understand what I mean?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Yes i understand what you mean.
usr : I’m glad someone does. I try to speak up but get no where
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I'm sorry to hear that.
sys : (Question) Is there anything i can help you with? To make you feel better?
usr : It is annoying and sometimes I get really down about it. I just want someone to talk to....I just want to know that someone will listen once in a while. I’m honestly not that needy but everyone needs to know that someone will listen at some point

usr : I honestly have a pretty good handle on the depression, lots of therapy. The migraines are making it hard to get anything done though
sys : (Question) Would you say that the migraines are a result of working?
usr : I am honestly not sure, I have gotten one in my entire life before and 6 in the last month. I dont think that it is stress related
sys : (Others) you'd be surprised as how much stress actually does to the mind itself. Has anything in your daily life, in the past month alone, changed that would lead to increased stress that you wouldn't normally experience?
usr : Honestly not really, things are going well at work and life is actually going well
sys : (Question) from where I am, most businesses require us to work form home. Is this true for you?
usr : No I am stuck going into work, we are essential enough to stay open
sys : (Self-disclosure) Ah, I also know some essential workers who must physically attend work. I am lead to believe that the pandemic inadvertently causes a lot of stress in places that we don't commonly associate stress with. For example, wearing a mask everywhere for us in the United States can become a pain sometimes like when I forget it in the car or the house
usr : Yes honestly covid has definitely been exhausting. masks have been mandatory here for quite some time so I am never without one
sys : (Self-disclosure) I don't blame you, its impossible to keep this composure especially with a pandemic breathing down our necks. When I worked, I found that smaller problems that wouldn't normally phase me began to have a greater effect when the pandemic hit
sys : (Others) Thus my stress went up as a result and wearing a mask didn't help the problem
usr : Honestly I wear a mask 8 hours a day and its not a big deal
sys : (Question) Hmm I guess we all deal with the precautionary measure differently. Has your daily routine changed at all in the past month?
usr : Not much has changed
| (Reflection of feelings) are you able to identify any change whatsoever? I ask since any imbalance our body and mind experience is sometimes enough to see a poor reaction, that may lead to things such as migraines |

sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you considered any sort of bereavement counselling? Addiction in a partner is a very hard thing to have to deal with. It is not your fault!
usr : I had decided that I was gonna wait to hear from him that day instead of texting or calling him. I wanted him to realize how upset his addiction made me. Instead the phone call I got was that he had been killed.
| (Question) Do you feel any sort of guilt about it? You should not, of course, but do you wonder if things would have been different if you had talked to him first? |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"Well I guess it's not really a break up, my boyfriend got killed in a car accident coming up on 3 years ago in January.". | sys : (Question) hello there, how are you?
usr : I am ok. Kinda having a rough day today.
sys : (Question) I am sorry to hear that. Do you want to talk about it?
usr : Sure. It's coming up on 3 years next month that I lost my boyfriend in a car accident. Its just really rough this time of year.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Oh I am so sorry to hear that. I cannot imagine how hard that must have been for you.
usr : Extremely hard. I remember that morning like it was yesterday. He got killed within an hour after leaving the house on his way to work.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) He was killed so soon after you last saw him?
usr : Very soon. And the worst thing is I was upset with him that morning. He had an addiction to xanax. I was not ok with it. He had went and got some that morning and he would always give them to me so I could give them to him so he didn't take them all. I was so upset that he went and got them. He was packing up his truck with things to take to the new shop that day. He was a tattoo artist and just started a new job. I didn't even get out of bed to help him and he knew I was upset with him.

usr : I haven't done any counseling. I know I should and it would probably help me. I don't know why I have not.
| (Self-disclosure) I have previously had counselling and found it very useful but there is a long waiting list for a free counsellor |
