usr : Each stenographer has their own "Personal Dictionary" which is a list of words in English along with how you in particular write out those words or phrases in steno. This dictionary is present within the actual steno machine after you transfer it from your laptop to the machine via cable or wifi. Thus your machine then knows how you write out words in particular and how to translate those words from steno to English - each stenographer writes a little differently.
| (Self-disclosure) OK that makes sense, so you basically program it as the user. I take it your stenography machine becomes pretty close to you lol |

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"Not having enough friends nearby. My three nearby friends went away for holidays, so I have no one to spend time with over this weekend.". | sys : (Question) Hello how are you?
usr : I'm, okay, thanks, and you? I'm feeling a bit down because I'm alone for the holidays.
sys : (Question) Well that's no good, does your family live far away?
usr : Yes, my family is scattered all over the country, like Seattle, Georgia, PA. I'm sure I'm not the only one with no plans this weekend, though.
sys : (Self-disclosure) True but I can understand that, it is hard being alone at the holidays.
sys : (Question) Did you have plans this weekend?
usr : No. My nearby friends all went away for the holidays. I could probably just occupy my time with things I need or want to do in order to distract myself.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) What kind of hobbies do you have?
usr : I'm teaching myself the piano. I'm also teaching myself how to work a stenography machine for possible future employment as a stenographer. I also like to read novels.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I have never understood how those work..I find it amazing someone can type out whole words or sentences with one word
usr : Yeah, it's pretty cool. For example, if I hit DRAT in one stroke, then "Did there come a time" will appear in English on my machine's LCD screen.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Wow that is crazy, I don't understand how that works, is it preprogrammed or does it go by how the word sounds?
usr : Each stenographer has their own "Personal Dictionary" which is a list of words in English along with how you in particular write out those words or phrases in steno. This dictionary is present within the actual steno machine after you transfer it from your laptop to the machine via cable or wifi. Thus your machine then knows how you write out words in particular and how to translate those words from steno to English - each stenographer writes a little differently.
sys : (Self-disclosure) OK that makes sense, so you basically program it as the user. I take it your stenography machine becomes pretty close to you lol
sys : (Question) Is this your first holiday alone?
usr : Yes, exactly! And it's very important to back up your personal dictionary to the cloud or a seperate drive so that you don't lose it in a hard-drive crash. A lot of work goes into creating that dictionary! No, it's happened before, being along for the holidays; but you've helped to cheer me up, so thanks!
sys : (Providing Suggestions) No problem, I hope I have made your day a little better!

"I feel like I'm worthless, I can not accomplish anything in life.". | sys : (Question) Hi there how are you today?
usr : I feel horrible to be honest. I can't get anything done.
sys : (Question) I am really sorry to hear that.. would you like to talk about it?
usr : I guess... But I doubt this will be of any help. I am just here because my mother pressured me.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So, I hear you saying that you're not enthusiastic about having to talk about your problems?
usr : I really never find why telling my problems to a stranger can result helpful
sys : (Self-disclosure) I do understand. I've tried therapy myself and was very hesitant at first. But after a while I found it really did help
sys : (Question) Do you feel ready to tell me what specifically is wrong?
usr : Everything has been going wrong. I have no friends, 0 luck with dating. School sucks. I fail my classes. I can't find a job.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Well, let's take these one at a time. Firstly, is there something you could do to make friends? Join a group of some kind?
usr : Do you mean like joining a club at school or something?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) What about something like a book club or a gym?
sys : (Others) You never know, you might also find a date there :)
usr : I hate exercising. I like reading manga every now and then. I guess I am just a depressed weeb. I'm so useless....
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) No you are not. Thinking like that is a symptom of depression. It is perfectly normal but there is help available.
usr : The thing is I would be in a much better place in life right now if I were capable of it.
usr : I am just not fit for society.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I do understand. I have suffered severe depression and I know how debilitating it is. Can you see your doctor?
usr : Yeah, I probably can
sys : (Question) Would you be prepared to take medication? I know a lot of people hate the idea but it can really help.
usr : Medication? Am I some kind of crazy psycho now? No, not at all
sys : (Self-disclosure) I was talking about anti depressants :). I use prozac and it helps a lot.
usr : Prozac? Could you tell me more about it...?
sys : (Information) Yes - it is an anti depressant drug that was developed about thirty years ago. It works by preventing your brain from reuptaking serotonin
usr : Is that some kind of hormone that makes me feel down?
| (Information) Serotonin actually makes you feel good. In a depressed person it can be reuptaken by the brain too rapidly however, leaving you feeling low. Prozac prevents this from happening. |
