"My job has seen more and more responsibilities and pressure because of the pandemic. I really want to quit!". | usr : Hi, how are you? I am dealing with a lot right now!
sys : (Others) Hello! How can I help?
sys : (Question) What is wrong?
usr : My job is driving me nuts! I can't handle it anymore.
sys : (Question) How is it driving you nuts?
usr : The pressure has been building and building. They keep giving me more responsibility, but no more help! The pandemic has really made my job a lot harder.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have also went through the same thing as you and I know how hard it feels, so believe in yourself
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You have been given responsibility because you are competent enough to carry it out
usr : I want to quit the job and get away from the pressure. I'm worried about my mental health and also about the risk of COVID.
usr : I think that's the problem! I'm TOO competent.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Don't quit your job because it will only make life harder in the long run
usr : I think the company wouldn't give me so much work if I were worse at my job. The reward for doing a good job is more work!
usr : I know, I know! But the anxiety is killing me! Every day at work is worse than the last!
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Being competent is good and you will surely get compensation for the amount of work you put in, maybe a promotion
usr : I don't want to quit. How do I find a balance? How do I manage my anxiety?
usr : I don't think the company wants to give me a promotion because that would cost them more money. Maybe another company would pay me better.
| (Providing Suggestions) You could always work harder and show them you can work, maybe then they will offer you a promotion |

sys : (Question) I see. Do you live together?
usr : Yes
sys : (Question) That does sound upsetting. So how do you two make peace generally, or do you have silences between you?
usr : I guess it's less peace and more like silence
sys : (Providing Suggestions) So what helps you deal with it? I have found journaling so helpful when I have personal conflicts. It helps to get things in perspective, and to vent to a peice of paper
sys : (Self-disclosure) Actually I journal on my computer, and don't save it :)
usr : I've written some of our arguments down before, but it's too painful to look at now.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Thath's why I don't save my journal entries, too painful
usr : I used to talk to friends about it, but idk, it all feels empty now.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Do you have a counselor you can speak with about how to deal with the conflicts? Maybe he/she could arrange a family meeting
usr : I get that. It's hard to look at them. I'm not sure what to do to cope. Lately, my coping skills haven't been all to healthy
sys : (Self-disclosure) I did that with my husband when we were fighting, having a counselor in the room helped us gain insight.
usr : I have a psychiatrist and I'm trying to figure out how to pay for a therapy currently. I know some offer sliding scale options
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Exercise is helpful for burning off anger, a good long walk... Oh you must be in US?
usr : Yeah, I'm in the U.S. I used to go on walks and exercise at night. It really helps me sleep.
usr : Maybe I can start doing that again
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think that would be great! A good way to burn off frustration and improve physical health at the same time.
usr : I always fall out of it! Any advice for making a steady habit out of it?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You will get through this....it sounds like you two need to have some good talks to address these conflicts....together the two of you may be able to sort it out. On a day when things are calm, not during an argument.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Yes I do! I used to procrastinate walking....then I got myself a walking partner
usr : That sounds great! I've been wanting a workout partner, I think a friend of mines wants one too...
| (Self-disclosure) We are accountable to each other. We both need to walk for our mental health, we have mental health issues |

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anger regarding a/an Issues with Parents. The seeker says
"My mom and I got into an argument. She says I don't respect or appreciate her enough. I feel like she's over-exaggerating things.". | sys : (Question) Hello, how are you today?
usr : Hey, I've been having a really rough day.
usr : My mom and I got into an argument
sys : (Question) I'm sorry to hear that, what's happening?
sys : (Question) How bad was the argument? What was it about?
usr : She got pretty upset when I took off my shower head without telling her. Somehow, we ended up arguing about how I don't respect her.
sys : (Question) Do you think there is any truth to what she is saying?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Family conflict can be very upsetting, I have it in my family sometimes.
usr : Maybe. I don't particularly like her and that she maybe picks up on that. But I feel like that's the underlying issue and the shower head argument is just a coverup for her real feelings.
usr : It's really upsetting. We have "peaceful" moments before we're arguing again
sys : (Question) I see. Do you live together?
usr : Yes
sys : (Question) That does sound upsetting. So how do you two make peace generally, or do you have silences between you?
usr : I guess it's less peace and more like silence
sys : (Providing Suggestions) So what helps you deal with it? I have found journaling so helpful when I have personal conflicts. It helps to get things in perspective, and to vent to a peice of paper
sys : (Self-disclosure) Actually I journal on my computer, and don't save it :)
usr : I've written some of our arguments down before, but it's too painful to look at now.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Thath's why I don't save my journal entries, too painful
usr : I used to talk to friends about it, but idk, it all feels empty now.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Do you have a counselor you can speak with about how to deal with the conflicts? Maybe he/she could arrange a family meeting
usr : I get that. It's hard to look at them. I'm not sure what to do to cope. Lately, my coping skills haven't been all to healthy
sys : (Self-disclosure) I did that with my husband when we were fighting, having a counselor in the room helped us gain insight.
usr : I have a psychiatrist and I'm trying to figure out how to pay for a therapy currently. I know some offer sliding scale options
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Exercise is helpful for burning off anger, a good long walk... Oh you must be in US?
usr : Yeah, I'm in the U.S. I used to go on walks and exercise at night. It really helps me sleep.
usr : Maybe I can start doing that again
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think that would be great! A good way to burn off frustration and improve physical health at the same time.
usr : I always fall out of it! Any advice for making a steady habit out of it?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You will get through this....it sounds like you two need to have some good talks to address these conflicts....together the two of you may be able to sort it out. On a day when things are calm, not during an argument.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Yes I do! I used to procrastinate walking....then I got myself a walking partner
usr : That sounds great! I've been wanting a workout partner, I think a friend of mines wants one too...
sys : (Self-disclosure) We are accountable to each other. We both need to walk for our mental health, we have mental health issues
usr : How'd you find one?
sys : (Others) Hey that would be great if you two could be accountable to each other
usr : And yeah, we do need to talk, I just feel conflicted because I ask if it would help anything or should I just move out and move on?
sys : (Self-disclosure) My neighbour and I were chatting about how we are not motivated to walk but want to walk, so we made a plan
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Well....only one way to find that out....and and challenging as it may seem it could be, it's a less drastic step than moving
sys : (Information) If you both want it to work, it will
usr : That sounds nice. My friend just likes being in shape ig, so it works out. We both have kinda hectic, unsupportive families.
sys : (Others) Well I hope you two can talk it out.
usr : Yeah, that's a good point. It takes time, but I'm trying to learn to when to give more effort and when to pull away.
usr : Me too. Thanks for talking to me.
sys : (Others) oh it's been a pleasure speaking with you, you're very welcome
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I wish you all the best, you will get through this :)
usr : Thank you so much. I hope we both can continue to work on being happy and healthy
| (Others) :) we will |
