I support whatever she wants but right after Christmas is hard sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Holidays can add pressure to our "normal" situations. sys : (Question) Did you find that your normal coping mechanisms were not as helpful today? usr : Yeah, December has been hard on everyone. I know things will get better but its hard finding positivity when I feel so negative. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Sounds like your support is not appreciated. usr : Usually coping is either eating a ton of food or smoking marijuana, but with the holiday money is tight. I am listening to emo pop music from the 2000's now to help. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Music definitely helps! sys : (Self-disclosure) I have a list of songs that I like to sing to. I can't really sing, like, at all. But I love to do it. And it makes me forget about whatever is going on. usr : Honestly, in the past I have been a lot lower than I am now. I really just hope I am able to stay strong for as long as i can right now usr : Honestly i do the same thing a lot. Songs with a lot of emotion that i can belt out sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You are certainly self-aware. Better off than most people! usr : i will have to find somewhere i can properly exercise my awful vocals lol sys : (Self-disclosure) Ah! I like pop songs from the 60's :-) sys : (Self-disclosure) Ha! The car is always good! usr : honestly its because i have been hospitalized due to my mental state. i try to be as self aware as possible now. i just hate the feeling of being blindsided. sys : (Reflection of feelings) Have you tried The Smiths?

I do get down with a few of the older bands thats for sure sys : (Reflection of feelings) To be blindsided is a violation of trust. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you spoken to her about it at all, or is that not your jam? sys : (Information) It's ok. A lot of people are non-confrontational. Society tells us we should be able to express our boundaries. Not everyone is comfortable with that and that is ok. usr : we literally just talked about it an hour ago. she says she doesnt know what she wants and she doesnt know how long but she doesnt want to be away from me right now. which i feel just isnt fair. i feel like no one can just pick and choose when they want someone around. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) But that puts more responsibility on you for your feelings. Sounds like you have coping skills for that. usr : i know. with COVID this is so much harder. i may just take a long walk and try to focus on myself, because it seems like our future is in flux and it seems like it could go either way. sys : (Reflection of feelings) You're right. That is not fair. You are feeling conflict and abandoned/not-abandoned. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Could you make the decision? usr : i feel like what i may do, is just sleep on the couch for now and give her as much space as possible, at least for now i think
(Self-disclosure) Only you are responsible for you. I was with someone who, although we had great fun together, he couldn't be with me as much as I wanted him to. And it made me feel bad. Because it brought up feelings from when I was growing up and neglected.

With my last big breakup, I didn't date for almost a year until I met someone. I would suggest at least a month or so to take some time for yourself and focus on yourself and what makes you happy so when you are ready to date again, you have a stronger sense of self. usr : Thanks. That is great advice. I wouldn’t want to go into something just for the sake of dating.
(Providing Suggestions) Agreed. Taking the breather definitely helps.

How are you doing today? usr : I have had better days. sys : (Question) Would you like to talk about it? usr : I could use someone to talk to. sys : (Others) I would love to listen. Where would you like to start? usr : I’ve been feeling down since I broke up with my girlfriend of 5 years. sys : (Self-disclosure) I'm so sorry to hear that. Breakups are never an easy thing. I've also gone through those and they can make you feel awful. usr : I’m just trying to pick up the pieces and look to be positive. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That's an excellent place to start. It's hard but I believe that you can do it. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Do you have any family or friends that you've been speaking to about this? usr : Thanks for the encouragement. That means a lot. usr : Any suggestions on how I can get my mind off of it? sys : (Providing Suggestions) Do you have any hobbies? I found that refocusing my energy into something I love doing really helped to bring my mood up. usr : Great advice. I think I’m going to start up taking yoga again and catch up on some books I’ve been wanting to read. sys : (Reflection of feelings) Yoga is an amazing stress reliever. I practice myself! I like your game plan and I think you'll start feeling the results sooner than you think. usr : I think I’m going to lay low on dating for a while. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I completely understand. You'll know when you're ready again and it's great to take things at your own pace. All that matters is to do things when you're ready to. usr : How long do you think I should take a break for? sys : (Self-disclosure) Honestly, that will end up being up to you. With my last big breakup, I didn't date for almost a year until I met someone.
