We have 2 aquariums. sys : (Others) Animals can provide a lot of stress relief. I would say it's their cozy fur, but lizards and fish have their own attributes :) usr : We're actually getting another puppy this weekend to keep things fun. lol sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) A puppy sounds like a great idea. I think she or he will revitalize your family! usr : Watching the fish swim is relaxing. The lizard is my son's we've had him for over 5 years. usr : Animals do help with stress. sys : (Others) I've always wanted a nicely decorated fish tank. I'm glad you have pets to help you get through the day. sys : (Question) Is it late where you are? Getting enough sleep helps our moods as well. usr : You should get one! sys : (Others) I think I just might. You've convinced me! usr : Its 10pm here. I try to get sleep but I like to get my alone time in while the kids are sleeping usr : I do fine myself staying up for a long time then I have to get up around 7am with the kids.
(Affirmation and Reassurance) That certainly must be tricky to do with 4 kids.

usr : Things have much worse the last couple weeks sys : (Question) It seems like things have not be great for you over the past couple of weeks. Why do you feel they have been worse? usr : I had been seeing a therapist online and two weeks ago he was really mean, but said he thought it was a good session and we were making a breakthrough. Then when I signed on last week I signed in to request entrance into the meeting and after a few moments was told it was denied. Nothing like feeling the person who is paid to help you refusing to talk to you
(Question) That seems like a frustrating experience. What were your expectations of the session you were supposed to have? Did you feel like what you learned in your previous session would have helped you with dealing with what you typically work on in your mental health sessions ?

(Self-disclosure) Yes, that can be tough. When I had a lot of tests coming up and a lot to study for, I wrote down goals to study -- like I broke down the classes and made certain goals to study a bit in each class. And then if I did that, I could go out with friends or some reward like that.

(Providing Suggestions) For example, if you have 7 classes, you can make a chart for when you will study for each of those classes and then check them off as you accomplish it, maybe not all in one day, maybe break it up in reasonable bits. Then study according to your goal, if that makes sense.

(Self-disclosure) I remember after each class, I would take 15 minutes to review all my notes from class, that seems short, but really, it adds up and helped so much.

(Others) Yes, stick to one subject at a time. For example, if you think 1/2 hour is good enough to study, then stick to that. When done, your done until the next time it is on your schedule.

(Reflection of feelings) Procrastination never makes us feel good. If I keep putting something off, I then feel guilty. If I make a goal, and I reach it, I can put a reward. For example, if you study 3 subjects 1/2 hour each, you can go out for yogurt with a friend. So you reward yourself for sticking to that goal.

(Self-disclosure) Yes, I did. lol I'm really old now. This technique I use in all my life. Even house chores, I break it down into a schedule, put it in writing, then check off what I do. Then I feel good about my accomplishments.

I think it is part of how I get overwhelmed maybe.
(Reflection of feelings) Definitely you need a break, so schedule them as rewards. You can even do 15 minutes in say 4 subjects, then take a walk, take a cup of tea, or call a friend, then back to the books.

(Providing Suggestions) Keep it as SIMPLE as possible, don't get bogged down. I used to think planning was TERRIBLE< but actually, it sets one FREE. You feel so much better and accomplished when you see how much you have done. It really is amazing.

When I had a lot of tests coming up and a lot to study for, I wrote down goals to study -- like I broke down the classes and made certain goals to study a bit in each class. And then if I did that, I could go out with friends or some reward like that. sys : (Providing Suggestions) For example, if you have 7 classes, you can make a chart for when you will study for each of those classes and then check them off as you accomplish it, maybe not all in one day, maybe break it up in reasonable bits. Then study according to your goal, if that makes sense. sys : (Self-disclosure) I remember after each class, I would take 15 minutes to review all my notes from class, that seems short, but really, it adds up and helped so much. usr : Yes, I think you have excellent advice about organization. I feel like I lose track of what I have and when to do it. I also bounce between classes, feeling stressed because there is so much. Do you think doing one class at a time is best? usr : I also tend to save stuff sometimes so I have a lot of work build up with tests on the same days. I am not sure how to stop procrastinating. sys : (Others) Yes, stick to one subject at a time. For example, if you think 1/2 hour is good enough to study, then stick to that. When done, your done until the next time it is on your schedule. usr : Ok. Thank you so much for the ideas. It seems like you have had similar experiences with stress from school. sys : (Reflection of feelings) Procrastination never makes us feel good. If I keep putting something off, I then feel guilty. If I make a goal, and I reach it, I can put a reward. For example, if you study 3 subjects 1/2 hour each, you can go out for yogurt with a friend. So you reward yourself for sticking to that goal. sys : (Self-disclosure) Yes, I did. lol I'm really old now. This technique I use in all my life. Even house chores, I break it down into a schedule, put it in writing, then check off what I do. Then I feel good about my accomplishments. usr : Yes, that was my other question to you. It sounds great to just do a little time for each class but I often get overwhelmed and need a break usr : I have never used check lists or planners. I think it is part of how I get overwhelmed maybe. sys : (Reflection of feelings) Definitely you need a break, so schedule them as rewards. You can even do 15 minutes in say 4 subjects, then take a walk, take a cup of tea, or call a friend, then back to the books. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Keep it as SIMPLE as possible, don't get bogged down. I used to think planning was TERRIBLE< but actually, it sets one FREE. You feel so much better and accomplished when you see how much you have done. It really is amazing. sys : (Question) HOw man classes do you have?

(Providing Suggestions) That's a lot but it is totally doable. Here is a good example, If you plant seeds in a garden today, you have to weed it a bit tomorrow, the next day, the next day, you have to wait for rain, then weed some more, the harvest comes and YAY! You are happy. But if you lie on your bed, never planting, never weeding, you procrastinate, you get nothing.

(Information) If you write your classes down and then write a reasonable time to study each one. Maybe 3 today, 3 tomorrow, then add rewards if you do that, maybe make a list of rewards, so you can pick and choose, then you check off when you do the subject. Like a chore chart.

How are you? sys : (Others) I am doing okay, thanks for asking but what's going on with you? usr : My wife just told me that yesterday on a party my best friend flirted with my wife and asked her if she wants to have sex with him. sys : (Others) Oh no and how did this make you feel? usr : I am disgust and very angry to my friend usr : We've been friend since high school sys : (Reflection of feelings) I could imagine it did make you feel that way. This person doesn't seem like a friend as he knew that that was your wife. usr : I totally agree, it's unacceptable in any society I think usr : I am so angry now I want to smash his face sys : (Information) Yes, most definitely. Your feelings are very valid in this situation. However, physical violence would not be the best solution because you could get in trouble. usr : That's what my wife is also telling me. usr : But what can I do then? I want to smash things now sys : (Providing Suggestions) First, I would suggest that you distanced yourself or even stopped being friends with this person. Second, for the anger that you feel, there are a lot of things you could do like going running, going for a walk, or even crying sys : (Information) It's important that you do not hold these feelings in. usr : I don't want to cry sorry, I want hit something sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you considered punching a bag in the gym? That can be a great way for you to release that anger. usr : It would be great, unfortunately I don't go to gym usr : Should I ring him and tell everything I feel about him? usr : What do you thing sys : (Providing Suggestions) You could definitely call him and express your feelings to him as that would be another great way to get how you're feeling off of your chest. usr : I will then definitely ring him. Also I feel so sad because we have a lot of friends in common sys : (Self-disclosure) I definitely understand how you feel, I've been in the same situation where I'm not friends with a particular person but we have the same friend group. It may be hard in the beginning but the tension and awkwardness should get easier as time goes on. I would suggest that you hang out with these friends without this other friend you're having issues with. usr : That's for sure but then friends need to decide who to invite sys : (Information) That's okay. Sometimes it may be you or other times it may be him that gets invited but that's how things will be since the situation transpired. usr : He did a such stupid thing, now he now only myself and he is affected but also our friends
(Others) That's very true. Don't bring the situation to your friends though because they had nothing to do with it. Only the friend who did the action should be affected.

I worry that she will be very upset and the thought of her in distress does concern me. It might be easier to stay together but I don't think that's the right thing to do.
(Affirmation and Reassurance) I can tell that you are a nice person that cares for your girlfriend and you want the best for her. I think you want to be honest with her which is a good sign of maturity and integrity.

(Self-disclosure) Unfortunately this may be upsetting in the short term. I had a friend who had a similar issue. He wanted to end things with his girlfriend and they ended up having an honest conversation, which was upsetting at the time but they are still friends to this day and parted on good terms.

I do worry about how this would go and am fearful that she will react badly. How would you go about it?
(Providing Suggestions) I think the best thing to do would just be honest about your feelings and start the conversation with her. I think you could also consider when is the right time to do this so that you minimise the affect that this may have on her.

(Information) People who have a negative experience at a key point in their lives, such as a birthday of Christmas, tend to remember that bad experience the following year. I mean choose an appropriate time to have the discussion.
