The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"Depression exacerbated by nasty migraines lately.". | usr : Hello
sys : (Question) Hello there. How are things treating you at the moment?
usr : Could be better or worse, how are you?
sys : (Question) Pretty much sums it up really. I think that that is how a lot of us are feeling right now. Is there anything you'd like to talk about?
usr : I have been getting migraines lately which is not fun.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Ouch I hear you .. I have suffered from those for years. They are no fun at all are they?
sys : (Question) Are you getting any sort of treatment for it? There are some effective treatments out there.
usr : I actually just talked to my doctor today, I am going to track my triggers and see if we can figure out why I am getting them. Also some meds for the symptoms.
sys : (Question) That sounds really productive. Do you think that the attacks might be stress related in some way?
usr : It could be but they seem to happen more on weekends so that doesn't really make sense.
sys : (Question) Hmm yes I can see how that does not make any sense. Do you have any other medical issues?
usr : No I am in pretty good health, a bit of sciatica from a few years back but that only flares up occasionally.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Well, I believe that there are some new advances in migraine treatment at the moment so I think things will improve for you. I am sorry if I am not being more help.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) You sound as though you are dealing with the problem pretty well though
usr : Thanks I knoq its pretty hard to fix medical issues with a conversation, I am also a little depressed if that helps:)
sys : (Question) Ah I hear you on that. Do you feel that this is related to the pandemic or is it something that has been ongoing for a while?
usr : No this is a very old friend
sys : (Information) There are some excellent counselling services available if you are interested in going that route.
usr : Honestly I have a pretty good handle on it, I have done a lot of therapy and I am quite open with people about it.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That is a really healthy attitude to have. I think that you are dealing with this very well .. well done!
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Back to migraines, have you considered trying to alter your diet to help with it? Some people believe that avoiding certain foods can be really helpful.
usr : Yes I need to start keeping track of what triggers me, Caffeine is definitely off the menu because that sets it off for me
sys : (Self-disclosure) That's a shame - I would really miss caffeine if I had to do without it! I did try cutting out sugar but it did not really have any effect
sys : (Others) I hope that you can find some resolution in the New Year. All the best to you and thanks for talking!
usr : Thanks for your help, Have a wonderful day!
| (Others) You too! Don't forget to press the button and take the survey ;) |

sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think that would be the first step. Determine how many hours you feel you COULD work. Then advise them that is what you will do. Find out what kind of timelines there are, and if you can't do it, don't go beyond your boundaries. It is obviously destroying your life. It really isn't healthy for you.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Exactly. It isn't working for you. Something has to change. And you sound intelligent, so you can determine what will work for you -- perhaps a range of hours, but definitely not 14 hours. Unless you are a young kid. lol Even then, that's a lot.
usr : yeah - ill come up with reasonable boundaries till 5:30 is reasonable, and if its a do or die situation cap it at 7:30 --- and thats only for dire situations. if that doesnt work, well then i guess either i dont have a job, or people figure out how to work in regular hours.
sys : (Others) That sounds reasonable to me. And if they try to make you feel guilty, reject that. Tell them, I'm sorry, but I feel this is reasonable, and truly it is.
usr : hah i used to go out like a young kid, but still - just because most of us are working from home 24/7, doesnt mean I actually can work 24/7. even fi i were young, hell no. they dont pay me enough.
usr : thanks i really appreciate it. it sounds reasonable, and its what a coworker told me. if i dont set boundaries, i will crack.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) No one can work 24/7. I think they may not even be aware you are struggling. So communication is important.

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anger regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says
"Had to work till 11pm and up early the next morning. No emotional support and completely drained of all energy. Have no desire to continue with the job, but need to get paid.". | sys : (Question) Hi! How are you tonight?
usr : Im ok - tired. Yourself.
sys : (Question) I'm doing fairly well, Thanks. Can I encourage you or support you in some way?
usr : Yes - definitely. I am not sure how to proceed or what to do in my situation. I am exhausted, mentally and physically.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) You sound as if you are in a slump. I've been there. Perhaps defining the problem and some solutions can help?
usr : Perhaps - i dont know the solution. the problem is I cannot continue to work these hours - it is just not sustainable.
sys : (Question) What are your hours?
usr : like generally, or currently in these situations? usually its around 9-5 (give or take). These days its 9 - 7 or 11pm or later.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have to say, when I am physically and mentally exhausted, I don't think as clearly and lose hope more easily.
usr : right, and that is the issue of where I am at.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) 9 to 11 would exhaust me. That is 14 hours?
usr : yeah - something like that. and lunches are at the desk - as i am working from home - so its pretty much no breaks either.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I would certainly agree with you. That kind of work is unsustainable. Let me ask you this. What would happen if you told your employer you simply could not do these hours?
usr : hah - i dunno. im on a team of 2 people - and i guess if i dont do it, the other person has to. or it just doesnt get done, and i dont know what happens?? nothing? LOL.
sys : (Self-disclosure) The worst that could happen is that they fire you. But that doesn't seem too likely as they seem to need you. But I have learned in life that if I don't care for myself, hardly anyone does. We need to be kind to ourselves. Set boundaries.
usr : agreed - i dont think they would fire me, maybe get reprimanded or more likely a guilt trip as to why I cant do it. Im just not sure what kind of boundaries I set when we have things due, and just literally no time.

usr : yeah, i think a call to not just my boss is in order, but also HR to advise them of the situation. they need to start telling managers, we are NOT front of the line workers, nor police, fire, etc. our jobs are not THAT important.
| (Others) I will say a prayer that you communicate your needs politely but firmly. And not believe false guilt. As you said, you aren't putting out fires and doing CPR. |

usr : yeah - ill come up with reasonable boundaries till 5:30 is reasonable, and if its a do or die situation cap it at 7:30 --- and thats only for dire situations. if that doesnt work, well then i guess either i dont have a job, or people figure out how to work in regular hours.
sys : (Others) That sounds reasonable to me. And if they try to make you feel guilty, reject that. Tell them, I'm sorry, but I feel this is reasonable, and truly it is.
usr : hah i used to go out like a young kid, but still - just because most of us are working from home 24/7, doesnt mean I actually can work 24/7. even fi i were young, hell no. they dont pay me enough.
usr : thanks i really appreciate it. it sounds reasonable, and its what a coworker told me. if i dont set boundaries, i will crack.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) No one can work 24/7. I think they may not even be aware you are struggling. So communication is important.
sys : (Others) You don't want to crack. It's not worth it.
usr : yeah, i think a call to not just my boss is in order, but also HR to advise them of the situation. they need to start telling managers, we are NOT front of the line workers, nor police, fire, etc. our jobs are not THAT important.
sys : (Others) I will say a prayer that you communicate your needs politely but firmly. And not believe false guilt. As you said, you aren't putting out fires and doing CPR.
usr : plus netflix, hulu, amazon keep releasing new shows. if i need a reason, it can simply be to watch tv and detox (so to speak) and get away from the BS of work (obv stating it more nicely than that).
sys : (Information) This has been a stressful year for many of us, you don't need to be working yourself into depression and exhaustion.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) You really do not NEED a reason not to work unreasonable hours.
usr : agreed 100% --- ive already hit those points, and it is not good for anyone let alone my job.
sys : (Others) It isn't anyone's business what you do on your off hours.
usr : completely agreed! and thanks for listening :)
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I do suggest you simply stick to the facts. These are the hours, I can't work more. You don't need to explain that to anyone. But be firm and polite. And you are very welcome. Sometimes we just need a friend! :D
usr : its what i needed to hear from someone who is more anonymous (so to speak). who doesnt have a first hand attachment to me, so its a great assessment.

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anger regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says
"Had to work till 11pm and up early the next morning. No emotional support and completely drained of all energy. Have no desire to continue with the job, but need to get paid.". | sys : (Question) Hi! How are you tonight?
usr : Im ok - tired. Yourself.
sys : (Question) I'm doing fairly well, Thanks. Can I encourage you or support you in some way?
usr : Yes - definitely. I am not sure how to proceed or what to do in my situation. I am exhausted, mentally and physically.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) You sound as if you are in a slump. I've been there. Perhaps defining the problem and some solutions can help?
usr : Perhaps - i dont know the solution. the problem is I cannot continue to work these hours - it is just not sustainable.
sys : (Question) What are your hours?
usr : like generally, or currently in these situations? usually its around 9-5 (give or take). These days its 9 - 7 or 11pm or later.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have to say, when I am physically and mentally exhausted, I don't think as clearly and lose hope more easily.
usr : right, and that is the issue of where I am at.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) 9 to 11 would exhaust me. That is 14 hours?
usr : yeah - something like that. and lunches are at the desk - as i am working from home - so its pretty much no breaks either.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I would certainly agree with you. That kind of work is unsustainable. Let me ask you this. What would happen if you told your employer you simply could not do these hours?
usr : hah - i dunno. im on a team of 2 people - and i guess if i dont do it, the other person has to. or it just doesnt get done, and i dont know what happens?? nothing? LOL.
sys : (Self-disclosure) The worst that could happen is that they fire you. But that doesn't seem too likely as they seem to need you. But I have learned in life that if I don't care for myself, hardly anyone does. We need to be kind to ourselves. Set boundaries.
usr : agreed - i dont think they would fire me, maybe get reprimanded or more likely a guilt trip as to why I cant do it. Im just not sure what kind of boundaries I set when we have things due, and just literally no time.
sys : (Information) Setting boundaries can be difficult if you haven't done that a lot. When we think we don't have the ability to say NO, then we feel trapped, worn out, depressed, taken advantage of. People need to know that we reasonably can say no.
usr : Well, I have to set boundaries, because working till 11pm most nights is not sustainable. and who on earth is going to view, let alone sign a contract at 12am
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think that would be the first step. Determine how many hours you feel you COULD work. Then advise them that is what you will do. Find out what kind of timelines there are, and if you can't do it, don't go beyond your boundaries. It is obviously destroying your life. It really isn't healthy for you.

I'd recommend putting your profile on LinkedIn, and/or checking a job aggregator like Indeed or Glassdoor. There, you can view and apply for several jobs.

sys : (Providing Suggestions) Are you taking the right steps to stay healthy? Wearing a mask, avoiding large gatherings, and social distancing?
usr : yes but with moving we have had people in our home and will have movers hoping they have been safe
sys : (Others) Good point. Since you hired them, you can establish expectations with them that they take the right precautions to keep you and your home healthy.
usr : yes thats true I hope I have been grinding my teeth at night I just cant wait for this all to be done
sys : (Question) Tell me about your job search. Also, what experience do you have?
usr : CSR but with covid its been hard also I have to be around for my mom
usr : honest im scared to be in any public setting
sys : (Question) Does CSR stand for Customer Service Representative?
usr : yes sorry it does I also have some banking under my belt but have been out of work for couple years because I was caring for my father
usr : he needed 24/7 my moms not as bad but needs help
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Well, CSR and experience in Banking must mean you have some skills that are in high-demand. Many companies need CSR's, and Banks are always hiring. Skills needed for CSR are very translatable to other customer service jobs, sales, and more!
usr : yes I know if I could find something where I could work from home thats would help but sometimes I just feel like giving up and going back to bed
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I'm sure you will find something very quickly.
usr : thank you I hope so it helps to just talk about it
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) also, many companies have shifted their workforce to work from home, so you are even more likely to get a service position in a work-from-home environment,
usr : I have been looking but till after the move things have been all out of wack
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I see, so it sounds like you need a job search tool that will save you time. I'd recommend putting your profile on LinkedIn, and/or checking a job aggregator like Indeed or Glassdoor. There, you can view and apply for several jobs. I recommend applying and interviewing for several positions at the same time to improve your odds. I'm sure you will get one.
usr : yes I have o some of those thanks I will just have to cross my fingers
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) Glad to hear. Sounds like your are doing all the right things. |

usr : Yes, feel sad and I cry or want to cry all the time. I feel like I should not have broken it off with him but I also can not be with someone that I do not trust. He has always been so good to me and so I was totally blind sided.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) I think it is great that you stood up for yourself and broke up with him. That is something to be proud of. |

usr : That's a good point you make. I was lonely and wanting to fill that void. But, I do want a family. I'm just not sure he is that committed or even mature enough to handle this responsibility. Perhaps I'm naive.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) I don't think you are naive, you are clearly asking yourself the right questions about building a future with him |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"My partner said he loved me and led me on. Then he went to cheat on me after one year of pretending he truly loved me. I am so sad and lonely and he is always with friends. It just isn't fair.". | usr : How could my partner say he loves me, go out with me for one year and then cheat.
sys : (Question) I'm sorry to hear about that, have you discussed how it made you feel with your partner?
usr : Yes, but he barely calls me back. I'm worried that he all of a sudden is so distant.
sys : (Question) If it were entirely up to you how would you like your relationship to proceed from here?
usr : I would ideally like him to say he was sorry and never look at another woman but now I doubt his faithfulness and think the only reason I'm with him is because I'm so lonely.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It sounds like you worry you will not be able to trust him in the future because of this no matter what his future actions are, do you think there is anything he could do or say that would change this?
usr : I do worry a lot. If he would commit fully to me that would help perhaps. If he never cheated again but I don't know if he can do that reliably.
sys : (Question) What would you define as full commitment from him?
usr : I think marriage, but then again if he cheats then what commitment is that really if it ends in divorce?
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) That's true and divorce can be expensive. You mentioned before that you feel like you are with him mostly because you are lonely, is that how your relationship started?

sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I don't think you are naive, you are clearly asking yourself the right questions about building a future with him
usr : Thanks for the encouragment.
| (Question) Do you have friends and family around that could help distract you from the loneliness until you find someone you are comfortable starting a family with? |
