The seeker says "I have nobody in my life that supports me. No purpose to my life. My husband treats me like dirt. I am just so frustrated with being sad all the time but just when I think it is looking up, I get knocked down again.".
sys : (Question) Hello, I am here to listen. How are things going? usr : Bad. Almost had a good day and then got treated bad in the end so I don't know why I try. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I understand how you feel. It seems as if you are being treated badly for no genuine reason. Is this correct? usr : That is correct. sys : (Question) Who is treating you badly? Do you believe there are any causes behind the actions of those hurting you? usr : My husband mainly. He just doesn't want me to enjoy life I guess. sys : (Self-disclosure) That must be really difficult to go through, I know when my partner treats me badly, I am hurt and upset with them. usr : Yeah, just become part of life I guess. Doesn't make it any better. sys : (Question) Are there any steps you can think of taking to express your frustrations with your husband? usr : I have tried many times. It always ends up my fault in the end so I don't bother anymore and just take it. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It is easy to lose patience when the blame is always directed towards you. I am sorry that is occurring, but applaud you for your efforts in trying to express your frustration. usr : Thank you. It gets trying at times. Tonight, I just sit in the dark alone because it isn't worth the hassle.
(Reflection of feelings) I can tell from chatting with you that you are struggling and fed up with this situation because you are trying very hard in your marriage but get nothing but disrespect in return.

(Information) From what I have seen, if a situation like this continues, not only will you be consumed with anger towards your husband which will all come out at once, but it may also lead to divorce based on research I have read about.

(Self-disclosure) I understand. I would prefer to work out a situation rather than use divorce as an option as well, but I am concerned with how miserable you have become.

(Self-disclosure) That is a very long time, I had a girlfriend and I was very vested in her and her family. She broke up with me around Christmas time as well. It has been awhile, but I remember getting her gift and it was over sometime afterwards. Do you have any co-workers or involvement with any local groups/organizations/church?

(Providing Suggestions) I think a therapist would be a great way to process this situation since our time is limited. From what you shared, it sounds like you have some past hurts that you may want to share with someone you trust. Do you have insurance or are you uninsured? There are great therapist for the insured and uninsured. :)

(Restatement or Paraphrasing) From what I am hearing, it sounds like you have a boundary and your girlfriend did not respect that. I think you deserve someone that respects you and your boundaries. If you do not feel comfortable, then you do not feel comfortable and should not be shamed for it.

The limitations the pandemic has set for all of us have been great. I am unsure if I will ever regain those friendships
(Reflection of feelings) I understand that. The pandemic has been very hard to keep connected with everyone. Have you tried talking to your friends about how you are feeling?

I do feel other friendships have formed within each community, feeling a bit left out. I feel silly, like a teenage girl, who wants to be included. Just want to feel as though I am still part of their lives.
(Reflection of feelings) It's completely normal to feel like that. I have been in your exact shoes. I would suggest inviting one of them out for lunch or dinner and express face to face how you are feeling right now.

(Providing Suggestions) She may be going through something at home or having family issues. We truly never know what the other person is going through unless we have that uncomfortable situation. My suggestion would be to rephrase that question slightly to her.

(Providing Suggestions) You both have been friends for such a long time. I'm so jealous of friendships like that. I would definitely ask her for lunch. You all have been through so much together. This conversation with her would be a weight off your shoulders.

The limitations the pandemic has set for all of us have been great. I am unsure if I will ever regain those friendships sys : (Reflection of feelings) I understand that. The pandemic has been very hard to keep connected with everyone. Have you tried talking to your friends about how you are feeling? usr : Yes, I have tried to message them daily, but the responses have always been clipped and or the response comes after couple days. I do feel other friendships have formed within each community, feeling a bit left out. I feel silly, like a teenage girl, who wants to be included. Just want to feel as though I am still part of their lives. sys : (Reflection of feelings) It's completely normal to feel like that. I have been in your exact shoes. I would suggest inviting one of them out for lunch or dinner and express face to face how you are feeling right now. usr : I was thinking the same thing, but I am unsure I feel awkward now, I feel like I do not them as I thought I did. I am unsure why I feel this way. one of them is my daughters god mother and the text are there but they are not like they use.. I am unsure if I should ask why she has time for others and not us... just saying it makes me feel weird usr : anyone there? sys : (Providing Suggestions) She may be going through something at home or having family issues. We truly never know what the other person is going through unless we have that uncomfortable situation. My suggestion would be to rephrase that question slightly to her. usr : I agree with you, just seems really strange since we were inseparable before the pandemic. I am also aware many are going through this situation just thought my friendships were stronger and distant would not be an issue. usr : I will, never did I think I would hesitate whats going on.. sys : (Question) It's completely natural. Instead of texting her, have you tried calling? usr : Yes, I have. The conversation have been superficial, like small talk. There is nothing to share, I am guessing. My daughter has had lots of dance functions despite the pandemic and yet I have not felt supported. Perhaps shes not okay with venturing out during the pandemic.. though I do see on social media shes meeting other friends in social settings. usr : Perhaps I need to be more open and not be so distant? Maybe its me and I am not seeing it? sys : (Question) How long have you been friends? usr : we are both 35 and we met in pre K. we are lifetime friends. shes a sister to me. At some point our parents use to live in the same apartment complex, our parents are great friends as well. usr : I was there for her babies birth, when she found out what she was having. We have shared grand moments together. sys : (Providing Suggestions) You both have been friends for such a long time. I'm so jealous of friendships like that. I would definitely ask her for lunch. You all have been through so much together. This conversation with her would be a weight off your shoulders. usr : Yes, shes the serious one and I am the loud and carefree one. So having our roles a bit reverse has me a bit, weirded out. I am an only child, and perhaps that makes me feel extremely unconfident. I am sure if asked, she would respond I am just being needy. eh, I will ask, since the pandemic ive only seen her once.
(Information) I do not think she would respond that way at all. Once she sees that this has you concerned about your friendship, she will take it serious and open up to you.

usr : I am having a deep sense of sadness after the break up with my boyfriend. usr : I feel like crying all the time and I feel like the sadness will never end. usr : I have sense of overwhelming sadness as if my heart is sinking or like I am on a sinking ship. I wake up in the middle of the night and I am gasping for air, too.
(Restatement or Paraphrasing) Thanks for sharing that with me. I'm so sorry you've been feeling like that. Breakups are so hard and can cause so much grief.

(Reflection of feelings) But they do pass eventually and become easier to manage- with time and care. Do you have anyone in your life, a friend or family member who you can lean on when you're feeling so sad?

(Reflection of feelings) It sounds like it's hard to have your best friend not be as supportive as you want during this hard time. What has been helping you to pass the time these days- do you have any activities or hobbies that you like to do to relax, have fun, or take your mind of things?
