The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"My boyfriend cheated in me and then broke up with me after I told him that I knew what he did.". | 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.
sys : (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.
usr : Yes, I feel like I will never meet anyone else and that I wasted so much time.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know those feelings of sadness can feel like they will never end- I have felt that way too before.
usr : Do you feel like the best part of your life was over? That is how I feel now. Its seem like all of my plans for the future are over and ruined.
sys : (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?
usr : I have a best friend but she told me that she didn't like my boyfriend from the beginning so she is glad that we broke up. Well, that I got dumped.
sys : (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?
usr : I have been wanting to buy a bike and start taking my dog out for little bike rides. I want to get one with a basket and have her sit in the front. I just hate being alone and I feel so sad about doing everything alone now.
| (Self-disclosure) That's a great idea. I love taking walks and bike rides outside when I feel down. I also have a little dog and she helps me whenever I'm feeling lonely- dogs are great at providing comfort and unconditional love. |

If there is a dog park or local park nearby, maybe you can go and talk to other people there- talking about your dogs is a great icebreaker! |

sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know those feelings of sadness can feel like they will never end- I have felt that way too before.
usr : Do you feel like the best part of your life was over? That is how I feel now. Its seem like all of my plans for the future are over and ruined.
sys : (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?
usr : I have a best friend but she told me that she didn't like my boyfriend from the beginning so she is glad that we broke up. Well, that I got dumped.
sys : (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?
usr : I have been wanting to buy a bike and start taking my dog out for little bike rides. I want to get one with a basket and have her sit in the front. I just hate being alone and I feel so sad about doing everything alone now.
sys : (Self-disclosure) That's a great idea. I love taking walks and bike rides outside when I feel down. I also have a little dog and she helps me whenever I'm feeling lonely- dogs are great at providing comfort and unconditional love.
usr : I just bought my puppy and she is super comforting. I think that because she was a recuse dog I feel a greater attachment. It is kind of nice having her.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) My dog has also helped me meet other people and make friends- sometimes I'll walk my dog with others or go on bike rides with friends. If there is a dog park or local park nearby, maybe you can go and talk to other people there- talking about your dogs is a great icebreaker!
usr : I know about a local dog park and think I will visit it today. That is a really good idea. I don't need a bike for that.
sys : (Information) I'm glad to hear that! I hope you have a great time there! Research has also shown that spending time outside everyday is really good for our mental health.
usr : You are giving me something to think about that isn't related to the break up. I feel like a weight is sort of lifting off of me. I think I needed to talk and get some of my feelings on the table today.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) If you are still interested in getting a bike, I'd say go for it too! Biking is a great stress relief and form of exercise that often makes me feel better.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I am so glad to hear that and am so happy you are talking to me is making you feel better.
usr : Yes, I really want to get one but since I don't have a lot of money right now I will waitr on that and go to the dog park instead. I also heard about yoga iin the park.
sys : (Information) Those are both great ideas! Yoga in the park sounds awesome. Yoga is another great stress reliever and form of exercise that is often free or very inexpensive.
usr : I am feeling like life still goes on and things are going on all around me. I am going to start seeing whats out there and trying to join in a little bit more. My dog is opening a door for me and with your encouragement too.
sys : (Question) I am very glad to hear that. Is there anything else I can help you with today? I am here to listen.
usr : I was thinking about reading self help books or journaling but I was so down on myself.
sys : (Information) Reading and journaling are also great tools to use. Even when you are feeling down it can be helpful to write down your feelings as a form of release.
usr : Thank you for all of your support and understanding today. I am going to journal and then head to the dog park and get some fresh air.
sys : (Others) That sounds like a great plan. Good luck and I hope you continue to feel better.
usr : Thank you again for being a wonderful listener and better friend than my best one.
| (Others) You're very welcome. |

usr : We've been dating 4 years, meeting in high school. Now we're graduated and I've gone to college. He doesn't have a job yet after 1 year.
sys : (Question) Hmm, has he been looking for work, or just laying around playing video games and shit like that?
usr : I've been away at college and just came home on break so I'm not sure. He tells me he is looking but I don't know how it's taking a year to get a job.
sys : (Others) Well, I suppose it's possible that he's been earnestly looking and just not having any luck. Is he kind of a loser in general, or is he a stand-up guy?
usr : He got average grades in school but didn't really miss days from school.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Ok, so it sounds like you're kind of fed up with him in general, and not having a job is maybe just a part of the bigger issue?
usr : That's probably correct. He hasn't been in contact with me as much since I left for school. I just expected more.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) Well, it sounds like you're both in kind of a transitional period in life. It's pretty normal for relationships to not necessarily survive through things like this |

usr : Hello every since I lost my job I have felt sad and useless
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That is an extremely tough situation to go through, I'm sorry to hear that.
usr : Application after application I get rejected, it makes it hard to even fill out more
sys : (Self-disclosure) Yes, job applications can feel particularly demeaning to complete. Personally, I get frustrated with all the repetition and then repetitive rejection. It seems like I had no value.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) But you have to consider that there are dozens of different reasons why you don't get selected for a job, and quite a few of them have nothing to do with you , either as a person or as an employee.
usr : It feels good someone else knows how frustrating and what a cycle it creates but I am also sorry that you do know how it is also.
usr : Thank you for that, it seems most of the jobs I am applying for I am over qualified for which doesn't make sense to me and makes me think it is something personal about me.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) No, don't think that. I know of several employers that have actually said they don't want employees smarter than them. It requires more money and more management, and quite a few people are very happy to not do either of those things for ostensibly higher quality workforce.
| (Question) On an actionable level, have you been getting blocked at the application point or the interviewing point? |

usr : I seem to be getting blocked at application level for employment, it seems my skills are mostly being put out to contract work now, which is not something I am familiar with.
| (Providing Suggestions) I see. Maybe there are some qualification programs in your local area, or maybe at the local university or college where you could take classes? There is a career development center at my local university that is open to everyone, maybe you could see if they would review your resume and give you some objective feedback? Students love a good live subject :-) |

usr : That is my biggest concern at the moment, I cut all of my expenses. I didn;t ask my family but they cut a few things out as well. But I feel that I'm not providing for them.
sys : (Question) It is a really difficult situation to be in, especially as it's through no fault of your own. Would you consider taking on some part time work for a while?
usr : I would, I'm doing odd jobs here and there but no one is really hiring where I live.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) There's a big gig economy out there on the internet - you could always try looking there?
usr : I will try and good into that, I do feel a bit better. I wish I could do more like I used too
sys : (Self-disclosure) The restrictions are really getting me down as well although I understand why they are necessary. Hopefully the year to come will be better for us all.
usr : I hope so, I do feel better and optimistic. I do understand a lot of people are going through what I'm going through.
sys : (Others) I hope I am not being patronising by saying that. I know that just because other people feel bad that doesn't mean you automatically have to cheer up :)
usr : I just forget that everyone is going through tough times, I was feeling down and being hard to myself the past week. But need to realize we are in bad times currently.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe you could plan something fun to do once this is all over - a mini break perhaps? Gives you something to look forward to
usr : Haha I wish, I do have something in mind. Maybe might buy my favorite cigar and whiskey and enjoy myself this weekend.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds like a really great idea! Sometimes even little things can make a big difference to us
usr : Yeah, I should plan a little me time from time to time and destress from everything.

"My job informed me that they will be reducing my hours and not extend my contract.". | sys : (Question) Hello there how are you feeling today?

sys : (Question) I'm very sorry to hear that, did something not go as planned recently?
usr : My friend created a group chat for planning activities and did not include me. She included people who are closer to me than to her. Almost like she is trying to steal my friends.
| (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I see. So when she did this, it gave you the feeling of almost being replaced or abandoned by your own social circle? |

usr : In a way. I was disappointed by the rest of them but mostly angry at her. It almost feels like she wants to be the leader of the group and feels like I am her competition.
| (Reflection of feelings) It's definitely frustrating to feel that your support system could possibly become a source of stress and competition anxiety. Especially since it's where we're supposed to feel safe and unjudged. |

usr : Exactly. They are supposed to be the people I can go to with my problems. Now I feel like they all had a secret which I wasn't privy to and it made me feel disconnected and untrusting towards them.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) It sounds that you're a person who really does care about keeping the relationships they've invested in healthy and open. That care level can definitely cause natural anxiousness in situations like this, when the place you stand with them and what they're thinking suddenly feels uncertain. |
