sys : (Information) Have you thought about trying meditation or focused breathing to calm yourself when you feel spiraling?
usr : I have practiced breathing techniques and meditation before and think that is a great suggestion. At the moment I think the only thing that would ultimately really make me feel better is knowing my friend is okay. He already has health issues so it is a worry.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Absolutely, and it's completely understandable, but it's very hard to wait. I hope that you are able to practice some of the techniques we talked about, and seeking help by talking about it is part of self-care, too. I think you are on the right track to getting through this.
usr : Thank you. That is nice of you to say and I appreciate the support. Just knowing someone has faith that I can do it gives me more confidence
sys : (Self-disclosure) I believe we are all stronger than we give ourselves credit for, and it takes strength and courage to reach out for help.

"friend has possible COVID and going to hospital today for tests". | usr : Hello there
sys : (Question) Hello! How are you doing today?
usr : Not too bad. Been experiencing some anxiety though. It is kind of an ongoing issue for me
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Anxiety can be a real challenge. What have you done to face it in the past that works for you?
usr : I have tried going to support groups and therapy. I also take medications. Despite this I still feel overwhelmed.
sys : (Question) It sounds like you have tried a lot of different methods, so good for you for taking care of yourself. What is overwhelming you?
usr : The situation with COVID is scary. I just found out someone I care about may have the virus. I am a worrier anyways so it is hard not to feel butterflies in my stomach about the issue.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) It is a very scary time we are all living through, so it's very easy to understand your higher anxiety with someone you care about maybe facing it. What can you do to feel better?
usr : I can try to keep myself busy and practice self care. It is hard though because I still worry. Sometimes I feel too worried to do the things necessary to stop it all spiraling
sys : (Information) That's a great way to approach it-- since the time has to pass anyway, you can use it to take care of yourself and move your life forward despite the "pause" of the pandemic.

My ex wife tells them lies about me saying I left them. I came to Tennessee when I found out my mom had cancer and I got out of the military.". | sys : (Question) Hello how are you?
usr : I am down feeling depressed
usr : I feel like the world is crashing down around me

sys : (Question) What seems to have brought it on?
usr : Thinking about my kids and wanting to be able to hug them and see them they are in a different state
usr : I have medications I take but I have so many different things going on
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Oh that is hard being separated from family. Are you unable to t5ravel right now?
usr : I have PTSD, sleep apnea, and numerous other issues I suffer from as well

usr : I think that sounds like a safer choice. I was also hoping if you have suggestions for me personally. I am quite depressed and I am having problems getting through the day.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I suggest taking one step at a time. I wouldn't rush through things. I would suggest sitting down and talking through some things that are going on. Maybe taking some time away from work. Going out and spending time with each other as much as you can.
| (Information) If you guys think you may need a marriage counselor, I highly recommend it. I think it would be a great start. |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"My marriage of 10 years is currently failing.". | sys : (Others) Hello.
usr : Hello
sys : (Question) How are you today?
usr : Really bad. My 10 year marriage is failing. Things have not gotten better.
sys : (Question) What happened?
usr : That's the thing. Nothing really happened. No cheating, drugs, or abuse. I suppose the euphoria has worn off, and she just doesn't find me interesting anymore.
sys : (Information) I understand how you feel. Have you guys tried spending more time with each other? Maybe going out on dates?
usr : Maybe we haven't done this enough in the past. We both had busy careers. I tried initiating this last year, but without success. Maybe, I was too late.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Its never too late to put spice back into the relationship.
usr : I hope you're right. Do you have other suggestions about how to do so?
sys : (Information) Show her that your still love because by being spontaneous. Surprise her with gifts. Maybe take her on a random vacation somewhere. Have a deep conversation about how you are feeling and that you still love her and want her in your life.
sys : (Information) It might take a little bit but its better to try than not to try at all.
usr : I think your suggestions are very helpful. A vacation is currently out of the picture due to COVID. I want to try having deep conversations, but I don't know where to start.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Start by talking about whats going on. Tell her how you think you guys should spend more time with her. Or that you dont want to lose her. Ask her if there is anything she might want to discuss. She maybe having issues shes afraid to talk about.
usr : I think you hit upon something. She is quite hesitant in talking about issues. Do you have any thoughts about marriage counselling? We've never tried that.
sys : (Information) I think that would be a good idea. Having the chance to get things out and getting more advice is always helpful. Make sure you leave any issues at common ground.
usr : If my wife is the one having issues with conversations, do you think a male or female therapist/counsellor would be better? I want her to feel comfortable expressing herself.
sys : (Information) Most likely a female therapist would be better. Nobody understands a woman more than a woman.
usr : I think that sounds like a safer choice. I was also hoping if you have suggestions for me personally. I am quite depressed and I am having problems getting through the day.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I suggest taking one step at a time. I wouldn't rush through things. I would suggest sitting down and talking through some things that are going on. Maybe taking some time away from work. Going out and spending time with each other as much as you can.
sys : (Information) If you guys think you may need a marriage counselor, I highly recommend it. I think it would be a great start.
usr : Thank you very much for your response. You have been very helpful. Perhaps, one last question - my wife and I have been hiding our problems away from our teen-age son. Do you agree that we should continue to keep it from him?
| (Information) Depending on the nature, I think you should let him know whats going on. He may already know. |
