sys : (Question) Exams are a stressful time. What seems to be the problem?
usr : I do not feel like I am properly prepared, even though I have studied.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I can assure you that countless students including myself have gone through the trials of studying for exams and do feel overwhelmed but it passes.
sys : (Question) Have you studied?
usr : I have studied. However, I still feel like I am not prepared. One big problem is that I have no quiet place to study.

| (Affirmation and Reassurance) If it helps you study then the library may be worth the time and effort. Sometimes we can stress out over worrying about not having enough time to study. But trust the work you have done and you will know if it is enough. |

usr : thank you for saying that. I quit my job to focus on her healing, and i don't want to go back to work now.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have not experienced anything like this to be honest....the closest I can recall is encouraging my daughter to do something, and then she got hurt, and I blamed myself and felt like a bad mother
sys : (Question) how is your daughter doing now?
usr : She is healing well, she has a moderate TBI (traumatic brain injury) so there is still so much uncertainty. It sucks to blame ourselves for things that happen to our kids.
sys : (Question) the fact that you felt the need to quit your job shows how deeply this has affected you...do you miss your work?
usr : No. And I'm completely dreading going back to work. I wish I could somehow get paid to exist so that I can just stay home with my daughter all day.

"My daughter was hit by a car and I'm having depression over it.". | usr : Hello
sys : (Others) hi my name is Lisa, how are you?
usr : I'm struggling to make it through the day. My daughter was hit by a car in September and the traumatic experience is weighing heavy on my brain.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) it sounds like you are feeling troubled after your daughter's car accident am I right?
usr : Troubled would not be the word I would use, but it wasn't a car accident. She was hit by a car in the street outside of my house.
usr : She was coming home from school. She is only 5.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) that sounds like it would be a very traumatic experience, it's no wonder this is hard for you, it would be hard for anyone in this situation
usr : I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning.
sys : (Question) How would you use to describe your feelings about this accident?
usr : I would say that I am anxious all the time. She survived, but she had some serious injuries after. I feel like a part of me died that day, the part that thought I could protect her no matter what. I would say that I'm also feeling ashamed because it was out of my control.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It sounds like you are dealing with a lot...it is normal to feel anxious about it
usr : Is that how you would feel?
sys : (Others) and it's hard not to blame ourselves, but please remember this was outside your control

| (Providing Suggestions) I see. I wonder if you have spoken to a doctor about how you feel? Struggling to get through the day must be so difficult. I wonder if it might be helpful to get screened for depression |

sys : (Reflection of feelings) I understand. Video calls can feel a bit less personal sometimes. Do you live alone?
usr : Unfortunately I do. Thus it contributes to the loneliness. And I work from home.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I see. So you aren't even getting that social contact at work really. Do you video chat to your family and friends regularly?
usr : I do but I’m getting tired of video chatting. It’s just not the same. It’s tough, especially with the holidays approaching.
| (Self-disclosure) I feel the same way. Having to keep in contact with friends through video has been difficult lately. I try to find something to do while we're chatting, like gaming or a quiz |

sys : (Reflection of feelings) it can be stressful but a positive stress. remember you are researching how to help yourself and feel better!
usr : That's true, it's working towards an end goal of feeling like myself again. You are right.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) you'll be okay. i know its hard to stay positive, but i think you are doing pretty good
usr : Thanks for that, it makes a difference to hear some encouragement.
sys : (Others) i think we all need to support eachother during these uncertain times. at least with the vaccine there is a light at the end of the tunnel for a lot of people! :)
usr : I don't want to overwhealm myself, but I think I'll go grab a coffee and take a look into Vitamin D and St Johns Wort now. I like the idea of using supplements and seeing how they work for me before moving onto heavier antidepressants.
usr : That's true, I'm just hoping the end of the tunnel isn't too far away. Can't face another summer locked inside with nothing to do!
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Sounds good! Enjoy your coffee and the rest of your day! :)
usr : Thanks, I will do. And thanks again for your help.
| (Self-disclosure) o man. i went crazy last summer. i did the dumbest thing to get myself out of the funk |
