Emotion: disgust
Problem: academic pressure
Situation: I cannot paint at art school

assistant: Hello there, how are you feeling today?

user: uninspired. broken. a rock. a static object. bananas

assistant: Well, that's a start. Do I hear you saying that you're confused at the moment?

user: not confused. frustrated that I have to produce art for marks when I am not inspired

assistant: Ah I hear you, education can be both wonderful and difficult can't it? What are you supposed to produce?

user: painting after painting. like I am an ikea machine, photocopying picasos for A's

assistant: I can imagine that that is very frustrating. Would you consider switching majors?

user: What is life but a stage. Art is life. I love art. no

assistant: Ah Shakespeare, a great favourite. I have had times when I have felt that there was no point in continuing with my studies too but it tends to pass Can you keep reminding yourself that this is for the good of your future and one day it will pay off?

user: does the sun now set and then rise again. Does the spring not come after winter. Yet I cannot see how art will give me grades.

assistant: Well, I am assuming that you want to go into an artistic field on graduation?

user: yes, but no like a 9-5 job. perhaps i am yet another art failure. art has no time

assistant: I think you are putting yourself down unnecessarily. Many people do make a lucrative career from an art qualification I would urge you to keep working to the best of your ability and see what happens

user: you speak the truth. I will again pick up my brush and see where my inspiration takes me. oh it has been a joy talking to you

assistant: Have you ever tried searching for information about careers in your field? We still have a few minutes left :) There are a lot of different ways in which you can use an art degree!

user: Yes. we do. I will call my newest work the brilliant support of mturk! pls give me more inspriation

assistant: That sounds like a definite winner :) I see a Turner prize beckoning in your future

user: wow. Turner. are you in the UK? is the UK

assistant: Yes I am, where are you?

user: USA

assistant: Ah .. well hopefully things will pick up for you next year. Well it's been lovely talking, I wish you all the best!

user: The quest for the Turner starts now. goods travels to you chap!
Emotion: sadness
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: I broke up with my partner prior to this pandemic. I've been feeling lonely ever since.

user: Hi.

assistant: Hello. How are you doing these days?

user: Not good. You?

assistant: I am sorry to hear that. I am doing fine and hope I can cheer you up.

user: Good to hear. Been feeling lonely due to this pandemic.

assistant: I totally understand it. I felt lonely too by staying home all the time. But I found we can borrow books online. A good book can really help.

user: Do you mean physical or ebooks?

assistant: Both will help. But ebooks are easier to get and you don't need to contact anyone and anything outside your home.

user: Any genres you would suggest?

assistant: I like biographies. Stories of real people are inspiring.

user: Oh ok. I was thinking about getting a dog, is that a good idea?

assistant: That is a great idea! Dog is human's best friend. I would love to have a dog myself.

user: Do you have any dogs?

assistant: I don't have a dog, because I like to travel. However I have taken care of other people's dogs a lot when I am home.

user: Oh ok. There is a lock down from where I live, how about you?

assistant: We are in similar situation. These days I only go out for grocery shopping.

user: Same situation. I fear for the worse. Economy seems to be on a downturn.

assistant: Yeah, economy cannot do well if this situation drags on. Hope the vaccine will soon be approved and life can be back to normal.

user: When do you think things will go back to normal?

assistant: Based on the news and information I read, I think things should get better by the next spring.
Emotion: anger
Problem: problems with friends
Situation: My friend is not treating me the way that a friend is supposed to be treating me

user: Hello I am having pro\blems with a friend

assistant: I am so so sorry to hear that. What has been going on?

user: Sometimes she is very friendly, but sometimes she is super rude In a way that is so rude that it has never happened before by someone who I consider a friend

assistant: Oh wow, it sounds like shes not a very good frined.

user: As nice as she is, every once in a while show will be equally nasty

assistant: Have you tried talking to her about it?

user: Super snarky comments Yes I have tried But it still continues

assistant: Have you tried seperating from her?

user: I can't she is a colleague So unless I want to get a new job but she is super helpful and nice 99 percent of the time And when I have spoken with her, the last time I was very clear with her that it was inappropriate, and it hasn't been happening as often, but the whole situation is still very hurtful

assistant: That's so hurtful. Do others feel the same as you?

user: Yes, I have heard these complaints from one other person Do you have any ideas or other suggestions for me

assistant: Maybe you can try talking to yoru manager next time it happens? It is hard but you can only really control yourself, so you need to try to emotionally distance yourself from when she is terrible. You seem like a good persn.

user: That is a good idea to talk to a manager but there is no avoiding working with her because of the nature of my job but that is an option that I didn't considerr before so thatnk you for your insight Thank you that is very nice Let me know if you have any other ideas as well

assistant: Of course!! managers are erally helpful. I had a similar sitation with a coworker two years ago and the head of my group really helped me clear it up.

user: Did you try other things as well

assistant: I tried really hard not to let her get to me. Which was really hard but doable.

user: Oh that is good, sometimes when a person sees that they are not getting under your skin they give up on pushing your buttons, was that what happened in your case

assistant: Exactly!!!!

user: How long did it take from starting to ending the issues
Emotion: depression
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: I have caught my BF cheating on me with his best friend that he told me not to worry about

assistant: Hello

user: Hi

assistant: how are you?

user: Not too good sadly:/

assistant: I'm sorry. what's going on?

user: My and my long term boyfriend just ended Turns out he was cheating on me for the past 3 months with his best friend :(

assistant: whoa, that's pretty messed up! how long were you together?

user: Tell me about! We were planning on moving in together next year

assistant: wow, I definitely wouldn't go through with that then. Are you sure he was cheating?

user: I noticed a few signs and confronted him about it He didn’t even deny it ! He wasn’t remorseful at all... it’s like he doesn’t even love me How can you love someone yet betray the, somquiclu So quickly **

assistant: did he admit to it? I would agree that he probably doesn't feel the way you want him to.

user: Not at all

assistant: but you know for certain?

user: Yes HE ADMITTED IT

assistant: oh gotcha. yeah that is really messed up. how long were you two together?

user: We were together for 3 years I don’t know how he could just toss it down the drain

assistant: That's horrible. Have you been able to talk to friends about it?

user: No, that’s why I’m talking to u I haven’t been able to eat or sleep in a few days

assistant: Do you have any friends who you can talk to it about it? Some people around you who know you really well?

user: No he was my everything

assistant: You definitely need to eat and sleep even though you don't feel like it. You have to take care of yourself even though it feels hard. Guys are a dime a dozen. I don't know what that really means but I think it has something to do with being able to get guys easily.

user: I know..it’s hard when everything reminds me of him

assistant: I think if you really focus on what you need right now, you'll be able to realize that you dodged a bullet. You don't want to be with a cheater. you should want to be with someone who respects you and treats you well

user: Are righ... it just sucks i have to start all over again
Emotion: sadness
Problem: problems with friends
Situation: My friend suddenly stopped talking to me and i do not know the reason

assistant: hi how are you today?

user: Not good,i am very sad

assistant: i'm sorry. whats making you sad?

user: My friend just stopped talking to me and she won't tell me the reason why

assistant: has she communicated via text or messanger? or has all communication stopped?

user: She stopped communicating completely.Doesn't even reply to me texts

assistant: i'm so sorry to hear that. i had a friend do that to me right after the spring pandemic lockdown. did this happen recently?

user: Yes,just this past week.How did you deal with your situation?

assistant: i was upset, but then after thinking about it more , i figured she just was overwhelmed with everything going on. i gave her the benefit of the doubt and texted happy birthday this summer and didn't hear anything back can you think of anything going on with her that might cause her to stop communicating?

user: That's too bad.I suppose that one should be able to let the other person know when you no ;longer want to be friends with them.That way one can move on quickly. I am completely unaware.We haven't had any argument of late so i am completely clueless.Wish she would just reach out

assistant: i can imagine it's hard to put those feeling into words when you want to move on.

user: Exactly.Do you know of any online resources that one can use to get through such situations?

assistant: but, it's left you feeling sad. how are things going otherwise?

user: The other areas of my life are doing good.Just that the sadness is getting to me at times

assistant: i don't know of any specific resources. i'm sorry. however, its good that things are going well otherwise. how are relationships with others in your life going? i have found that I focusd on other friendships more since my friend ghosted me.

user: The other relationships are good even though i'm now more wary of people because i don't know who could leave my life at any moment without notice

assistant: that's understandable but just because one person has left doesn't mean that others will

user: Yes it doesn't.But still,you never know who to trust anymore.

assistant: trust is tricky. do you know brene brown? the researcher, author, TED talk researcher?

user: No i don't.Please tell me about him

assistant: She researches shame and vunerablilty. I find her very inspriring.

user: Will check her out immediately.Infact,let me do that now

assistant: there's a great video on youtube where she talks about empathy. little cartoon animals
Emotion: anxiety
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: Ongoing anxiety about small things but seem to be much bigger in my head.

assistant: Hello! How are you today?

user: Much better than normal, even though the stock market is down.

assistant: Are you an investor?

user: I am a student that tries to put as much money into as possible.

assistant: I can certainly understand the struggle with being at that stage in life. Has this affected you negatively?

user: No the stock market really doesn't cause stress for me, mostly just small things that I think my brain overreacts to.

assistant: What sorts of things?

user: Kind of a variety of things. I typically get bad anxiety after a night of going out. So I am trying to cut out drinking.

assistant: So you feel that the drinking itself gives you the anxiety? Do you suffer from anxiety when you do not drink ever?

user: Sometimes but I think the root from them comes from when I do something while I'm drinking. Not that I do anything bad, but I just don't like not remembering things.

assistant: So you would say that you drink to the point of blacking out? Or you just seem to get foggy on details when you've had a reasonable amount of alcohol?

user: I used to black out a lot, but I have tried to control it by cutting the former amount of drinks I consumed in half, if I do choose to go out.

assistant: I have drank to the point of blacking out several times in my life mostly when I was younger and I found that it either came from a certain type of alcohol or mixing different types. Have you noticed it could be related to that or simply the amount of alcohol you are drinking?

user: It is typically the amount I'm drinking, but cutting out drinking as a whole has probably helped me the most.

assistant: Certainly making sure that you only drink a certain amount like a couple drinks of beer or only a shot of harder drinks might alleviate this or refraining from mixing drinks. Sometimes also it could be due to the company you keep...the amount you drink. Do your friends encourage you to drink more?

user: They don't necessarily attempt to get me to drink more in volume, but I do have to tell them I'm not gonna go out for the night.

assistant: Are they okay with it when you decline?

user: Yes after one or two statements they give up.

assistant: Okay so they ask you a couple of times and then they move on. That's good that they don't push you too much. Certainly keep with it if not drinking helps you to not make bad decisions. I'm sure you have other interests in life that maybe you could drag your friends out to enjoy so that might help...sober fun! Also if you find that you're struggling with not drinking that might be a time to look for support. Maybe see a therapist as there may be psychological reasons you can not refrain from drinking. Maybe look into a group like AA or something similar to share your struggles with others.

user: Thanks for the ideas and the help, have a good day

Emotion: depression
Problem: job crisis
Situation: I recently lost my job due to a disability. I have not been able to get another job.

assistant: Good day. How is the weather?

user: cold and snowy here

assistant: Not to warm here Where do you live

user: PA

assistant: That is a cold state. How can I help you today?

user: going through a depression due to a job loss

assistant: That is understandable. Was it because of the virus

user: No. I was hurt at work

assistant: PA got hit hard with the virus

user: yep

assistant: were you covered by workman's comp

user: yeah. I went to court due to it but they sided with the employer so I lost my job

assistant: I am in Georgia heading to Virginia. Heavy virus there

user: which?

assistant: How bad were you injured

user: i have permanent spinal injuries

assistant: Virginia is hard hit

user: hopefully vaccine is avail soon

assistant: Wow and the court sided with the employer

user: yeah they paid a dr to say i wasn't injured

assistant: You can draw unemployment and disability

user: i applied for disability but didn't get it

assistant: Did you have a lawyer yourself

user: yes. had my own dr stating i was injured but it didn't matter

assistant: Social Security stopped you. Why?

user: i'm not injured enough for them

assistant: You can file against the company if you can prove neglect in the employer. . Were there proper safety guards

user: I tried but since it is the state of PA they have immunity no

assistant: So it was a state injury, there must be an avenue you can use to prove neglect.

user: I was told that I assumed the risk of injury working for them. It was a mental hospital

assistant: have you contacted OSHA and filed a complaint with them?

user: not yet. I should

assistant: There should be an avenue for you to seek compensation.

user: The lawyer fought with them for over a year. There was even an appeal but I lost that too.

assistant: It is unfortunate that safety is not a factor. It was a state hospital?

user: yes

assistant: Did a patient attack you?

user: yes

assistant: There must be liability concerning your injury.

user: I can't go after the patient because they are mentally incompetent so I'm out of ideas.

assistant: But what about the family?

user: I don't know if the person had one anymore.

assistant: Is the patient a ward of the state

user: yes

assistant: So the patient's family either gave the person up or the patient was placed there by the state right?

user: he was placed there by the court after committing a crime

assistant: . Then he must be a threat to other people. It seems the state should be held liable for negligence.

user: Oh I agree. There were many dangerous patients there and no recourse for the staff. I was injured 5 times in the years I worked there. This last one was the end for me. I couldn't work anymore due to pain.

assistant: Can you work from home for yourself?

user: I have been applying for those kind of jobs but haven't had any luck yet.

assistant: There are companies hiring.
