assistant: whats been the weirdest part of the pandemic for you?

user: So I live with my boyfriend and my bestfriend. And I am afraid they are doing skethy stuff behind my back It sounds crazy, and I don't have any proof but I have this feeling. The way they talk around each other makes me nervous

assistant: hmm, tell me more. what do you think is going on?

user: I'm scared when it is just the two of them here at home. And they are jsut so much more friendly together than before we moved in

assistant: living together can make people more comfortable with each other. has there been something specific that has caused you to wonder about them>

user: Not really specifics. It's more of a just in general sort of thing. I know them both really really well, so I am just picking up on tiny little details

assistant: i hear you. have you said anything to either one of them?

user: I have talked to my boyfriend, but he just tells me that it's crazy I would think something like that. Idk... I don't want to sound crazy and blow it out of proportion if it's really nothing. I don't know if there is actually something I should be worried about, or if I am thinking these crazy thoughts for other reasons

assistant: having doubts about relationships is rough. do you know brene brown?

user: I don't know who that is

assistant: she researches shame and vunerability

user: Does she do live talks or videos? Or is she more in online writing

assistant: she has a great TED talk!

user: Oh that's cool! I will have to check that out. So you think maybe I am feeling this way is because I have shame or vulnerability in the relationship?

assistant: anyway, i find her imspirational when I have doubts no, not really it's the doubting that is likely what's bothering you the most - the unknown

user: Yeah.. that's true. I think it's a good idea to learn more about how I'm feeling before I make any rash decisions

assistant: that's wise. theres a great youtube video with cartoon animals where brene talks about empathy

user: Ohhh wait I think I have seen that one haha It was shown in my class in like 9th grade

assistant: things are weird for everyone right now emotions are running high, covid is running rampant, it's a mess and understandable that we are all stressed

assistant: Perhaps you havent searched well enough, have you gone to many interviews?

user: yes I did do a lot of interveiws but no one hired me

Emotion: sadness
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: I broke up with my girlfriend yesterday. I had been with her for years and now living life without her feels heart breaking.

assistant: Hello, is there anything I can help you with today?

user: I am really depressed because of my recent break up

assistant: Oh no, that is really sad. I know break ups can be very hard.

user: yeah

assistant: Why do you feel you are depressed about it? Were you together a long time?

user: i was with her for more then 2 years and without her everthing seems incomplete

assistant: I completely understand. I have had break ups too. They are never easy.

user: what should i do now?

assistant: Well, if the break up is still fresh, it will take some time before you start feeling yourself again. Breaking up with someone can be as devastating as a death. Because you mourn the loss of the person. What do you think you could do to help yourself feel better?

user: that is very true what i need right now is to distract my mind and think about something else

assistant: What kind of hobbies do you have? Or are you involved in sports or any type of other activities that you enjoy?

user: i mostly play soccer

assistant: That could be a great distraction. You could start practicing soccer again. You definitely have more time for it now. Do you have anyone you can talk to about the break up? Sometimes talking with a close friend or family member can help a lot too.

user: I have my best friend and he is also helping me recover but my main issue is inner will power

assistant: Why do you say that? Are you focused on trying to get back with them?

user: My mind is just not accepting the change

assistant: That is difficult. What caused the break up? Was it mutual? Or was it one sided?

user: it was one sided and that is why it's so problematic anyways

assistant: Ok, so your ex broke up with you. Did they give you a reason why? Or did they just say it's over and that was it?

user: yeah I'll try my best to do what i can
Emotion: sadness
Problem: Procrastination
Situation: Currently I live with my sibling because I couldn't afford rent, so it is saddening to me. I don't have my own time for day to day activities with my kids.

assistant: Hi there, how are you feeling today?

user: Hi like I said a bit down

assistant: I did not see that, I am sorry. Do you want to talk about it? It might help.

user: Ohh thank you for the offer. Proscanation is my thing i guess, and this days I am paying for it

assistant: Is it affecting your work or your home life?

user: Yes it affects everything.

assistant: Can you give me an example of something that has been affected recently? For instance, I had been putting off cleaning my house and then some friends dropped by without warning and I was mortified.

user: I didn't meet deadline a year back, and lost my job. Now I couldn't even pay rents. Living with a sibling.

assistant: That sounds bad. Have you considered you might be suffering from depression?

user: Probably

assistant: You sound quite lethargic. I think you should see a GP?

user: Thank you

assistant: Do you feel as though life is hopeless and there is no way forward?

user: No no no ... me the super optimist

assistant: Well that is something :) What are you looking forward to?

user: Will achieve my goals with proscanation or not

assistant: What sort of goals have you set for yourself?

user: I have pills of written works, short stories, poetry novels and a few paintings, but not published yet. I might do that

assistant: Well that sounds very creative! You should definitely publish

user: There is always "next year" so I am waiting for it...

assistant: No no do it now. You might have written a best seller and not know it.

user: Thanks for talking to me, very supportive.

assistant: You are more than welcome. I hope you feel a little reassured now.

user: Yeah. nice talking to you. Will leave you now.
Emotion: anxiety
Problem: job crisis
Situation: My business is suffering because of the pandemic. I'm very worried I won't be able to pay my bills soon.

assistant: hello, what is on your mind today?

user: I am so stressed out because my business has suffered this year. I am very worried I may have to close and I won't be able to pay my bills.

assistant: that is really tough. a lot of people are going through that, you are not alone what kind of business do you have?

user: I sell cosmetics. I think a lot of people don't have money to buy non essential items right now.

assistant: christmas is right around the corner though, and it is almost the 15th. military get paid the 1st and 15th so there is still hope for a christmas rush! tax season is right around the corner too... there is defineately still reason to keep hope

user: That might be true. I just don't know that business will ever recover.

assistant: are you online or in store?

user: Mostly online.

assistant: thats great then, online businesses are less likely to fail you know, i am in construction and there are soo many zoom meetings. honestly, i was in an office with 4 people and hardly wore make up. now with all these meetings i amd doing meetings constantly and i have had to start wearing more make up to look more profesional i know it can be scry, but you ust have to keep a positive attitude

user: Yeah we don't have to shut down. But with so many people struggling to make ends meet, there just doesn't seem to be enough left over to buy extra things. and that's true. There are people on zooms that want to wear makeup.

assistant: also, i think it depends on where you are in the world. covid hit my area really hard around april/may, but things are completely back to normal now. people hardly wear masks, stores are open, it just takes time

user: That's definitely not the case here. But I can see what you mean.

assistant: maybe you could distritubute samples to hospitals for the nurses as a christmas present. put your card in. you KNOW they have job stability and it could lead to sales!

user: That's something to think about.

assistant: if you have a facebook page you can always make a post saying you are giving back to the community by giving the essential workers chrismas gifts.... it could make people in your community want to support you back!

user: Yeah that's true too.

assistant: i think you will be fine. you are resourceful, you are supplementing income with mturk, thats awesome. you seem to have a good head on your shoulders
