Emotion: sadness
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: My boyfriend was disrespectful. he went ahead to cheat on me with the particular girl i warned him about seeing. he lied about it even after being caught and tried to emotionally blackmail me with it still.

assistant: Hi! How are you?

user: Hello i am okay and you?

assistant: I'm well. What's going on?

user: I just wanted to talk about my recent heartbreak

assistant: What happened? What happened?

user: My boyfriend cheat on me with my close friend i wouldnt say close tho but because i know her i had warned him about her]

assistant: OMGoodness! That's awful. I've been through the same.

user: but typical men, they would still disrespect you with anyone in skirts i dont know why a grown ass man cannot be decisive

assistant: Unfortunately men have earned a reputation as jerks for that reason. Are you still together or have you left?

user: Its crazy and just when you think you found one with his brain intact, he finds a way to embarrass you i called it quits Im not even sure who should take the higher percentage of my anger, the stupid girl or the stupid boy

assistant: Good for you! I know that it must've been painful, but I don't think anyone deserves to go through it on repeat...

user: really though.. was a stressful time

assistant: Well, they probably deserve an equal percentage of that anger...

user: after being caught slipping, he tried to lie his way out of it that's the funny thing. they ain't even together. The said girl has her own boyfriend

assistant: However, YOU deserve to have the freedom of choosing to forgive and forget them both. The resentment that's building inside you is just like a poiso\ n that YOU'RE drinking in hopes that THEY get sick from it.

user: Im moving on. I have refused to let that define me or my moods i also havent spoken to anyone about it i dont think its necessary

assistant: Revenge is a dish best served to the trash! There's no relief in bitterness. Might as well let it go, move on an move up from there!

user: right on that never even thought of revenge. that would mean i didnt have a life of my own

assistant: I think you're handling the whole thing well. You're very intelligent and emotionally mature. It's his own dumb loss and hers too!

user: right about that

assistant: Ha! well said about revenge \

user: yes yes

assistant: Certainly he's just a punk and probably has some underlying issues that he needs to deal with. Her too, really! Punk and all lol, But you? You're strong, resilient and capable! You have a great grip on this whole adulting thing here, and its admirable how well you've handles the ordeal
Emotion: sadness
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: girlfriend broke my heart

user: Hi, my girlfriend just broke my heart

assistant: That stinks. I understand how that can hurt. How long had you been together?

user: we've been together for 5 years.

assistant: And how did she break your heart?

user: through email. so it hurts even harder

assistant: So it sounds like she broke up with you over email rather than face to face or even a call. Not very considerate.

user: yeah couldn't even do it face to face I'm so hurt

assistant: From talking with you I can tell this has been a real blow and need to find a way to move on.

user: yes it has broke my heart into a million pieces

assistant: I've had that happen before to me a few times. It's just the absolute worst feeling.

user: definitely is. what should I do to get my mind off this awful breakup

assistant: One of your first thoughts might be to get back out there, but really the best thing to do is to start doing things that you like, and that improve you personally.

user: ok perfect. that will keep my mind occupied

assistant: Do you enjoy any hobbies, or going to the gym? If so, that might be a great place to start.

user: yes I do. I like playing basketball with friends

assistant: That's perfect, and a great way to get your mind off her while having fun at the same time.

user: yes it will. but damn it sucks . I will take your advice two more to go

assistant: Glad to hear it. Also, once you feel you're ready, there are plenty of ways to meet new girls. There's the obvious places like online dating or bars, but also some not so obvious like the farmers market or shopping I hope it works out for you in the end. I'm sure it will!

user: you there?
Emotion: anxiety
Problem: academic pressure
Situation: COVID-19 has changed the way we learn and the last year has been really difficult. I don't feel as connected in my classes and I plan to apply to grad school. I don't know how this will affect me as I begin to think about programs to apply to next year.

user: Hi, I have a bit of anxiety as a college student learning during the pandemic. I'm nervous about applying for grad schools.

assistant: Hello, how are you?

user: Hi! I'm doing ok, how about you? Are you still there?

assistant: I'm good, thanks for asking. Why are you worried about applying for grad schools? Yes i am here.

user: It has been difficult to stay focused in classes this last year with distance learning and just dealing with anxiety and loneliness. My grades suffered a little.

assistant: I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have any friends or family you talk to?

user: Not really, I live with my older sister and she's an essential worker, so I don't want to trouble her.

assistant: Maybe you can try and talk to her, your sister probably wants someone to talk to too.

user: That makes sense. It's just that times are tough right now for everyone. Not sure what to do about the grad school applications. I need some motivation to get started on these applications... This is going to be rough haha Any tips for writing the personal statement?

assistant: Alright well what is the problem with grad school application.

user: Motivation to get started, and just staying on track with completing them

assistant: What is your major?

user: Thanks, that will be helpful to decide on the programs I want to apply to Are you based in the US?

assistant: You welcome. and yes

user: How have you been handling your anxiety during the pandemic? I could use some tips!

assistant: some things you can do is try to do the things that makes you happy and stay positive through this time.

Emotion: anxiety
Problem: Sleep Problems
Situation: I have trouble getting to sleep on time. Also when I wake up in the middle of the night I can't fall back asleep.

user: Hello

assistant: Hello my name is Sue, how are you today?

user: I am ok. Just very sleepy.

assistant: Why are you sleepy? Long day?

user: I have been having trouble getting to sleep on time.

assistant: Oh I see, so you aren't getting enough sleep am I right?

user: Yes. I find it hard to fall asleep. This happens most nights

assistant: What typically happens when you try to go to sleep? Is it hard to quiet your mind?

user: I just feel anxious and sometimes I don't even know why. But yes my mind keeps going.

assistant: Not sleeping well is a problem I have on and off as well, and I have found those next days so tiring and frustrating. If you like I can share some of the things that have helped me?

user: Yes please. Maybe something you did could help me too. Did you also have trouble quieting your mind?

assistant: I use this great free podcast called Tracks to Relax, it has guided meditations that really help me get to sleep. The seem to shut down my mind when I am thinking too much at bedtime. Which can happen to me some nights, anxieties can keep me awake. The host's voice is super soothing and he spirits you away to the beach or the woods and before you know it you're out! I also have strict bedtime/waketime that I follow, it's set up on my cellphone. No more sleepign in, because that just made it harder for me to get to sleep the next night.

user: That sounds like something I could try. Did you just google Tracks to Relax?

assistant: um I think there may be a website but I found it by opening up the Podcast app on my phone and doing a search.. There are premium options but I just use the free stuff do you use spotify?

user: I have in the past. Is it on Spotify?

assistant: um i am not sure let me check real quickly, one moment

user: That is very nice of you Thank you

assistant: yes it is! you are welcome

user: How long does it go for?

assistant: The reason I brought up spotify is that sometimes I listen to a playlist on there called "Gentle Lapping Waves" which is super relaxing...and I set my cellphone to turn it off after half an hour or so. As for Tracks to Relax I think most are about 40 minutes? To be honest I am not sure. I fall asleep midway through hehe do you have someone you can talk to about your anxieties like a counsellor?

user: I do not. But I will try with the podcast. It is easy and free. And if it gets worse I can look into getting professional help. Thank you for listening to me and thank you for your recommendations.

assistant: OH another trick I use to get the thoughts "out of my head" is journaling. You are so welcome, it's been a pleasure talking with you. All the best in your quest for a good night's sleep :)

user: That is a good idea too! Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your day.

Situation: Being stuck at home all day with 3 kid and barely able to leave the house. I am feeling so overwhelmed and exhausted.

user: Hello? I'm so emotionally exhausted all the time lately.

assistant: Hi. It sounds like your having a hard time. Is the stuff going on that could be contributing to this?

user: With Covid going on and school being from home my house is so chaotic all day and I can never get any peace. I feel like I'm always going and never stop

assistant: My own kid has been home through all this too so I understand.

user: There is always something going on and I miss quite and chances to just relax without having to tend to someone else all the time

assistant: Have you tried to talk to your spouse and see if you can have some you time? Maybe have them take the kids out so you can rest.

user: I feel so guilty doing that though. Like what is the point when I know when he leaves I'll feel horrible and then end up like cleaning the whole house or something.

assistant: I used to be like that too until i found a hobby I enjoyed so I could have something just for me.

user: I used to love doing art things but I haven't done anything in a few years. I do miss it what are some things your like to do?

assistant: I think you should try to get back into that. maybe it will help your find yourself a little bit more again. I like to get out and hike. I also really enjoy painting for fun

user: I think I might do that. Thank you for making me think to do something i have let fall by the wayside. I love being outdoors. My husband works a lot so we can only really get out one or twice a week because we only have one care and i think being stuck inside all the time is really what is causing my feelings.

assistant: It sounds like you have a lot going on at home and with the way of the world right now I think your are trying your hardest.

user: Thank you so much. It is nice to hear some support.

assistant: It sounds like your stressed a lot and just having a little trouble finding your way forward. They say getting outside and getting sun helps with your mood and demeaner. Have your tried just walking around the block a few times a week?

user: I am. I would love to get outside but some times it hard. I do know that i should try a little harder. Thank you for talking to me

assistant: Of course. I am glad i could help. Do you feel like this has helped you?

assistant: Hello

user: hi

assistant: how may i help you today?

user: my girlfriend broke up with me

assistant: why?

user: she taught i was cheating on her

assistant: Was you?

user: no i wasn't

assistant: what made her think you was?

user: she saw our chat history which honestly looks incriminating

assistant: why do you feel that way?

user: because we kind of flirt with each other

assistant: ok i am a little confused. you saw who chat history with who?

user: my girlfriend saw my chat with another woman

assistant: ok i understand now. What was you and this other woman talking about? I understand how you are feeling breakups are hard going through

user: favorite sexual position yes, i am feeling very sad at the moment

assistant: That does sound incriminating I am sorry you going through this Have you tried talking to her and apologized for your actions

user: i tried to but she is not giving me the chance

assistant: Maybe you should give her some space for a while and let her get her thoughts together and then try to talk to her

user: but how long will that space be

assistant: maybe a couple days

user: its been up to a week already

assistant: maybe you try to talk to her again today

user: i am planning on it

assistant: if that does not work then maybe it will be best to just focus on yourself i know how hard that can be but sometimes its for the best

user: that will be hard because i am soo used to her being around

assistant: I can understand that but the only way you can work it out with her if both of you two just talk

user: yes you are right

assistant: I suggest you try to talk to her today and let her know how you are feeling

Emotion: anxiety
Problem: job crisis
Situation: A few things happened in my office that on and off stressed me out, including an odd pay period and a hostile coworker.

user: Hi good afternoon, I am seeking support for my anxiety related to my job Is this something you can help me with?

assistant: Hey there, please do share! I would love to help! Why is your job causing you to have anxiety?

user: Wonderful! My job is causing me some stress and anxiety. Everything is usually good except for my one coworker who tries to boss me around. She is very unhelpful and hypocritical You cannot even talk to her without her interrupting or being rude. I am trying to find a better way to deal with the situation

assistant: I see, so you have difficulty dealing with a co-worker. Let ask, Is there anyway of talking to her about her behavior? Also does she behave this way with others?

user: Yes, I believe she has an aggressive personality and there wouldn't be much of a difference in the way she acts or speaks to others. She never listens I could try to have a conversation but in the past it has been difficult

assistant: What I do recommend is contacting a mediator or someone from HR and having a sit down. Since clearly this is affecting you at work and outside of it. Talking to HR should help. What do you think?

user: That is a good recommendation, I have tried to relax and relieve stress in other outlets and not let it get to me or take it personally Our office is small so it would likely just be my boss who I have mentioned it to before. I think of it as she may not be working here that much longer and is only part time now

assistant: Honestly don't let it stress you out, don't bring issues at work back home. I also recommend finding ways to destress, listening to music, lightning candles or starting a series on netflix.

user: Thats true, it is good to put it in that perspective and to have another opinion on the subject And think of another way to handle everything

assistant: Glad to help!

user: Thank you very much!

assistant: No problem, I hope enjoy the rest of your day!

user: Thank you and same to you. I appreciate your support! What do you do to unwind after a stressful day

assistant: Personally, I spend time with family. Then I have a can of seltzer, watch something on netflix and unwind.

user: Netflix and seltzer have solved many of my problems

assistant: Haha it's a winning combination. Maybe a salty snack or something sweet depending how stressful the day was.
Emotion: depression
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: With everything going on, my depression has taking a turn for the worst.

user: Hi

assistant: Hello, how can I help you today?

user: This pandemic is causing me a lot of anxiety and stress.

assistant: Is there anything that's specifically causing the stress? Probably some big changes?

user: My job safety, financial situation, get evicted and much more.

assistant: It sounds like you're facing some potential instability which can definitely increase anxiety. What strategies have you been trying so far?

user: None so far. I have no idea. Any suggestions?

assistant: For the short term, have you tried looking in to meditation or breathing exercises? For a longer approach, have you thought about gaining some new skills for the job market?

user: Oh ok. That is helpful. I've been reading to past the time.

assistant: Sounds like reading might be a good way to get your mind out of the anxiety loop, does that sound right?

user: Yes, sometimes.

assistant: That's great! Maybe you can take that a step further and read some material on mindfulness

user: Not my type of books, but I'll definitely look into it. Job stability is also a concern for me I definitely fear for my future if I lose my job.

assistant: So, you don't feel like you have a secure spot right now, is that right?

user: That is correct.

assistant: Can you tell me what your job is?

user: I work for an insurance company. Low level employee.

assistant: Ok, have there been any talks about layoffs? Or any concerns about your performance?

user: No, but due to this pandemic, layoff is a concern.
