Situation: Im just feeling a little down in the dumps today

user: Hello

assistant: Hi from Michigan! How are you doing today?

user: Im going pretty good, just trying to get through laundry

assistant: Ugh! That's a never ending battle for me! Do you have a lot of it?

user: Not too bad, it's more so the folding and putting away afterward that seems to take the longest.

assistant: That's the worst part. I've given up on folding. Do you have something that's bothering this evening?

user: It does feel good to put things away though, my room has been a tornado recently, just not feeling like doing much these days. The pandemic crazies hit pretty hard recently. I wish I could just see peoples faces again, and go out to eat. It really sucks to be at home all the time. Like I get it, but it's challenging, and lonely.

assistant: I can relate. This whole year has been a mess.

user: I want to be optimistic but its hard when it feels like you're always on the brink of losing everything. It really sucks.

assistant: Do you think you're staying away from people because you're supposed to or you're afraid of getting sick?

user: I would definitely say both. I also don't live near any family or friends anymore. I moved to a totally new place a few months before the pandemic Lost the job I moved here for, most of the friends I had made needed to move back in with family, it's just a mess. And we're on level red these days, so most businesses are closed around here.

assistant: It's hard to be optimistic when everything seems so uncertain. I can't imagine how lonely that would feel especially in a new place.

user: Yup.

assistant: Are you still keeping in contact with your friends and family back home?

user: As much as possible, but it's never the same. It's strange honestly. Part of the reason I moved away was to get away from my home and everything familiar, and this whole experience kinda reminded me why it's nice to have that around.

assistant: It really isn't. That's such a hard situation to be in. I really can't think of much of a solution unfortunately.

user: There's no need to find a solution, really. It's just sucks, and that's okay It's perseverance through hardship that make you grateful in the end, but the process still sucks.

assistant: I guess in a way this whole thing has been an eyeopener for you. Are you considering moving back home when this is over?

user: Haha no way that place sucks. :) I love where I've moved, it's lonely for now, but the small taste I got of the town when I first moved is enough to stay for. We'll see what the future brings.

assistant: Very true about perseverance. I think everyone is feeling a bit depressed at this point.

user: It's very easy to. Just watching old videos with crowds of people is so strange and nostalgic

assistant: You seem to have a good mindset about everything. You should try doing the support side of this next time! lol

user: Lol for sure dude. Thanks for chatting :) It's good to get crap out.

assistant: No problem, you too! These are actually pretty decent hits. Slave wage though lol

user: Agreed. It's better than nothing though I hope you have a great night, seeya!
