Emotion: anxiety
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: Becoming frustrated with the difficulties at work. I feel as though I have no support from my coworkers and am constantly questioning if I am making the right decisions. Management and those above me are blatantly rude and not helpful.

assistant: Hello

user: Hello

assistant: How are you

user: I've been better. I'm overly anxious and feeling depressed about work.

assistant: What is happening at work that makes you feel likes that?

user: I just feel like im not getting the support I need. I'm relatively new at my job, so I go to the more senior staff for advice, but I seldom ever get help.

assistant: I see, is there anyone you could talk to at work that could possibly help you?

user: I have a couple of coworkers that have been helpful, but we don't always work together. And their help isn't always the best, or the type of support I am looking for.

assistant: I can see how that would be difficult. Maybe if there is something specific you need help with, you could ask a coworker or senior staff.

user: Yeah, it has been very difficult. Do you have any reccomendations? Or what would you do in the situation? I generally do do that. Sometimes I get the help I need, others not so much. So i feel like im second guessing myself a lot, which puts me under a lot of stress.

assistant: Since you are relatively new it is understandable that it may be difficult. I would see if there is someone I could confide in. They may be understanding.

user: I think thats a good idea. I am concerned it may not work out. What would i do then?

assistant: Is there something specific you are feeling you need more help with? Maybe the people you are asking do not understand exactly what you need help with.

user: Decision making and the little details are where I am struggling. I've had adequate training, but i still feel as though I lack the expertise needed to do my job well. Someimtes I get the support I need, and other times i don't. I'm wondering what i should do in times where I am not getting the support I need if its not available.

assistant: That is understandable. I have been in situations where I had to make difficult decisions at my job too. Overtime you will be gaining experience and it will most likely get easier or you'll get better.

user: Yeah, you're right. I think it will just take time for me to get comfortable and gain confidence in my abilities.

assistant: If there are situations you've found difficult, maybe you could practice making decisions in those circumstances, or ask coworkers what they have done in those times as well.

user: That is a great suggestion

assistant: You seem to care about this job and your performance. I believe you will gain experience and confidence will come with it.

user: Yeah, youre right. It can just be tough at times. But i understand it will take time. Thank you for the advice. It really helped.

assistant: Your welcome. I hope you are able to feel somewhat better about the situation at work, and feel at ease.

user: I do, thank you again for your help

assistant: Your welcome. Are you feeling better?

user: I am, thank you very much

assistant: You sound better. Thank you too!

user: thanks again!
