Emotion: depression
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: I've been feeling more depressed since quitting my job so that I could be around to take care of my children. Now that there's a pandemic raging I'm feeling even more depressed because I have to help my children with schoolwork and I don't have a ton of time to make money to help my husband out with our finances.

user: Hello, how are you this evening?

assistant: Hello Doing good How are doing?

user: I've been better. The holidays aren't helping me feel better about not bringing much money home to help pay for things.

assistant: Sorry to hear this,have you ever tried selling on Ebay

user: I've thought about selling stuff online, but the cost of selling things online isn't really worth it. I've been trying to use facebook marketplace, but I never have anyone who's interested.

assistant: Have you ever heard of QVC liquidations,its awesome with some very good returns.

user: I've heard of QVC, but I've never heard of QVC liquidations. That might be something for me to consider. Can you give me more details about it?

assistant: If your interested you will need to submit a sellers I.D. or tax id

user: I see. Is this something that you've done to make money?

assistant: Absolutely

user: If you don't mind me asking how much have you made using QVC liquidations?

assistant: I have made close to 12,000.00 in one year just reselling the returns.Also ESTY is also a great place.

user: Wow, what sorts of things have you sold?

assistant: Go to EBAY and scroll down to the the completed section and click it and this will show you the item your searching like homemade items or stuff like back packs that maybe on sell at Walmart and I buy them and see what they are selling for

user: Okay, thanks for the suggestions.

assistant: I have purchased a lot of stuff from walmart and resold it on EBAY Its fun

user: I worked with someone whose boyfriend did that. I've never thought about doing that. I might have to consider doing that so I can feel more helpful to my husband.

assistant: Down load the Walmart app and when you go scan the item with app and sometimes its cheaper

user: I don't shop at Walmart very much so thank you for that information.

assistant: I saw a seller on EBAY make small surf boards and sold them on EBAY well over a hundred dollars.They were 48 inches long but he made good money.

user: That is very interesting. I wouldn't think you could make that much from small surfboards.

assistant: He painted them and they looked awesome.

user: I wouldn't think that anyone would want a short surfboard, but I guess I don't know anything about surfing.

assistant: People who own and rent their beach house always looking for some new looks

user: I suppose you are right. Well thanks for the helpful suggestions to make more money.

assistant: Your welcome Don't ever give up there is always ways to make a difference.

user: I appreciate your help. Have a good night!

Emotion: sadness
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: I miss my girlfriend so much and she left me for my best friend.

assistant: Hello, my name is Brandon and I will be serving you today. How are you doing?

user: Not too well, I am feeling very sad this holiday season.

assistant: I am sorry to hear that you are feeling sad this holiday season. Why are you feeling sad?

user: My girlfriend left me for my best friend, now I have no one in my life.

assistant: I see, this sounds really difficult. How long were you dating your girlfriend? Do you have any friends, family or a support system by chance?

user: We were together for 7 years. I have no family. My friend and girlfriend were my only family, we were like the Gatsbys.

assistant: That is a very long time, I had a girlfriend and I was very vested in her and her family. She broke up with me around Christmas time as well. It has been awhile, but I remember getting her gift and it was over sometime afterwards. Do you have any co-workers or involvement with any local groups/organizations/church?

user: My co-workers don't know about my personal life, I don't go to church. Maybe I should go see a therapist?

assistant: I think a therapist would be a great way to process this situation since our time is limited. From what you shared, it sounds like you have some past hurts that you may want to share with someone you trust. Do you have insurance or are you uninsured? There are great therapist for the insured and uninsured. :)

user: I do not have insurance, I am between jobs and have nothing currently. The holidays are an especially lonely time.

assistant: I see, that is very difficult. This season bring many feeling like this myself. If you had a magic wand and could change anything about your situation, what would you change assuming that we cannot fix this situation per se.

user: I would treat my girlfriend better I think. She was pushing for a threesome with my best friend, but I told her no way. That is why she left me.

assistant: From what I am hearing, it sounds like you have a boundary and your girlfriend did not respect that. I think you deserve someone that respects you and your boundaries. If you do not feel comfortable, then you do not feel comfortable and should not be shamed for it.

user: I agree. She made me watch them have sex once, it was sick. Can a therapist help me with that? Are you still there sir?

assistant: Sorry i was having wifi issues

user: So what should i do? I think I need to have the threesome with them. She would like to get spitroasted, then I can get her back.

assistant: If it were me, i would seekout a couselor.
Emotion: fear
Problem: job crisis
Situation: Anxiety about losing my job

assistant: Do you need help? What is the real issue?

user: I don't even know, because I am not happy Anxiety about losing my job

assistant: I have been sad at times, but I listen to pleasant music. When have you started feeling sad? I had fear of losing my job at times. I suggest doing stress relieving tasks

user: I can't think of that of now, because last three month a go pay cut and nest month payoff

assistant: Can you repeat that? You had a pay cut in the last three months?

user: Yeah and the company is planning layoff for some of the staffs

assistant: How do you know that layoffs are coming? Why not try to work for Uber or Lyft to supplement your income?

user: They sent circular to all staffs

assistant: What did it state? I am sorry to hear the news. Have you looked at updating your resume and looking on job boards?

user: No I think I will just do that now may be it will help

assistant: That is a great comment. Being pro-active and looking for similar jobs can help.

user: Yeah thanks

assistant: It' good to take initiative and start looking for other sources of income.

user: I believe it work if I try.

assistant: I usually search job boards. It is what I have dine in the past. It is important to believe in yourself.

user: I am thinking about uber

assistant: I can also suggest Lyft... What other feelings and thoughts can I discern for you?

Emotion: depression
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: My mind is consumed by depression

user: Hello

assistant: Hello! How's it going? How can I help you today?

user: Hi. It has been better.

assistant: We all have those days :/ what's bothering you?

user: I can't seem to get motivated.

assistant: It sounds like your having trouble giving yourself that little push to get the wheels turning. I've totally been there. What do you feel is the reason?

user: I don't feel like it is worth it.

assistant: I understand, I've been there before. You just have to take one step at a time and not overwhelm yourself . Have you tried any tools to help you get going?

user: What kind of tools would you suggest?

assistant: What I find that works is to make out a list of all the things you want to accomplish and the possible steps you need to get there. It also helps to let someone know how you feel like a friend or relative, you would be surprised that being open with people can open up new doors in life.

user: I can talk to my friends sometimes. I have big goals but can't seem to get little things right.

assistant: You feel like your friends don't listen or care? And trust me you are not alone. I am going through that as well. I messed up so you can say, but as time went on I realized that I can't live like how I was living anymore and I SLOWLY moved towards my goals. I just graduated phlebotomy school for example. What are your goals?

user: Wow that's amazing. I want to start my own business but I have no money to start with.

assistant: Thank you! Yeah money is tight these days especially with the pandemic going on. If your business has a good idea there are many venture capitalist that are willing to invest in your idea. You can search for websites and pitch it to them. But don't let anyone stop you, you can do it! Or even search for people in different forums with the same ideas as you, you guys can collaborate and possibly bounce your ideas off each other. There are also loans you can get from the bank. Don't get discouraged. It's never too late.

user: That is a great suggestion What else do you know? THank you for the encouragement by the way
Emotion: depression
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: My boyfriend broke up with me in a facebook story. He won't tell me why. He won't return my calls or answer my messages. I think it is because I posted something (innocent) that made him jealous. But he is being so cruel. He posts many sad songs to make it seem like he is so hurt by me, but he won't even speak with me. I can't eat or sleep. I'm losing my mind.

user: Is anyone there??

assistant: Hey there, how are you doing/

user: Ok. Are you able to read the description of my problem or should I paste it again?

assistant: Sorry, i could not see the description of the problem. Could you please paste it again?

user: Sure my boyfriend broke up with me but won't tell me why I think I posted something on fb that made him jealous. But if that is so he is being irrational.

assistant: oh, i am so sorry.

user: he won't answer my calls or messages. He keeps posting things that make it seem like I hurt him so much. Thanks! :)

assistant: Did you try to message him to see if he can chat with you? so that you get a chance to understand what made him break up with you? or do you have a common friend that can help arrange a meetup ?

user: I've send him so many messages. He reads them but won't respond. I did ask his best friend to help me but my ex pretended like nothing was wrong when his friend asked him.

assistant: Hmm. do you want to give him some time to maybe cool off and then try to get in touch with him again? i know you are anxious but sometimes it is best for time to heal things and bring things back to normal

user: Yes, I guess that is all I can do for now. Since he won't answer and it's putting pressure on us both. However, the anxiety of this is killing me.I can't eat or sleep. I don't know how to handle it for myself. But yes you are right, the one thing I need to do is leave him be for a bit.

assistant: Do you have any other friend that you can lean for a little bit for support? this will help you get out of anxiety. Maybe, try to get busy with work or spend time on your hobbies. it helps to take your mind off of this thing a bit and will make you a bit less anxious.

user: Thank you I have been trying to do that. Though I don't want to bother my friends too much. I've been keeping myself busy though. Most important is to stay away from my phone. haha.

assistant: That's good. at least you found ways to get out of the anxiety. and social media can cause anxiety too, so staying from your phone also helps :)

user: Well it is not helping much. But I guess it will get better over time. I suppose the second I start to feel better, he'll call. haha. It always works that way, right?

assistant: Yeah. given enough time and when things cool off, people do dwell on their behaviour and often times feel stupid for the way they act. i hope its the same case with your boyfriend as well. I have a feeling he is going to give you a call soon

user: Thank you very much. I really hope so! :)

assistant: you bet :)

user: Thanks again! You did make me feel better and i think we are allowed to proceed now :)
Emotion: anxiety
Problem: job crisis
Situation: Going to lose my job in January, not sure what to do about that.

user: Just found out my position will be eliminated in January. Freaking out! 1

assistant: Wow. So you're being laid off soon?

user: Yes. Apparently the company just can't continue to operate and pay all of us. So my position will be gone. They said they may be able to hire me back after all the Covid stuff, but couldn't guarantee it 2

assistant: I've been laid off many times. Never gets easier. Will they give you severance? Do you qualify for unemployment? Any offer for retraining or job assistance?

user: It is hard emotionally - as well as financially. I tried calling the unemployment office to find out what help they may have but no one answered me. 3

assistant: Your not getting the unemployment office to respond seems to be a common problem. They weren't geared up for this. Fortunately, the online portal has been helpful for many. What are your skills and strong points?

user: I will have to look at that. I've not been in the job market for 25 years. I thought they may be able to provide some assistance in just where do I begin. 4 I'm a teacher at a private school. 4

assistant: You want to know where to start. Sounds like you are young.

user: Well not as young as I once was - in my 40s. 5

assistant: Teachers are wonderful! Experienced teachers are even better. Age 40 is still young enough to be competitive in today's market. You will get lots of job interviews and offers before you know it.

user: I'm concerned because now is just not the normal time they hire new teachers on. Plus a lot of the school systems around me are all virtual right now, so I'm concerned about that 6

assistant: How are your online/virtual skills? Use your time off to get confidence in online forums like Zoom and MS Teams.

user: We've used Zoom for some of our kids at my current school but it's usually one on one, not an entire classroom 7

assistant: There's many online job hunting sites that are free. Indeed, Zip Recruiter, Craig's List, Monster, newspaper classifieds.

user: Yes I need to investigate those. I got my current job right out of college and I've been there 25 years! I'm so nervous about teaching somewhere else. 8

assistant: I feel your pain. Being laid off is a stab to the heart. Very disconcerting. Sounds as if you have been thrown out of your comfort zone.

user: Most definitely. Not to mention the children that depend on me, many of the children that I work with have special needs and changing their teachers can be traumatic. So I'm worried about them as well. 9

assistant: I'm sixty and one thing I've noticed during past lay-offs is that people end up in a better position.

user: I hope that is the case this time around for me. Ugh, I've got to do a new resume too!! EEK! 10

assistant: I admire your dedication to the children. They will always have a place in their heart for you. Fortunately, children are resilient so the trauma could be short-lived for them.
Emotion: anger
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: I'm mad at my boyfriend for not taking responsibility.

assistant: Hello

user: Hi, how are you?

assistant: Good thanks, so what's troubling you?

user: I'm so mad at my boyfriend for not taking any responsibility. I'm about to break up with him.

assistant: Responsibility in regards to what? Like in what area of life do you mean?

user: We've been dating 4 years, meeting in high school. Now we're graduated and I've gone to college. He doesn't have a job yet after 1 year.

assistant: Hmm, has he been looking for work, or just laying around playing video games and shit like that?

user: I've been away at college and just came home on break so I'm not sure. He tells me he is looking but I don't know how it's taking a year to get a job.

assistant: Well, I suppose it's possible that he's been earnestly looking and just not having any luck. Is he kind of a loser in general, or is he a stand-up guy?

user: He got average grades in school but didn't really miss days from school.

assistant: Ok, so it sounds like you're kind of fed up with him in general, and not having a job is maybe just a part of the bigger issue?

user: That's probably correct. He hasn't been in contact with me as much since I left for school. I just expected more.

assistant: Well, it sounds like you're both in kind of a transitional period in life. It's pretty normal for relationships to not necessarily survive through things like this

user: That's so sad since we have so many years together, but I feel like I'm moving forward and he is staying in place.

assistant: Yeah, I mean it's never easy going through a breakup, but people change as they get older and mature, and they aren't necessarily going to still be compatible the whole time. Also I think it's important to not think of a relationship that peters out as a failed one. Just because it didn't last until one of you died doesn't mean it wasn't a success. I think people put too much emphasis on permanence.

user: That's true, it can maybe just be a stepping stone to build other relationships. Thanks for the wisdom.

assistant: Well I've got a couple decades on you, so I've been through this a few times before. Actually I'm still friends with pretty much all of my exes. I mean just because I'm not romantically involved with them anymore doesn't mean that they aren't still terrific people. Hell, I hung out with two of them just today.

user: That's great you have maintained positive relationships and were also able to move forward. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

assistant: You bet. So what do you think you'll do from here? I mean do you know you want to move on for sure, or do you think you'll see if you can work through this patch? I don't know that there's a wrong answer .
Emotion: sadness
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: The feel of isolation during pandemic and being an immigrant without any family closeby.

user: Hello?

assistant: Hello, how can I help you today?

user: I just need someone to listen to me. How are you?

assistant: I am doing well. What would you like to talk about?

user: I feel really sad right now, I missed my family haven't seen them for 3 years now. I planned to see them this year but then this pandemic happens.

assistant: So you were planning to see them after three years but the pandemic has put a halt on that for the time being.

user: Yes that's right.

assistant: How far from you do they live?

user: I'm in the other side of the world. That is like more than 8000miles away.

assistant: Wow! That is a long way. This pandemic will pass in time so you can visit them.

user: I really hope so. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

assistant: Are you able to video chat with them? Possibly with skype, facebook messenger, or zoom. Seeing their faces on the screen could help to ease the sadness.

user: Yes I always do, plus it always reminds why I needed to be away from them. I am working hard to support my family. I envy families who are together during holidays.

assistant: I can sympathize with you, my sister, niece, and nephew live on the other side of the country, about 3000 miles away. I know it's hard to be so far away.

user: I hope you were able to see them.

assistant: What type of plans do you have when you see them?

user: I am planning to bring them to nice places my parents never experiences traveling to nice places. They are getting old and want the best for my parents and siblings.

assistant: I hope this pandemic ends quickly so that you get to see your family soon.

user: I hope too, Thank you for listening. Have a great day! I really appreciate it.

assistant: you can call them anytime your sad and missing them.
Emotion: depression
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: covid depression

assistant: Hello there, are things going well with you right now?

user: hey, i'm having a rough time. i'm really depressed about the never ending covid situation

assistant: I do not blame you. Would you like to tell me what specifically is bad about it for you?

user: i am just feeling like there's no good news, i'm constantly onthe verge of tears

assistant: So you just feel as though there is nothing to look forward to at the moment?

user: yes, it's all doom and gloom there no good news nothing to look forward to

assistant: I have to admit that I have been feeling much this way myself. It has been a very long year, hasn't it?

user: it has been a long year and i fear it will be a dark, deadly winter

assistant: There is the new year to look forward to. It might bring new things - there might be a vaccine, for instance.

user: that woudl help, but i have been discouraged by the number of people who aren't following the science why aren't they wearing masks?

assistant: So you feel that there are a lot of ignorant people out there who are making things worse by refusing to follow the rules?

user: yes. things are bad and those peole are making it worse by not following the rules or advice

assistant: All we can really do is to follow the rule ourselves and so help to make things better for people!

user: we are currently quarantined because my son was exposed to a coworker who tested positive. we should know in a couple of day if he's positiv or not

assistant: That must feel very difficult for you. Do you have anyone around who can support you, even if just by leaving groceries outside of your door?

user: the number of unkowns with this virus is stressful and makes it even more baffling that people wont follow what we do know we are well stocked, i did that over the summer, thanksfor asking

assistant: I think that some people simply do not have much in the way of current sense. Is it true to say that this is making things worse for you? common sense, sorry.

user: really the part that' sthe most upsetting right this very minute is that we are having to wait for the test results before my husband can come home he works out of state
