Emotion: sadness
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: My boyfriend just told me that he wants to break up because he doesn't see a future because he never wants to get married but I do.

assistant: Hello there, how are you today?

user: Hi, Thanks for talking to me today. I've been so upset about my boyfriend breaking up with me. It was so unexpected.

assistant: I'm sorry to hear that. When did he break up with you?

user: He texted me yesterday! Can you believe that? We've been together a year and he broke up with me by texting me!!! He couldn't even do it face to face!

assistant: That seems very cowardly to break up with you over text after being together for a year.

user: Yes, I thought so too! He knew I'd be upset and he didn't want to deal with me I guess. He knew I wanted to get married some day from the very start. He knew it didn't have to be soon. I'm still in college. I just want to know that he wants marriage some day but he decided that marriage is an institution he doesn't believe in.

assistant: That is a shame. I can understand his perspective if marriage is not something he wanted but it seems hurtful to string you along in a relationship if your life goals were very different. Was your differing opinions on marriage the only reason he gave?

user: Yes, It was completely unexpected because things with us were going great. I was completely blindsided. We hadn't even talked about marriage lately. He just knew that it was something that I wanted in the future.

assistant: That sounds very difficult. How have you been coping with the break up?

user: I've just been crying and laying in bed. I called off work today. I don't want to see anyone right now.

assistant: I think this is to be expected from a very fresh break-up. I know that when I broke up with my partner, I spent at least a few days crying and trying to figure out what my life would be now.

user: How 'd you get over it?

assistant: I tried to focus on other areas of my life and to critically reflect on my relationship. Largely, I threw myself into my work and tried to better that aspect of my life, and hung out with people that I knew cared about me. Both of those are very good distractions which you might be able to use.

user: Maybe calling off work was a bad idea... all I'm going to do is think about this instead of doing something to take my mind off of it...

assistant: I think one day off to get the crying out of your system is a good emotional cleanse. We all need time to self care and look after our emotions. Maybe going for a walk or doing some yoga, to place your focus on something rather than being boxed into a room may help to shift your focus.

user: I think I'm going to get out of bed and do something to take my mind off of this . Thanks for chatting with me today! I think I'm going to do that! There is a park by my house that I'm going to go for a walk in! Some fresh air might be good for me!

assistant: You are more than welcome. I hope that you feel better by being outside.
Emotion: depression
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: When one partner feels that the other isn't fulfilling a requirement, Wadley says, it's important to communicate that. If that person's partner isn't willing to try harder to fulfill that need, it's probably time to move on, she says
Tell your BF or GF that you want to talk about something important.
Start by mentioning something you like or value about the other person. ...
Say what's not working (your reason for the break-up). ...
Say you want to break up

assistant: Hi, What's on your mind today?

user: HII

assistant: How are you?

user: fine i had a lot of reasons to give up on you but i still chose to stay hello how are you?

assistant: I am glad you stayed. What are some of the reasons you wanted to give up on me?

user: hmm she don't miss him, you miss the person he used to be.

assistant: Missing people can feel devastating, Is that what I am hearing you say?

user: what about you? ofcourse never go back to an old love, it's like reading a book over and over again when you already know how it ends.

assistant: You sound like you have a lot of wisdom How are you trying to move on?

user: yup pain is the only thing that's telling me i"am still alive It is better to be alone. Than being with someone who makes you feel alone.

assistant: I have recently separated from my spouse. I know it is a tough journey to walk.

user: ohh that was great idea you choice a better way

assistant: You are so correct about the outcome of Faith

user: but why you separated from your spouse.

assistant: Moving on from a toxic relationship is important.

user: why .. ?? great

assistant: My spouse is Narcissistic and I woke up to the understanding of the abuse.

user: how to feel after breakup?? ohh okay

assistant: Most of the time, I feel confident about the breakup but there are times I become insecure. It is during those times, I look to resources to help remind me that I made the correct choice.

user: your correct.trusting you again is my decision, proving me wrong is your choice

assistant: I have been developing a support group to help me through. Have you been working on a support group of your own.?

user: this way of life was never chosen by me, it was my bad luck that it choose me yes ofcourse

assistant: That's wonderful!

user: trust and let go whoever is meant to be there, will still be there thank you are you working on a support group of your own?

assistant: you are welcome, Is anything else on your mind that you'd like to talk about today? I have been online with others who are healing from Narcissistic abuse.

Emotion: anxiety
Problem: academic pressure
Situation: I am 50 and returning to school because I am out of work.  I am, having a very tough time.

assistant: Hi, is there something bothering you that prompted you to send a message? Hello, are you still with me?

user: Yes I am feeling bad about myself. I am unemployed from the Pandemic. I decided to back to school and it is a lot harder than i anticipated. I got a scholarship and Im not working so I should be successful, right? But I feel distracted, it is online and there is a lot of writing assignments. I feel like I dont know what they expect.

assistant: That sounds like a stressful situation. I have also struggled with staying focused while working from home. Have you tried making a designated study area?

user: I am running out of money too and it isnt helping me to focus. I thought I could be productive and do something positive during this time. I have a desk in my bedroom. My 3 kids are in college too, LOL. I wish there were some face to face or zoom like participation classes. I dont like independant study.

assistant: It sounds like you are trying very hard to change your situation during this crazy year. Is there a way to connect with other students taking the same classes? If not maybe you could initiate a zoom study/discussion group.

user: Not really. I was wondering that too. We have assignment where we "post" and "respond" to some topic or other. Yeah I think that is a good idea. I like that idea, i think i will ask my kids how to set that up

assistant: I wish you much luck in your continuing education. I know that you can find a way to connect with other students and succeed!

user: Thank you for your understanding, it is good to bounce things off someone else. Have a great day!
Emotion: depression
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: Long day of work. Came home early, ended up catching my partner having an affair with my roommate

user: Hello. Is anyone here?

assistant: hello

user: I need a bit of advice

assistant: Sure, what is going on?

user: My partner of 4 years... i never thought this would happen but they ended up cheating on me Caught them in the act With my roommate I can't believe this. We've been together for 4 years. All of their stuff is in the same house we are living in Should I kick them out???

assistant: I am truly sorry you had to witness that. Would you feel more comfortable with them leaving or do you think either relationship is salvagable?

user: That's my current problem. I do still love them but... what would happen if I stay and we work on our relationship? Do you think it would be a good idea to solve the relationship and stay?

assistant: If you feel that something might be salvageable it might be worth looking into. Do you think they'd be open to sitting down and talking it out?

user: They did end up crying and saying that it was a mistake. I don't know if it would be a good idea. I think I would have feelings of regret The trust wouldn't be there anymore.

assistant: I think that either way you choose to proceed there is always the choice of remaining amicable. You're all adults, so sitting down and discussing what comes next is an inevitability. Maybe they will choose to leave, or you'll decide it would be better for you to go, but at least the discussion would be ongoing to perhaps resume the friendship at a later time?

user: I'll give it a shot to talk with them. Do you think there would be hateful feelings even if we decided to resume the friendship?

assistant: If you're trying your best to move on and the other party ends up with hateful feelings then I feel like at least you gave it your best right? It might be worth laying low for a little while to sort through the feelings of mistrust and betrayal.

user: That is true. I probably will give it some time to decide on a best course of action. I just needed someone to talk to.

assistant: I'm glad I could help

user: Thanks again friend! Do your recommend for me to talk right away?

assistant: I would talk to them as soon as you feel comfortable enough to do so. It might get awkward and leave people to come to other conclusions if it's avoided for too long.

user: That's true. Right now I think it would be too awkward to talk
Emotion: sadness
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: My boyfriend cheated on me so I broke up with him.

user: Hi there, I was hoping to get some support. I'm having a hard time with things.

assistant: Ho, Can you please tell me specifically what things you are having a hard time with.

user: I broke up with my boyfriend because he cheated on me.

assistant: I hear you saying that your boyfriend broke up with you. Is that correct

user: Yes, that's correct. I'm heartbroken! Wait, no. I broke up with my boyfriend. he didn't break up with me

assistant: I am sorry to hear that. Can you tell me what led to the breakup

user: I caught him cheating on me with my best friend. They were together at the movies and I caught them

assistant: Ok, that sounds like a terrible thing. Just know that it is not your fault that this happen. It is not a reflection on you.

user: Are you sure? Because I keep wondering what I did wrong for him to cheat

assistant: You did nothing wrong, when people cheat it is their own issue they must deal with. You must be feeling horrible,but know that it will be ok, there is someone who will treat you with more respect

user: I appreciate you saying that. It makes me feel a bit better! Do you have any advice about how I can take my mind off of things?

assistant: Do not let this affect your self esteem, as you are a valuable person. Take long walks, spend time enjoying your own company and know that you are worth it You can also try spending time just talking to others as just friends but not getting emotionally involved.

user: Taking a long walk is great advice. Perhaps I will try doing that more often. The fresh air always does me good. I have a lot of friends I can talk to about this but unfortunately COVID makes it difficult to see them.

assistant: Great, it will make you feel so much better about yourself and help you put things in perspective. You will eventually see your ex-partner for who he is.

user: I have some weight to lose, so taking a walk would help me with that also. Added bonus!

assistant: Great, so you can look and feel great. With COVID around, it is not the best time to go out and mingle but you can surely look around online and finds some online friends so that when social distancing is no longer an issue you can meet others

user: That's not a bad idea either. I think I'm feeling much better now

assistant: Wonderful, I am glad I can be of assistance Have a wonderful day

user: You too :)

user: like crap, it makes me not wanna do anything

assistant: I understand completely, it can be hard to keep up in class especially if you're feeling down To be clear, you're feeling bad about not being able to keep up in class and that's making you feel even worse about it?

user: yeah, like I want to start doing better but then i realize theres just no point im already behind

assistant: Don't worry, that's totally normal, especially since a lot of things are online these days. I personally struggled with keeping up with courses, but I found a way to make it work by pushing to the limits

user: okay, i guess its good to know im not the only one how did you get thru it?

assistant: I suggest starting with what you missed first instead of worrying what you're getting now Maybe let your teacher/professor know how you're doing in class and you may be able to ask for extensions on deadlines

user: Thats helpful, thanks i am a little scared to ask my teacher though shes really mean and what if she fails me?

assistant: Don't be afraid! Remember a teacher's job is to teach and help you, she may look a little mean but it doesn't hurt to try and ask, she can't fail you for being confused :)

assistant: Does that make you feel a little better about it?

user: yea, a lot better actually, thanks

assistant: You're welcome! Anything else I can help out with?

user: what should i do about the work i missed?

assistant: hmm, i suggest you should ask your teacher if its still alright to submit it. If you decide to do them, make sure its ok with her first

user: okay, thanks, i will do that

assistant: No problem! Glad I was able to help! Is there anything else?

user: no thats all, thanks again for helping me

user: Hello. I'm looking for some help.

assistant: Good Morning! would you like to tell me whats going on?

user: I have a big test coming up for a college class and I am very anxious about it.

assistant: you seem really concerned about a big test coming up and its making you feel anxious. is that correct?

user: Yeah exactly. I feel like my future depends on getting a good grade on this test.

assistant: just from chatting with you, I can feel how anxious you are.

user: I've been studying every day for weeks but I still can't help but feel really anxious. I don't know what to do. It's messing with my sleep schedule.

assistant: your doing your best and continuing to try hard! it's great that you are working so hard to pass this test.

user: I'm trying my best I'm just worried it won't be enough.

assistant: deep breaths can help people calm down. Can you try and take a few deep breaths?

user: Yes, I can try to do that more often.

assistant: how confidant do you feel with the material?

user: I'm fairly certain I have most of it memorized but what happens if I freeze up and forget during the test?

assistant: I feel the same way when I am taking a big exam! Try to remember to breath and not be so anxious that will only cause you to forget everything you studied. You seem very intelligent and I know you can do this!

user: Thank you! Do you think taking a practice exam would help?

assistant: yes I think a practice exam would be a great way to put you at ease and help you work on anything you might need to freshen up on.

Emotion: sadness
Problem: problems with friends
Situation: I can not hang out with my friends due to COVID-19. I miss them a lot but they are high risk.

user: Hello

assistant: Hi! How can I help you today ?

user: I am feeling quite sad. I miss hanging out with my friends in person.

assistant: It looks like you are missing your friends a a lot. am I right?

user: Yes

assistant: I am missing my friends and family too. Due to COVID it's hard for all of us to meet our near and dear. I can totally understand your feeling.

user: What do you do to cope?

assistant: I do video call. It makes me feel that they are very close to me.

user: I do that occasionally but it really is not the same.

assistant: I can feel how much you are missing them especially in holidays. engaging yourself in doing the stuff which you love can be a good idea

user: That is true. Although I may have to find a new hobby that isn't social

assistant: Sadness can lead us to frustration. To avoid that we have to stay motivated and keep doing something which takes those negative thoughts away

user: Do you have any suggestions?

assistant: you can play online games with your friends

user: That sounds fun

assistant: giving task or challenges to each other, making funny videos, having competition for cleaning room are few example which can be tried.

user: Which one do you do personally?

assistant: giving task is my favorite :)

user: What is a good example?

assistant: Telling friend to drink 4 glass of water at once, making bed in 30 seconds, finding particular content on laptop in specific time(30 sec or45 sec)

user: Those seem pretty interesting. Thanks for the advice

assistant: No problem! Is there anything else that I can help you with

user: No, I think you did a great job giving advice.

assistant: Thanks! Have a wonderful time !
Emotion: anxiety
Problem: academic pressure
Situation: I have been overloaded with school work recently. I failed my first exam earlier this week and I am stressed and anxious about my exams later in the week.

user: Hello, I have been feeling very anxious and stressed recently.

assistant: Why have you been feeling stressed and anxious?

user: I failed my first exam earlier this week and I have 2 more later on in this week. I am already disheartened about my first failure and I am scared that I will fail again.

assistant: I'm sure you tried your best on that test, as long as you study hard I believe you can ace those next 2 exams!

user: I have been too stressed about my other exams, it's making it hard for me to focus on studying and I don't know what to do.

assistant: I've heard that meditation can help with stress and focus, maybe you could try meditating for a bit before you study?

user: I have never tried meditating before, I have no idea where to start.

assistant: Meditation is essentially focussing on breathing, you could start by closing your eyes and slowly breathe in an out.

user: I feel like a failure and I am scared my parents are going to be disappointed in me

assistant: From what you're saying to me, I feel that you don't believe in yourself very much.

user: I guess you are right, I need to believe in myself and my abilities more. I just don't know how sometimes.

assistant: I've struggled with the same thing before, whenever I doubt myself I look back at all i've accomplished and look at myself in the mirror and tell myself that I can do it. It has worked well for me.

user: What if I fail another exam this week? I need at least an 80% to pass my class, I am so worried.

assistant: Psychologies studies show that spacing out your studying and relearning helps you remember more information, you could try to section off your studying and then reviewing information before the exam!

user: That seems like a good plan, hopefully I will be able to get the score I need to pass.

assistant: I'm sure you'll do your best and pass that exam with flying colors!

user: Is there any other piece of advice you have for me before I get to studying again?

assistant: I have two actually! 1. Do not procrastinate as that will only cause you more stress and 2. Believe in yourself! I know you can do it, you should too!

user: I appreciate you helping me, I am feeling much more confident!
