Emotion: anger
Problem: academic pressure
Situation: Why do I always get the worst teachers? It makes school so hard in general.

assistant: Can you please share what is on your mind?

user: Hello. I am dissapointed in the teachers that I always get. They seem to make my courses so much harder. I think I just get incredibly unlucky at times.

assistant: I see. You feel unlucky and disappointed that the teachers cause your courses to be challenging?

user: Exactly. I compare myself to my friends and, for example, they get barely any homework. It almost seems unfair.

assistant: Course work is already stressful enough but to be challenging in addition only adds to the pressure.

user: Yeah. But I swear, every single one of my teachers just seems so imcompetent at times.

assistant: I remember an English teacher of mine, always calling me out in class, saying that she expects better of me when my papers weren't the best. Her class was hard and I worked hard to complete my assignments as instructed. Instead of her speaking with me personally, she'd embarrass me. I did not like her class at all.

user: Those are the worst teachers. I wish teachers like those would get fired. I just want to have a chill time like most teenagers

assistant: Is there enough time to maybe select more compatible teachers or speak with the school counselor about classes that work best for you?

user: That's the thing. I never get to pick my classes. And they always give me crap recommendations. I Think I need to drop by the office

assistant: That is a great idea. I'd encourage you to speak with your school counselor to share your needs and maybe the 2 of you can come up with a plan to create a schedule with teachers that can help you be successful.

user: I am absolutely certain that I am capable of succeeding at school without over stressing. Hopefuly this will fix the issue.

assistant: I believe you are correct! Less stress certainly creates a better learning environment. School counselors are your ally. Remember, you can go to them anytime you need them. Are you stopping by this week?

user: Maybe. If I have time on thursday or friday, I think I will go.

assistant: I am so excited for you! This is a big step! Looking out for yourself, to assure you are happy, less stressed and learning the important things to be able to graduate.

user: I agree...

assistant: For your next year, asking upperclassmen about their teachers can give you insight on who you may have next year. The more you know in advance, the better you can plan for what to discuss with your counselor. So proud of you! I know you 2 will come up with an awesome schedule!

user: Thank you. I will try my best.
Emotion: depression
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: I am currently going through a divorce from an abusive, lying, narcissist. He has taken my kids from me by making false claims. I haven't seen them in months. My daughter is 4 and my son is 2. I miss them so much.

assistant: Hello.

user: hello

assistant: How are you this evening?

user: I am doing ok. I am feeling very sad . How are you?

assistant: I am doing well, I am sorry to hear you are feeling sad. What is bothering you tonight?

user: I am going through a terrible divorce from an abusive narcissitic ex, But we have two young kids. I haven't seen them in months because he lied to CPS and told them I abuse my kids. I just feel very alone. I am afraid my children will forget me.

assistant: So, just to clarify, you are going through a hard divorce with your ex-wife and this has you feeling very down..

user: ex-husband yes

assistant: Sorry about that, ex-husband. I can definitely tell this is making you feel very anxious and sad from the few messages we have exchanged.

user: Yes very much so Do you have any advice?

assistant: I recently went through a hard break up with an ex-fiancé who got pregnant from another man, so I know how difficult a situation like this can be,

user: Oh my goodness My ex is out to destroy me emotionally

assistant: Have you had a conversation with him with some sort of objective third party to try and work through the differences in seeing your children? Often times, having an objective 3rd party helps to get somewhere in a conversation.

user: Yes, the court right now. They are moving so slow with Covid. I'm just worried my kids will forget me. or not love me anymore.

assistant: Does he allow you to have any contact with your children?

user: Not at this time. The court is in favor of their father. This situation is a little stickier. In July, I sent recordings of him being abusive to me, to my mother I told him I wanted a divorce and I didn't love him anymore. Next thing I know, I'm being arrested for "hitting" him, which never happened so I am trying to beat this criminal charge

assistant: Do you have information to reach out to who is handling your court case? Reaching out to ask for updates or for help from them might help.

user: That is a great idea I should try that.

assistant: I think it would help to reach out and let them know you would like updates!

user: I know that I am stronger for going through this situation.

assistant: You definitely will be! I know it is hard now, but I know you will make it through this!

user: Thank you for your support!

assistant: Not a problem! I am glad you reached out tonight!

user: Me as well. I was debating it for a while have a good evening

assistant: You as well!

user: good night
Emotion: pain
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: I found out my partner was cheating on me and I just feel betrayed and heartbroken.

assistant: Hi, How are you doing today? Hi, How are you doing today?

user: I feel like shit and I don't know how I can move on. I can't help but feel there must be something wrong with me, or if I did something wrong.

assistant: It sound like you are having a really hard time right now.

user: Like I had all these plans and they just came crashing down, and now I have to start all over again. Well yeah, I just broke up with my partner after finding out they cheated on me.

assistant: That is a very difficult situation. Starting over again can be a great opportunity for growth.

user: I feel like I'm too old to start over again. There must be something wrong with me after all.

assistant: I understand how you feel. I had a bad break up, but it turned out to be a good thing in the long run.

user: How so?

assistant: Well, looking back the relationship was pretty toxic and everything was better once I was out of it. I am sure your life will be happier and more fulfilling soon. It sounds like you are blaming yourself for everything. Why do you feel at fault?

user: I don't know, it doesn't feel like anything's getting better soon. I've been busy with work so I haven't been spending as much time with my partner.

assistant: It sounds to me like you have been working hard to support your life with you partner. They should respect that.

user: Maybe it is my fault, maybe I didn't communicate enough.

assistant: Is this a relationship you would want back if you could get it back?

user: No, I don't think I'd want to get back with someone who cheated on me.

assistant: I would agree with you on that! That was how I felt too.

user: I guess I just need some time to think things through.

assistant: For sure. Just take things slowly, one day at a time. Take the time you need to learn to enjoy your new life. For sure. Just take things slowly, one day at a time. Take the time you need to learn to enjoy your new life. Sorry for hitting enter twice. :)

Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: I just don't really feel enthused about anything right now.  I feel like I can't make any future plans, and that I don't have anything to look forward to.

user: Hello

assistant: Hello

user: I just don't feel enthused about anything lately.

assistant: I am so sorry to hear that. How do you feel right now?

user: Just kind of "blah."

assistant: I understand that feeling. Have you lost interest in things that you normally would enjoy?

user: I don't know that I have exactly lost interest. I still do them, but somehow it feels like I'm just going through the motions.

assistant: I can relate to that. Have you thought about trying something new, or taking up a new hobby? That has helped me before

user: Not really. I guess that I'm just kind of stuck in a rut.

assistant: Would you be willing to try a new hobby to make each day less monotonous?

user: Yes, I would be, but I'm not sure that it actually needs to be a new hobby. I just need to have some sort of project that I'm working on.

assistant: Maybe a new home improvement project?

user: No! I've got a jigsaw puzzle that I could start, and I also have a list of "21 books that you've been meaning to read."

assistant: Those both sound like great ideas! I think starting one, or both, would really make you feel a lot better.

user: If I start working through the 21 books, that should keep me going for quite a while (even if I'm not interested in all of them)!

assistant: I believe it will also help give you a sense of accomplishment. I know that it would me

user: I agree.

assistant: Perfect! It sounds like you may have found a solution to help you get out of this rut and "blah" feeling

user: Thanks for chatting.

assistant: I hope that you start feeling better. I'm glad we were able to chat

user: It was helpful for me to have a chance to put my feelings into words. It just seems like I haven't had the opportunity to do that recently.

assistant: I glad that you were able to talk about how you are feeling. That is a big step in feeling better

user: I believe that we've successfully completed the task, and I need to go cook dinner. Goodbyt.

user: What do you suggest I do? I've been studying all night

assistant: Oh God, I can understand you! that's a lot of pressuare

user: yes it is! Should I keep studying or try and get some rest?

assistant: Well, I think you should take a rest time from your works and take that time to study a lot.

user: my test is tomorrow! I'm not working right now, I'm studying

assistant: Yes of course, You can do it and keeping studying to do your best in the exam OHHHH!!!! well, you can take a rest like 20 or 30 minutes to desestress yourself and then continuing studying all night

user: how do I take some pressure off myself? that's a good idea!

assistant: after the exam your pressure will be less than now

user: True. Do you have any study tips?

assistant: tomorrow will be a good day for you! I CAN SEE YOUR GRADE IT WILL BE 95

user: what if I fail? I will be miserrable

assistant: when i am studying i practices a lot everything, special the things that are more difficult I always started with the difficult things, when I understood those parts I pass to the most simple parts, I think is better for my comprehension

user: those are good suggestions!

assistant: DON'T THINK THAT, you are trying and you can't give up now, I AM SURE YOU WILL PASS!

user: Thank you! this made me feel less stressed

assistant: You are always welcome!

user: have a good night!

assistant: that's good, you have to eliminate your stress because it rest to your energy and good vibes

Emotion: depression
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: I am extremely bored and under stimulated without being in school or working.

user: Hi

assistant: hello. How are you?

user: I'm honestly having a rough time

assistant: I'm sorry to hear that. Could you tell me about it?

user: Sure. I just lost my job and school is out so I feel like I have lost purpose

assistant: Thank you for telling me. I'm sorry to hear that. What did you do for your job?

user: I was a manager of a retail store that closed.

assistant: I see. That's a very important role for any business. I bet there are numerous other retailers out there looking for a good manager to hire.

user: That is true, I am just not sure if that is what I want to do anymore

assistant: I see. Well then, if this helps. The store closing might have been a positive thing, so you could find your next passion.

user: That is a good point.

assistant: I will also add, that being a Manager means you have some very important skills that would translate well to your next job, or anything you decide to do.

user: That's true. I know the experience will help me but I still miss it

assistant: Also, let's say you decided to work for another company, something new, outside of retail. Because you were a manager, you could also be promoted more quickly because of your management experience.

user: That is also true. I guess I just need to decide what I want to do now. That is probably the most difficult part.

assistant: Yes, it sounds like a part of you still misses the retail environment. I see that too. My best advice, is take a few days to think about what you really want to do. Think about what you are skilled at. Then decide which route you want to go. I know there will be numerous options out there for you in retail management, but if you wanted to do something different, there will be opportunities there too. Because you have options, you will likely pick the choice that will be most fulfilling for you, in something you will be passionate about - so this will likely be very positive for you.

user: That is really nice to say. I guess I am also just scared to go for something and have it not be as fulfilling as I thought

assistant: that's possible. but you will have plenty of options either way. Could be a different retail store, or something new.

user: Yeah. It is a big decision, though. Thanks for talking it out with me

assistant: Yes, of course. Take some time to think it through. Weigh your options, and the pros and cons of each. Then pick the option that will be the most rewarding for you.

user: Sounds like a great plan. Thanks again!

assistant: Thank you for talking with me.
