assistant: I hear that they don't understand, can you explain further Can you tell me more?

user: My co-workers feel that this whole pandemic thing is a government conspiracy to lessen the overpopulation in this world. It really hurts me cause I have people who have passed due to this. THIS IS REAL!!

assistant: There are a lot of people who are struggling and it is clearly a very upsetting time for you. Have you considered whether your colleagues are simply hiding their worry? Have you tried talking to them?

user: Yet it is upsetting and I worry for them.

assistant: That is extremely compassionate of you.

user: I tried talking to them. I tried to reason with them. They feel that life is life. No it is not. Now I respect their positions in life, but since we work together, we have to protect other feelings as well.

assistant: There is a lot of concern about, are your work following guidelines?

user: I am very anxious cause I need to run to the bathroom and breath Work guidelines we are following. I want the anxiety to stop.

assistant: I am also in this situation at work, I have used breathing methods to calm myself down which worked, have you tried anything like this?

user: It is simple, put on mask and work, when you get out of the office then do what you want. I am anxious now and using a breathing exercise as I type

assistant: So you are frustrated because others are not using masks, have I got that right?

user: It's not that they are not using masks, it is their position and reasons not to wear the masks and that puts others in a scary and anxious position at their workplace where in these times, work is scare. What is your point of view on masks?

assistant: Just from talking to you, I can feel how anxious you are and this is made worse by your colleagues, perhaps they are struggling in different ways with this.

assistant: There are guidelines on how work places should be handling the COVID issue. Has your manager gone through any guidelines with the team?

user: Yes he has and is going to go over it on Monday with all of us and we should come to an agreement

assistant: That seems like a really good time to go through how you feel. Writing how you feel down can help to ensure that you get your feelings across. Do you think that is something you could do?

user: Yes, this is something I can do. You have been a great help listening to my issues.
