Has school from home had anegative affect on you? usr : Yeah, I feel like I can't focus because I'm back home with my family and I just feel like there are so many distractions. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It's interesting that you find being home more distracting than being away in a dorm. usr : Yeah thats really the reason I wanted to go away from college. I dont really have my own space when I'm here. usr : People just come in and out of my room as they please in spite of how busy I am. sys : (Reflection of feelings) Yeah sometimes families can struggle with the idea of boundaries. sys : (Self-disclosure) I also went away to school for similar reasons, but I actually found college life way more distracting tbh. sys : (Question) Have you told your family about the issues your having? usr : I honestly am worried that they will be disappointed. Maybe that's crazy. I just remember how proud they were when I got this scholarship. I don't want them to blame me. sys : (Reflection of feelings) OK, that makes sense.

How can I help you? usr : I'm feeling anxious about finding work and and impatient with the application process at many places I"ve applied. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So from what I am understanding, you have been applying for jobs and you are having anxiety about finding one and waiting through the application process. usr : Yes thats right. I keep trying and feel like I"m not getting anywhere. sys : (Reflection of feelings) Just from the few messages we have shared I can tell how anxious this is making you. usr : Yes. I think that I might have to try to find a different type of work than I"m used to and I'm not sure I'll be good at trying something new. sys : (Self-disclosure) I just recently went through a layoff at my company, and I had the same situation trying to find another job. It is very stressful. usr : I wish that I could get more of a reason than just a denial of my application. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and most companies won't give any feedback. sys : (Providing Suggestions) What have you done to reach out for feedback from the companies? Often it helps to send e-mails or make phone calls to have them give you some feedback. usr : I haven't tried reaching out. Most of the places I"ve been applying are huge corporations with no one to call at HR. Maybe I should try to apply somewhere locally and see if I have better luck. At least then I could talk to a person. sys : (Others) I think that would be a great start! sys : (Providing Suggestions) It also might help to get business cards from the people you interview with in order to be able to reach out to them in the future. usr : Thats a great idea. I've been considering going back to school to see if I can maybe get a higher degree. usr : Ive got a Bachelors degree now and it seems like everything takes a Masters degree these days. sys : (Question) What type of work are you interested in? usr : What I'm most interested in is importing and exporting of exotic fruit but the recent restrictions on travel have really hurt the business. usr : I've been thinking maybe I'll go back to school for something more practical like plumbing sys : (Information) I think that would be a great idea! It has been shown that people with higher level degrees make more money and have more opportunity than those without, usr : Ugh getting accepted for a masters program sounds stressful. I'm thinking I can't go wrong by becoming a plumber or an electrician. Everyone always needs that, even with the pandemic. sys : (Providing Suggestions) I think learning a trade would also be a great idea! I would definitely reach out to see where you can start that process. usr : I wish there was a way you could try different jobs for a few days to see if you like it before starting the process of going to school

(Reflection of feelings) From our conversation so far, I can tell you are extremely anxious about this whole situation.

And I can't sleep sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Please try not to worry, this is a very common thing to happen to people. I will try to help you all that I can. usr : Right, I can't decide what I should do, should I leave my job or not. sys : (Question) Do you feel as though another job might be more intellectually fulfilling for you? usr : That's a really good question. I think it would, but I'm worried I wont be any good at it. sys : (Self-disclosure) I understand how difficult it can be to take what might be a life changing move. I have been in that position myself. I can't tell you what to do but I can say that it worked out very well for me. usr : I don't like feeling lots of anxiety, so I feel like I want to keep doing what I'm doing. But then I don't want to miss out on this new opportunity. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you contemplated seeing your doctor? They might be able to help with your anxiety. usr : I haven't thought about seeing a doctor. It could help. But I also feel like nothing can help me. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know things can feel hopeless when you're in a bad mental place but please don't lose hope. Things will definitely improve but I think you should take steps to help yourself too usr : Yes, that is it, it feels hopeless. I've always had so much anxiety over my life, I'm so sick of it. I wish I could just feel calm for a little bit. sys : (Information) I know that a very large percent of the population suffers from anxiety at some point or another. There are therapies that can help. usr : Maybe I should seek treatment, I haven't thought about doing that. sys : (Information) There are lots of different routes you can go down when it comes to treatment. Some people prefer therapy whilst others take medication, or a combination of the two.You have to find what works for you. usr : That does sound like a good idea. Since we are in COVID, I don't see or talk to anyone that I used it. So I feel pretty lonely, just going in circles in my head.

(Question) Do you feel as though Covid is making your situation worse than it would otherwise be?

But, I do know she still wants me to go...the problem is if I bring it up, she gets really angry. It's like I can't win. usr : I think she thinks when I try to talk about it, it means I want to leave and since there's nothing either of us can do about it, she hates me even more...because it implies I can't stand her. If that makes any sense. usr : She's extremely non-confrontational. (except for that one day where she just let it all out--hates my personality apparently)

(Others) Yeah, if she is non-confrontational that means that you will have to initiate it

sys : (Others) Hi usr : Hi, I am in a bad mood and am hoping you can help :) sys : (Question) What's wrong? usr : My roommate has told me she wants me to move out but I have no where to go. I feel helpless. sys : (Question) Is there a reason she wants to leave? usr : She says I'm too critical and I complain too much. Meanwhile, she's the miserable one. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Maybe you could help her feel more comfortable around you, as that is what I would do :) usr : She's had both vaccines and watches CNN 20 hours a day...meanwhile I watch positive videos, do yoga, meditate and work all day. She's projecting. usr : I'm trying. I'm not saying anything negative even though that's just my NY personality. She doesn't have a sense of humor though. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It seems like you two don't share a lot of chemistry.

She didn't go for that idea.

(Question) yeah but you can't really take such a gamble tbh. And why did she buy it, is it because she wanted you to live in it?

(Affirmation and Reassurance) I thank you for that, but we are here for you now, heh. They can be, it really helps to lay all the pieces on the table and try to put everything back where it goes. Sometimes you just have to break it all down to build it back up.

### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about depression regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says "My account went into the negative this morning.".

Although, it's very important to do so.

(Affirmation and Reassurance) Yea, you do come out stronger in the end though. Its a good fight to get into. You seem to be talking the steps you need to, which is very good, not many people can or are willing too.

(Affirmation and Reassurance) That's great! Poetry is something you can share in person or over video link. What about physical activities? I think that yoga might be something that you can do by yourself and with others. There are a bunch of videos on sites like YouTube.
