Question
I am feeling depressed
user

If you tell me what's going on, I will be more than glad to help
assistant
Question
I can't pinpoint what exactly is making me feel this way. It could be the pandemic. But basically I started to feel that there is not much point in anything.
user

The pandemic can definetely be a key factor here. When it first started, I remember feeling lost and unsure about things that I would normally would have no problem with. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

Do you have any family, girlfriend, boyfriend, children?
assistant
Question
I have family and a boyfriend but they all live far and I have not seen them in while.

Not seeing your closed ones or simply being apart from them can be more than enough to make us feel depressed or blue. Have you tried doing videocalls with them, for example?

Yes sometimes. I don't tell them how I feel though. I don't want them to worry about me.

I understand. However, there is nothing wrong with telling them that you are sad because you miss them. Something as simple as getting it off your chest can already make you feel better.
assistant

I suppose. I just worry that I will make them sad too. It's hard time for everyone.
user

Totally, but remember than they are there for you whenever you need them.
assistant
Reflection of feelings
Yes that's true. Do you have any suggestions on what to say?
user

I bet something as simple as "Hey babe, I really miss you. I can't be glad with your abscence" could make your boyfriend feel loved while at the same time relieving you.
assistant

That is true. I believe I have a problem showing vulnerability.
user

That might be why you were unsure about telling them. Believe me, there is nothing wrong with showing vulnerability. We are all vulnerable in one way or another.
assistant
Reflection of feelings
I haven't been with my boyfriend that long before the pandemic started so I still have some fears and trust issues. I fear that being weak pushes people away.

Hey, if he is the right one for you, he will completeley accept you as you are and love you. In the unlikely event that he "rejects" you for being "vulnerable", he wasn't even worth it in the first place. You deserve someone that appreciates you as much as you appreciate them :3

That is true. I should be brave enough to find out if he will be there when the chips are down. I am going to do it
