Question
My girlfriend broke up with me and I think I'm suffering from depression now. Everything feels like a chore and I'm sad all of the time.
user

From what you are telling me, you are very upset about your girlfriend breaking up with you and you don't feel motivated to do anything, is that right?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Yeah
user

I can tell how anxious and upset that is making you feel.
assistant
Reflection of feelings
I feel like a heavy weight is on me all the time. I'm not enjoying things I used to in the past.
user

I can definitely understand that feeling as I had an ex who cheated on me and had a child with another man, so I know how hard that is.

How did you start to feel better?
user
null
I focused a lot on myself and making more time to do some of the hobbies that I didn't get a chance to do when we were together.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
I wouldn't even know where to begin. I don't want to do anything right now.
user

I know things are really hard right now, but I know you will make it through this!
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Thanks, I appreciate it. What do you suggest I should do to begin with?
user

Have you talked to her since she broke up with you? Sometimes it helps to talk with your ex so you can get closure on the situation.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
No I haven't talked to her. I think that would only make me feel worse right now.
user
null
I understand that, have you tried to talk to a friend or family member who has gone through the same thing?
assistant
Providing Suggestions
No, I haven't yet but that is a good idea.
user
null
Doing that definitely helped me too!
assistant
Others
I was thinking about going to a gym.
user

I think that would definitely help too!

I want to start dating in the future but I am afraid.
user

I felt the same way for a while after my breakup as well, but after I took my time it was good to get back into the dating game.
