I've been feeling really sad lately. I think I have depression

Is there any reason that triggered your sadness?
assistant
Question
It's 2020 so there's been a lot going on, but I've been struggling with this before all of that. 2020 has made it much worse though

I am sorry you feel this way. Do you live with friends or family?

I live on my own... well at least as the only human. I have a dog

That is great that you at least have your dog. They're great companion

She is amazing and my love and joy. On days I feel I cannot get out of bed and I don't have work, I get up for her

How about you hang out once a week with your friends and share your problem with them?
assistant

I wish. We haven't had the time recently to connect due to being so busy. Do you have any tips or ticks for things I can do by myself?
user

Of course. Now that covid is closing everything. You can use that time to take a course online for free. Or you can pursue your hobbies
assistant
Others
Right. Online courses are fun

Have you tried seeking therapist?
assistant
Question
I need to. I just haven't had the money to see one. They're expensive
user

I think there are quite a few hotline for free, obviously not as good as your personal one, however you can use that when you need to talk to an expert
assistant

Yeah...
