I work a dead end job.
It was OK. It is tough to solve a problem talking with someone that doesn't know anything about you.
No, this was interesting to participate in.
Hi, can I help you today? I am available to listen and help you think through some things. I know it can be difficult to express how we are feelings sometimes.

Do you have a specific problem that you are experiencing?
assistant
Question
I work a dead end job with no potential and it is depressing being there for 9 hours a day. Thats why I am on here instead of working.
user

That sounds really exhausting. You work longer hours than a normal job and must feel really burned out.
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Yeah the burn out isn't the worst I experienced. I previously worked jobs that I was at for 12 hours a day but they were more rewarding.

You are definitely a hard worker and I hope you know that. You make a great employee puttin in som many hours.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
I am there for 9 hours. I probably only work for 1 hour a day. The rest of the time I am killing time.

I was in a job that I felt was a waste of time and I was able to find another one eventually. I understand how you can feel. Do you have any plans to look for different work in the future?
assistant
Self-disclosure
No. I have no energy to find a new job. Also given the pandemic, keeping a secure paying job is more important than happiness.

I can relate to that feeling too. You are exhausted and feeling like you cant get out of a rut sort of?
assistant

Yes you hit the nail on the head. In a rut for sure.

I am glad that you are expressing yourslef today and facing your feelings. This could be a start to changing somethings in your life. It isn't usually easy talking about being in a rut.

I would like to suggest starting a journal to write down just the bullet points of how you feel at the end of each day. Would you consider trying this activity?
assistant
Providing Suggestions
No. It has been suggested to me before. While I understand the benefits, it is something that I don't feel like doing.

It can help to review your own thoughts dad to day and attempt to find a pattern that you may not be aware of in your life.
assistant
Information
That's a good point about recognizing patterns.

You could always start with just taking 5 minutes per day and after a week quit it and reach back out and we can try something else.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
That is a good idea. I also see a psychologist and a psychiatrist for help.
user

That is very productive. We have a lot of ideas for therapy and can work on finding the best one for you if journaling is a fail. Thank you for reaching out today!
