I was homeless. I had to leave a place I loved. It was mentally a bad state.
I did not like experiencing the feelings of a bad time in my life.
I think that chatting went smoothly, there was real empathy from the supporter
Hello, how are you today?

Okay try not to worry. Can you tell me a bit about why you feel so bad?
assistant

I got kicked out of the home I was living in.
user

Wow I am really sorry. Were you living with family, or with friends?
assistant
Question
I lived in a rented room.
user

So you were thrown out from a place you were renting? Did you do anything wrong?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
No. The renter said he just wanted me out. He also charged me ninety extra dollars.
user

Wow that is illegal. Do you know that there are organisations that can help you with this sort of thing?
assistant
Information
No. I did not. I asked my exboyfriend at the time for advice. He just say to pay him and move.

I think that that was bad advice to be honest. I think that you are being ripped off. Do not worry, there are things that you can do about it!
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
That is reassuring. I would like action to be taken for justice.

You are definitely entitled to it. Do you have somewhere else to live in the meantime?
assistant
Question
I have a couch to crash on. Another guy said I could store my furniture in his basement. But no official room.

It's a precarious position to be in, especially during a pandemic. Do you have any family members who might help?
assistant
Providing Suggestions
Yes, I could call my mother. She has a room to stay in. But I only have the money to drive to her home, not the money for a rental truck to move all my stuff.
user
null
Would any family members be prepared to loan you money or a vehicle?
assistant
Question
I could ask my aunt to use her car, she has an SUV, where as I drive a sedan.
user
null
How much stuff do you have that needs to be moved?
assistant
Others
Queen bed, bed frame, small desk, roll chair, bookshelf, rug, boxes of kitchen stuff, etc.
user

Try not to worry too much - I was in this position once myself and it did all turn out for the best though it was very scary at the time.
assistant
Self-disclosure
Yes, I feel almost numb from the depression. Like non of my stuff matters, only that I am physically safe.
user
null
I think it would be a good idea for you to try and get medical help for your depression.
assistant
Others
Yes, I agree. Asking for help is a plan.
