My boyfriend just left me after 3 years of living together. I am so depressed, I don’t know what to do.  I feel worthless.
I thought 15 minutes was too long but it went by faster than I thought it would.  Response from partner could have been faster.
Partner response should be faster.
Hello! How is life treating you today?

Life is bad to day. My bbboyfireind just left me, I am alone in the house. I have no one to share things with.

I am really sorry about that - you are feeling that you've been deserted?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Yes, that is exactly how I feel. I was deserted, I feel unlovable, like no one will ever want me again.

Please don't think that! I have been in this situation and I know how awful it is but I also know that it will pass.
assistant
Self-disclosure
It doesn’t;t feel like it will pass. It feels like it will only get worse. I don’t want to go to bed alone. I won’t be able to sleep tonight.

Would you be able to go and visit friends or family members? Get some support?

My family is out of town. My friends were also his friends and he told lies about me so they wont talk to me. I want to just get drunk and go to sleep.

Oh that is not a good idea. Do you think you have an alcohol problem? There are support groups out there who could help you.
assistant

I hear you. Do you have any pets or anything at all to keep you company?
assistant

Do you think I should call him and ask him to come back? He took our dog.
user

I think you should get the dog back but I don't think you should call your ex - you are better off without him.

But I still love him. He did sleep with my best friend, but he said it didn’t mean anything. I really miss him,

I think you should value yourself more highly than this. If he slept with your best friend then he is nothing. You can do a great deal better, I am sure!

Yeah, I need the dog. He gave it to me as a puppy for my birthday. I can’t believe he took it.

Tomorrow you can try to think of how to go on with things :). Contact some legal aid people to help you get your dog back for one.
