"I’m doing better now, thank you!"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻‍♂️"

"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"

"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"

"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"

"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"

"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"

"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"

"Thanks for the wonderful advice"

"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽‍♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"

"Ok thanks for your help 😀"

"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"

"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"

"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"

"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"

"Do you think I have depression?"

"My boyfriend broke up with me"

"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."

"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"

"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."

"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."

"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea!"
