• “I’ve been having a hard time lately. Getting really stressed out. You mind if I bounce some ideas off you?”
• “I’ve been pretty stressed lately and could use someone to chill with. When might be a good time to chat?”
• “I’ve been feeling a bit off for a while – kind of moody and stressed out. Have you noticed anything different about me lately?”
• “I’ve been feeling off for a while now. Have you ever found yourself in a funk that was hard to get out of?”
• “I haven’t been feeling myself lately. Little things seem to be really getting to me and it’s been hard to keep up with things. Not quite sure how to turn the ship around. Do you have any suggestions?”
• “I made an appointment with my doctor the other day and he thinks I might be suffering from depression. I don’t really know much about depression. How about you?”
• “My doctor recommended seeing a counsellor. But it’s tough trying to find one, let alone figure out if they are good or not. Would you be able to give me a hand to figure out where I can go?”
• “I’m really falling behind on some chores. When are you getting groceries next? Maybe we can go together.”
• “I want to get out more these days but I don’t have the energy. If you can think of something to do and plan it out, I’ll be more likely to get myself out of the house.”
