I've been feeling really stressed lately.

I'm sorry to hear that, what's going on?
human
Work has just been really overwhelming. Deadlines keep getting pushed up and it's difficult to keep up.

Have you talked to your boss about it? Maybe they can offer some support or even push back some deadlines.

That's a good idea, I think I will. I just feel like I need to be in control of everything and it's hard to ask for help.
gpt
I understand, but it's okay to ask for help when you need it. Remember how we talked about finding a healthy balance between control and surrendering some control?
human
Yes, I remember. It's just hard to put into practice sometimes.
gpt
I know, but let's work on it together. Maybe we can come up with some strategies to help you manage stress better.
human
I'd like that. Thank you for being so supportive.

Of course, that's what partners are for. We're in this together and we'll figure it out together.
