A kind voice on the phone: Anastasia's request
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 7 weeks. My family live far away, and the days can feel very long. I'm not looking for therapy - I've that covered - but for conversation.
I'm hoping for someone who can call for about 30 minutes once a week whenever suits us both. I like film, travel stories and poetry, and can listen to anything.
This can be from anywhere in the world as long as you speak English. We can arrange the calls through the platform, with email shared only when we're both comfortable.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Anastasia. Hope this works out for you. All the best
Hope it all works out, Anastasia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Coimbatore so I could bring a meal.
Sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Makati
