After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Angel. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 16 people at work. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Angel. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Lagos donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you, Angel. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings!
