After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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. Thank you so much.

    Praying for you, Araceli. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.

            Take care, Araceli. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Sรฃo Paulo.
