After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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 music, books and gardening, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Charles. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Poznań
rooting for you, Charles. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. God bless.
