A kind voice on the phone: Ghada'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 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        Hang in there, Ghada. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Yokohama but we're thinking of you. God bless.

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
