A kind voice on the phone: Jackson's request
Jackson is housebound after a major depressive episode and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Jackson. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Thane.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Johannesburg!
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Victoria.
Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 13 people at work.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Victoria
Hang in there, Jackson. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
