A kind voice on the phone: Jing's request
Jing 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 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.

Hope it all works out. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't give up. Thinking of Dallas.
Praying for you, Jing. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 11 people at work.
