After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.

Wishing you peace. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Gujranwala.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hang in there. Get well soon. Take care.
