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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

so sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Wishing you peace. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Townsville.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Syracuse
good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Sending strength, Maurício. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
