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

Best of luck, Peter. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out!
