A kind voice on the phone: Pradeep's request
Pradeep 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 3 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Pradeep. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
wishing you peace, Pradeep. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Setagaya
Praying for you, Pradeep. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Faisalabad.
