A kind voice on the phone: Rashid's request
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 8 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Lahore
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!
hope things get better soon, Rashid. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
keep going, Rashid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update.
