A kind voice on the phone: Shoaib's request
Shoaib 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 4 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Shoaib. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Kochi.
Hang in there, Shoaib. Shared this with my family.
Thinking of you. Get well soon. After 10 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Ikeja.
