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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.

Thinking of you, Aarón. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Aarón. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Take care, Aarón. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Hope it all works out, Aarón. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending good thoughts, Aarón. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
