After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
Glad we found this place.

sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope September is when things finally get easier
