After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.

    Sending love, Camila. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless

      Sending good thoughts, Camila. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Buenos Aires.

      • Bruno F. Sánchez

        Sending good thoughts, Camila. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Madina so I could bring a meal. Take care.
