After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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.

Hope things get better soon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Rotterdam.

Hang in there, Charlotte. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

You're not alone, Charlotte. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

Thinking of you, Charlotte. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Jakarta.
