After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Flávio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Thinking of you and your family, Flávio. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this, Flávio. Wishing Flávio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
good luck, Flávio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 3 people at work. God bless.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Thinking of you, Flávio. Shared this with my family. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Campinas
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Kampala
