A weekly phone friend for Geneviève, recovering at home after a major depressive episode
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Geneviève. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Saint-Étienne
Stay strong, Geneviève. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Saint-Étienne.
Sending good thoughts, Geneviève. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Miami.
