After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 8 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.

Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Las Cruces
Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 16 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Las Cruces.
