A weekly phone friend for Gili, 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 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 music, books and gardening, 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 hope life is good to you.

Wishing Gili a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 32 people at work. Take care
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 19 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Stockholm so I could bring a meal. All the best.
