After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this, Jun. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Richards Bay donated after I showed her your page. Love from Richards Bay.
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Dar es Salaam.
