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 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.

hope things get better soon, Madelyn. Hope the doctors have good news. After 19 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Kathmandu.
best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Aswan.
take care, Madelyn. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
