After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 10 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Malathi. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours
Best of luck, Malathi. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Wishing you the best, Malathi. I hope things turn around soon.
You're not alone, Malathi. Hope the doctors have good news. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Malathi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
