After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Ngozika. Your post was clear and honest.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Bonny.
thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Fukuoka.
Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Taguig.
Wishing you the best, Ngozika. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Pattaya donated after I showed her your page. Love from Pattaya
