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.

You're not alone, Pranav. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Hope it all works out, Pranav. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. All the best
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. Greetings from Dasmariñas.
