Puja is housebound after a major depressive episode and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 12 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 30 minutes a week

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Pune.
Hope you get there. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 23 people at work. God bless.
wishing you peace, Puja. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Puja. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
