A weekly phone friend for Sérgio, recovering at home after a major depressive episode
No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 3 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Cartagena but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
sending strength, Sérgio. I hope things turn around soon.
Sending good thoughts, Sérgio. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together!
Rooting for you, Sérgio. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Best of luck, Sérgio. This could happen to any of us
