After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hang in there. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings!
wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Dnipro.
Good luck, Stepan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Odesa so I could bring a meal
Take care, Stepan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 26 people at work. Greetings from Lagos.
