A weekly phone friend for Sunita, 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 7 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.
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Sunita. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Lviv
hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
You're not alone, Sunita. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Wishing Sunita a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from San Francisco!
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Birmingham but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Toronto
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
