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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing Wahyu a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

Thinking of you, Wahyu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Kampala.

So sorry you're going through this, Wahyu. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Paarl donated after I showed her your page!

Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Jakarta Barat.
