A weekly phone friend for Yamini, 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 10 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Yamini. Wishing Yamini a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Eldoret so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Yamini. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Epe
take care, Yamini. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
