After a long COVID relapse, 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.
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Sending strength, Zahra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Nagoya
