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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this, Anita. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings!
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Mumbai.
I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Islamabad!
Good luck, Anita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. All the best.
