Britt is isolated after a major depressive episode: a call a week would help
Britt is housebound after a major depressive episode and is looking for a friendly, patient person for a weekly call.

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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

- 30 minutes a week

I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Uppsala.
So sorry you're going through this, Britt. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
