Cristina is isolated after a major depressive episode: a call a week would help
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 12 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Cristina. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
thinking of you and your family. Get well soon. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Melbourne
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
