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.

You're not alone, Imelda. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Petrópolis.
Wishing you the best, Imelda. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Wudil.
