Inés is isolated after a major depressive episode: a call a week would help
Inés 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 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.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Atlanta.
Hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 38 people at work. God bless
thinking of you and your family, Inés. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Thinking of you, Inés. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
