Kurniawan is isolated after a major depressive episode: a call a week would help
Kurniawan 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 5 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Keep going, Kurniawan. Wishing Kurniawan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Fresno
So sorry you're going through this, Kurniawan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
You're not alone, Kurniawan. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
