Lola 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 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going, Lola. Get well soon.
good luck, Lola. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Best of luck, Lola. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Ogbomosho
Wishing you the best, Lola. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Take care, Lola. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
