Ricardo 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 3 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 music, books and gardening, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Keep going, Ricardo. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Guadalajara.
Hang in there, Ricardo. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours.
Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Fukuoka.
Best of luck, Ricardo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
hang in there, Ricardo. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
