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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Shawn. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
good luck, Shawn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Kolkata.
Sending good thoughts, Shawn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you. Blessings
