After a major depressive episode, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Shared it with a few friends. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Los Angeles.
Wishing you peace, Thabo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Coventry but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Entebbe this morning.
Keep going, Thabo. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
