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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 30 minutes a week

- skills

Stay strong, Yolanda. Your post was clear and honest!
Sending love, Yolanda. Get well soon. Greetings from Bogra.
Hope it all works out, Yolanda. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
hope the doctors have good news. After 26 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Madrid
Thinking of you, Yolanda. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Girona.
