🇮🇳 Mangaluru, Karnataka, India1,775 views
After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Mangaluru Counselling Collective cost $15 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm grateful for your kindness without judgment.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $300 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $270
• Psychiatric assessment: $20
• Workbook and resources: $10
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bakersfield.
