After bullying at school, Antônia has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $750.

After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Santos Wellbeing Centre cost $35 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 12 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $750 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $630
• Psychiatric assessment: $95
• Workbook and resources: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Antônia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Islamabad.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Uberlândia donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Santos.
Thanks for sharing this, Antônia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best
sending good thoughts, Antônia. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Salvador.
Hope things get better soon, Antônia. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
