After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Arlington Wellbeing Centre cost $90 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,600
• Psychiatric assessment: $165
• Workbook and resources: $35
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, Howard. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Howard. Wishing Howard a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Nsukka.
Wishing you the best. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Stellenbosch
hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Southampton this morning. Thinking of Arlington.
Hope things get better soon, Howard. Get well soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Haifa.
Take care, Howard. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope it all works out, Howard. This could happen to any of us.
so sorry you're going through this, Howard. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Arlington
