After burnout at work, 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 11 months, and private sessions at Giza Wellbeing Centre cost $10 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 24 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 $400 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $300
• Psychiatric assessment: $70
• Workbook and resources: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Johannesburg this morning. Greetings from Johannesburg.
Hope things get better soon, Lubna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. After 22 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
