After bullying at school, 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 a private practice in Halifax cost $110 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 $2,250 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $2,000 • Psychiatric assessment: $195 • Workbook and resources: $55 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • Hang in there, Martine. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope May is when things finally get easier. God bless.

    • You're not alone, Martine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Birmingham.

      • Praying for you, Martine. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Osaka this morning. Greetings from Osaka.

        • I hope things turn around soon. Love from Taguig!

          • Take care. Wishing Martine a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
