After years of caregiving, 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 the Aberdeen Counselling Collective cost $50 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 20 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 $1,300 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,100 • Psychiatric assessment: $160 • Workbook and resources: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Aiden

      Hope things get better soon, Aiden. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

        Take care, Aiden. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update.

          Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
