After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Toronto cost $115 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,350
• Psychiatric assessment: $300
• Workbook and resources: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Toronto

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
You're not alone, Declan. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!
Hope the doctors have good news. After 23 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
