Limerick
After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Limerick 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 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 $1,100 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $950 • Psychiatric assessment: $125 • Workbook and resources: $25 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
