After years of caregiving, 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 9 months, and private sessions at Cork Wellbeing Centre cost $80 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $1,405 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $1,150
• Psychiatric assessment: $250
• Workbook and resources: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Dermot. Wishing Dermot a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Dermot?
Thank you. If you're in Cork I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Cork.
Thinking of you, Dermot. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Stay strong, Dermot. 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, Dermot. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dermot!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 20 therapy sessions comes first ($1,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope things get better soon, Dermot. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Greetings from Mumbai.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Campinas
sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 17 people at work.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
