After the loss of my brother, 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 8 months, and private sessions at Bakersfield Wellbeing Centre cost $65 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 $2,200 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,900
• Psychiatric assessment: $250
• Workbook and resources: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck, Douglas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Port Harcourt.
Shared it with a few friends. After 8 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
