After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Jakarta Wellbeing Centre cost $10 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 $400 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $320
• Psychiatric assessment: $45
• Workbook and resources: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Lestari
Thank you all. We're at 47% now ($188). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $103 raised so far (26%). the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

wishing you the best, Lestari. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Cox's Bazar this morning. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Lestari. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
