After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Riyadh cost $50 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 $1,400 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,200
• Psychiatric assessment: $150
• Workbook and resources: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Manal. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Riyadh
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manal.
It's all in the list in the story. 24 therapy sessions is the big one at $1,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Praying for you, Manal. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.
How is Manal doing now?
Wishing you peace, Manal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Stay strong, Manal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
