Mental health support for Manoj after years of caregiving
Manoj is working through years of caregiving and needs help paying for 20 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇮🇳 Kolkata, West Bengal, India1,378 views
After years of caregiving, 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 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Kolkata cost $15 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 $450 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $390
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $10
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Prayagraj but we're thinking of you. Take care
Hope it all works out, Manoj. Your post was clear and honest.
how is Manoj doing now?
Praying for you, Manoj. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
You're not alone, Manoj. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Kolkata.
you're not alone, Manoj. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Laval this morning
