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 6 months, and private sessions at the Newcastle Counselling Collective cost $85 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 $1,150 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $920
• Psychiatric assessment: $200
• Workbook and resources: $30
Thank you so much.
- Melanie

Keep going, Melanie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from San Jose.
Wishing you peace, Melanie. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Bekasi
Thinking of you. Get well soon. All the best
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Cork this morning.
