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 Mandaue 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 $300 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $250
• Psychiatric assessment: $30
• Workbook and resources: $20
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

how is Patricia doing now?
Sending love, Patricia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from São Paulo.
