🇳🇬 Nigeria435 views
After a long hospital stay, 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 9 months, and private sessions at the Lagos Counselling Collective 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 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 $300 goes:
• 24 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.

Hope it all works out, Ronke. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope October is when things finally get easier
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Lagos
Thanks for sharing this, Ronke. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
