After the loss of my brother, 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 9 months, and private sessions at the Madrid Counselling Collective cost $70 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 $950 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $750
• Psychiatric assessment: $150
• Workbook and resources: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Salma
Good news. Because of your gifts ($403 in total) I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Salma.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 20 therapy sessions is the biggest at $750. Thanks for looking so closely.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Katowice this morning.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal.
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Campinas.
so sorry you're going through this, Salma. This could happen to any of us.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Madrid.
