After a long hospital stay, 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 a private practice in Syracuse cost $115 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 $1,600 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,300 • Psychiatric assessment: $270 • Workbook and resources: $30 Thank you for reading my story. - Sharon

      Sure. The biggest one is 20 therapy sessions, $1,300. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.

  • Hang in there, Sharon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
