Mangaluru
After burnout at work, Sudha has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Mangaluru Counselling Collective cost $10 each. Sudha has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Sudha could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Sudha, and we're 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 $400 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $350 • Psychiatric assessment: $25 • Workbook and resources: $25 Every share and every dollar helps. - Dinesh

  • So sorry you're going through this, Dinesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Mangaluru.

    • how is Sudha doing now?

      • sending love, Dinesh. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!

        • Good luck, Dinesh. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
