After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Adama Wellbeing Centre 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 $350 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $290
• Psychiatric assessment: $35
• Workbook and resources: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Aurangabad.
How is Almaz doing now?
Thanks for sharing this, Almaz. This could happen to any of us. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Almaz.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 24 therapy sessions is the biggest at $290. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
rooting for you, Almaz. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Adama
Thinking of you and your family, Almaz. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
