Cox's Bazar
After a long hospital stay, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Cox's Bazar 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 12 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 $250 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $175 • Psychiatric assessment: $45 • Workbook and resources: $30 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Arif

  1. Update from Cox's Bazar: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($31 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $10 raised so far (4%). the plan for workbook and resources is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Arif
