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 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Jimma cost $15 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 10 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 $300 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $220
• Psychiatric assessment: $45
• Workbook and resources: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Kisumu this morning.
praying for you, Aster. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Keep going, Aster. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning.
Get well soon. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 10 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
