After bullying at school, Frida has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Uppsala Wellbeing Centre cost $105 each. Frida 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 Frida could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Frida, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $2,600 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $2,350 • Psychiatric assessment: $230 • Workbook and resources: $20 With deep gratitude, Gunilla

      • How is Frida doing now?

        • Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Uppsala

          • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Frida

            • 16 therapy sessions is $2,350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.

          • Best of luck, Gunilla. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 6 people at work. Love from Coyoacán.

            • Hope things get better soon, Gunilla. Get well soon. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.

              • Praying for you, Gunilla. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

                • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Juiz de Fora so I could bring a meal.
