After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Çankaya Wellbeing Centre cost $25 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 $650 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $570
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

How is Irmak doing now?
Keep going, Irmak. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Marseille.
Praying for you, Irmak. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
