After military deployment, 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 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Cincinnati cost $100 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,600
• Psychiatric assessment: $410
• Workbook and resources: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you the best, José. Wishing José a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care
Thinking of you, José. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending love, José. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless!
Take care, José. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Kozhikode.
Sending strength, José. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
Wishing you the best. Get well soon. After 19 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Take care, José. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon, José. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
