After a violent robbery, 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 Nairobi 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 $250 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $190 • Psychiatric assessment: $50 • Workbook and resources: $10 Thanks for reading all this.

    Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
