After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Nuremberg Wellbeing Centre cost $75 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 20 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 $1,505 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $1,250
• Psychiatric assessment: $250
• Workbook and resources: $5
Thanks for reading all this.

Hang in there, Matthias. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Onitsha!
sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Nuremberg
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Matthias.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 20 therapy sessions is the biggest at $1,250. I'll keep the page updated.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 31 people at work
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Matthias?
Thank you. If you're in Nuremberg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Nuremberg.
Wishing you peace, Matthias. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Riyadh
stay strong, Matthias. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Epe!
wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Good luck, Matthias. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
