After the death of both parents, 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 a private practice in Richards Bay cost $20 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 $450 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $310
• Psychiatric assessment: $115
• Workbook and resources: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Mthunzi?
Thank you. If you're in Richards Bay I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
