After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Nsukka Wellbeing Centre 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 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 $165 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $130
• Psychiatric assessment: $30
• Workbook and resources: $5
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
What's already covered and what's the $165 for?
20 therapy sessions is $130 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
take care, Obinna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Obinna?
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
