After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Durban Counselling Collective cost $30 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $350 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $280
• Psychiatric assessment: $55
• Workbook and resources: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you. Get well soon. We're a small family in Kolkata but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Rachel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 25 people at work
Thanks for sharing this, Rachel. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Rohini.
