After the miscarriage, 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 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Rockford 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 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 $1,600 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $1,400 • Psychiatric assessment: $175 • Workbook and resources: $25 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ruby?

      Thank you. If you're in Rockford I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

        Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

          reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!
