After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Sacramento Wellbeing Centre cost $105 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 $2,150 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,800 • Psychiatric assessment: $330 • Workbook and resources: $20 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      Good luck, Russell. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.

        Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
