After the death of both parents, 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 Hyderabad cost $15 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 $255 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $210
• Psychiatric assessment: $40
• Workbook and resources: $5
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Swati
Good news. Because of your gifts ($58 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($30). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward 12 therapy sessions.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 4% funded and I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Swati.
It's all in the list in the story. 12 therapy sessions is the big one at $210, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
wishing you peace, Swati. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Swati?
Thank you. If you're in Hyderabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Stay strong, Swati. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Hyderabad
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Stay strong, Swati. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Ikeja.
