My name is Amanda, and I am reaching out for help as I face a difficult chapter in my mental health journey. I have struggled with depression since childhood, and in 2022, I completed a round of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) that brought me much-needed relief. For 4 years, my depression was in remission and I was able to experience life without depression for the first time. Unfortunately, my symptoms have recently returned, including suicidal ideation, and I am determined to seek another round of TMS to get back on track.

I do not have insurance, and the cost of treatment is more than I can manage on my own. Every dollar raised will go directly toward covering the expenses of TMS sessions, which have proven to be effective for me in the past. Research shows that if TMS works for someone once, it is very likely to work again after a relapse, and I am holding onto hope that this will be true for me.

I am deeply grateful for the love and support I have received from friends throughout my life. I have so much to be thankful for, and I want nothing more than to feel better and continue building a life I love. If you are able to help, your support would be truly life-saving. Thank you for reading my story and considering a donation to my fundraiser.
