Hello , firstly thank you for reading this . This funding page is me taking my life back , choosing to live and heal and believe in hope not just for myself but for others too .
My life has been devastated by childhood trauma . I have dual diagnoses of Complex PTSD , Dissociative Identity Disorder and Stress related Psychosis .
Before my trauma surfaced I was highly functioning , I ran my own business and had many hopes and dreams . I'm now 33 , but the last 8 years of my life have been utter hell . Multiple suicide attempts , psychiatric admissions and revolving door treatment that never got to the root cause . In 2023 I received NHS funding to go to a specialist trauma clinic . Whilst this was life changing and I made great progress , the funding ran out and I was under going a lot of stress . I was homeless awaiting accommodation and this put a lot of pressure on me .
I've gone downhill recently and been on further waiting lists but without the support I need . I am desperate to go back to the clinic and finish my treatment . During my first admission I was still on a lot of medication which made me very numb . My intention for another admission is to slowly remove the medication so I am able to process the trauma fully .
I am running out of time , I have always dreamed of being a Mother and having a family of my own and unless I heal I fear this will never happen . I know the treatment approach at the clinic I went to works . I just needed longer , without stressful circumstances hanging over me .
For years I gave up , I put my life in other peoples hands and became a victim to my circumstances . This fund raiser is me taking back control and fighting for my life and the treatment I know will help me to heal and thrive . I endeavour to pay forward all of the help I have had and skills I have learned one day hoping to start my own charity .
My treatment will take place at Khiron clinics .
I would need the clinic due to the supervision needed coming off of my medication . The cost for one week is just under £7000 . I ideally need 3 months minimum but I know that this is a big ask . Any funds I can raise to even go back for a few weeks would make a huge difference to me . If I do not raise enough money to go back to Khiron I would put any and all donations towards individual private therapy sessions .
I have suffered beyond anything I could adequately put into words . And I know I deserve the chance to fully heal now . To fight for myself and be the person I needed when I was younger .
Thank you for reading and for your support . Any donation , would drastically help and support my treatment and give me the hope to finally overcome all of this .
Love Sarah
