For the past 6 months I have been in Eating Disorder treatment for a severe relapse in October after a traumatic suicide attempt in July. If you know me, you likely know that this has been an ongoing struggle for me since I was a teenager. My mental health struggles have been a huge battle for me my whole life and I have tried countless strategies and treatments to heal.

I am currently in a Partial Hospitalization Program in Seattle. This program is the best program I have experienced and I am committed to seeing it through until I am ready to step back down to “normal life.” My treatment team was able to pinpoint that a lot of my longstanding struggles are the result of clinically severe PTSD. I am processing this information and exploring strategies to address the trauma I have experienced. Truly this is the hardest and most painful work I have ever done.

This is my need… I have exhausted my savings and maxed my credit cards and borrowed money from loved ones to afford this necessary treatment. I am deeply hurting financially. I know this is a hard time for a lot of people in terms of money and living expenses. If you cannot give finances to support me I TOTALLY understand. Your thoughts and prayers mean the world to me.

If you choose to give (any amount) THANK YOU. This work I am doing is quite literally life saving for me.

If you have questions feel free to message me personally. All of this is difficult for me to discuss but I will do my best to respond authentically.

All my love,

Jo
