NISHA'S WELLNESS JOURNEY...

Hello to everyone following us on this journey. 2 weeks ago, I nearly lost my girl, Nisha. Her past and the current pressures of life caught up with her and she attempted to commit suicide. Thankfully she was found, and decided herself to check herself in to a mental health unit. This is significant because Nisha has had suicidal ideation for 4.5 years, but has never accepted help. Nisha doesn't want to die...

Nisha suffers from anxiety, depression and has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. We and her doctors believe this was triggered by trauma in childhood when she lost her father to suicide at age 9, and some other traumatic occurrences of a highly personal nature. Nisha was discharged from hospital 1 week after being admitted, then she readmitted herself after feeling unsafe. Now after a 3 day crisis admission she needs to begin her long term treatment wellness plan. Treatments plans for BPD need to be long term (2 years minimum) and typically involve some combination of therapy, medication, and social support. Therapy may include dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and schema therapy. Medications that may be useful include mood stabilizers, antidepressants, or antipsychotics. Often, treatment plans need to be adjusted based on trial and error.

I have never asked for anything for myself, but I am going to ask for your help for my girl. This is her GoFundMe  “Nishas Wellness Journey” account. This is not a living expenses account for her, monies collected will only be used to treat her condition and my Mum - Sue Ross will be the trustee of this account. With the funds we are hoping to get Nisha covered by private health, so she can have access to many forms of treatment. In addition to the above mentioned therapies we will be engaging with a naturopath, to have acupuncture to help her anxiety and other recommended treatments. If enough donations are made, Nisha will engage in a weekly community fitness program. Some of the above mentioned therapies are $12,000- such as cognitive behaviour therapy. Private health will enable her to access these, and whilst there may be a wait, they will be without that huge charge. 

Whilst BPD isn’t curable, it is treatable. It must be treated like a cancer, and tackled at every possible angle in every possible way.  We need to be vigilant and act quickly whilst Nisha is committed to her recovery. Treatment can be so successful that a person will not test typically for BPD and can have the potential to live a happy, healthy, fulfilled life. If you believe in Nisha and want to sponsor her to recovery you can either set up direct debit and contribute small weekly payments of as little as $2 per week, or make a one off donation. I will set up a private page updating all those who are invested in Nishas progress and wellness. The time is now! I CANNOT lose my girl. Our family cannot lose our girl... The fabric I’m made from will be forever ripped and irreparable. We cannot continue to be strong and do this on our own, mentally, emotionally or financially - it isn’t enough. We need the professionals. We have been through enough as a family. Please please help if you can. 

GoFundMe takes 5% of your donation, but is fine if it’s your preferred method of payment- especially if you claim your donations on tax and need a receipt. For those wanting 100% of money to go to Nisha please pay into this account.

Thank you to everyone, including those who cannot afford to donate for all the love we are receiving. 
With your continued support, slowly we can show Nisha that she is so loved and that the world needs her to stay. Not only is she worthy of our love and support, but our belief in her ability to recover and live her best life- being the best version of herself...
