Lydia's Treatment

I don't ask for help often, but it's gotten to the point where I have to.

I have had depression and anxiety since I was a late teen, and it's grown to the point where my drive to fight is almost at a stop. I know I need help, but sadly with my hours cut at my part time job (I also have a full time job), I can't even make ends meet.

It's affecting my performance at work and I don't want to do the activities I used to love doing. I don't even want to talk to people much anymore. I'm also getting anxiety attacks 2-5 times a week and force myself to work through them.

Each hour long session with my psychiatrist at Kaiser is $60 up front, billed the rest (unknown amount) at the end of the month. A Wise Mind class, also held at Kaiser, is $45 each class I attend (weekly) up front, no other charges. That totals out to at least $420.00 a month, on top of bills and rent I need to pay.

It's no longer about cutting costs for me, I have cut out everything I don't need, and even some that I do (food for the most part). My boyfriend is doing what he can, but it isn't much at all, as he has his own financial problems to handle. My mom can only help so much as well and it's mostly emotional. I don't have anyone else to help me.

I'm searching for another part time/morning job to replace my current one, and getting all the hours I can at my full time job, so I am trying my hardest on my own, but I really need help.

I would love to return to school and try again, but with everything piling up, it's looking like a no go.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and any help, whether a share or donation, will have my greatest appriciation.
