Please help me access urgent, life saving mental health treatment.

It's fair to say I've has been fighting to stay afloat for well over a decade.

Behind the scenes, I have experienced significant mental traumas, personal loss & serious health challenges, including chronic illness & ongoing chronic pain. I've known I have been losing the battle for a while now, but recently, things reached a breaking point.

In March I made a serious suicide attempt. I was referred to the local MHS & I have sought urgent help through the public health system, my GP, and ACC. Whilst I have has done everything possible, I am not able to access the immediate, specialised care I urgently need.

My GP has declared me fully unfit for work & MHS have confirmed I require intensive psychological long term trauma therapy, specifically DBT.

With the help of a few friends we've explored all viable options in NZ including residential programs which can offer me the intensive respite that I need, but these involve long wait times & extended stays that are not feasible. But we have identified a program at The Dawn Rehab in Thailand offering structured, trauma informed care.

The total cost of the program is $40k & air fares are $2211, I have secured $20k through a loan, but I need help to cover the rest.

I'm asking my friends & people that care about me to help me get the respite care I really need to help set me on the path to recovery. If you can donate or share, you would be helping give me a real chance at recovery.
