I'm a 26 year old guy that decided to change career about a year and a half ago, after deciding that I wasn't happy with my career/job (mechanical engineer) I took the decision to join an online full time software development program that lasts between 6 to 12 months (that doesn't include job search) depending on you and your partner phase (you work with a partner), they don't charge you for the program until you get a job and you pay a percentage of your salary, that's a good thing, anyways, joining a full time program means that you have no time to work ergo no source of income for the next 6 to 14 months (assuming that you land a job within 2 months after finishing the program), right now I just have about 300 hours left to finish the program(is not that bad).



Anyways, I noticed that my mood have changed a lot in the past months, I started to have problems to sleep (I sleep between 1 hour to 4 hours waking up every hour) and I couldn't focus anymore on my documentation readings, etc. I've had some anxiety problems and probably depression since I have memory, I never went to therapy or something because I can pretend that everything is OK and nobody notice when I'm feeling bad.



So 2 weeks ago I decided that I was going to make an appointment with a psychologist (it's really hard to take that first step, if you're going trough something similar, believe that it's much easier once you get to your appointment), and my first appointment was on 01/19/20 and I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression (not a dangerous depression, although I think about suicide from time to time, she doesn't know that yet).



Now I have an appointment every Saturday morning but I as mentioned before I have no source of income so I'm struggling to pay for that and I feel like it's really helping me so I don't want to stop seeing her.



It's not super urgent to have all the money that I'm asking for, as I said it's a weekly appointment so $100 - $200 dollars a week will help me a lot.



I know there are a lot of fundraisers more important than mine and mine may sound egoist or something, but I will appreciate if you can support me on this one, I promise I will pay back to society when I land my first job.



I apologize if my grammar/redaction are not super good, English is not my first language.




Best regards!
