Brain Repair Bills for Kara

I hate that I am writing this, but we live in a capitalist dystopia where medical bills can bankrupt people. I need help, and I'm being encouraged to ask for it. 

Most people know I have major depressive disorder. I survived a suicide attempt in 2014, and since then, I have fought to stay away from that dark place. 

Recently, it has become too much for me to manage on my own. My doctors agree that the best past forward is hospitalization. I was admitted on Tuesday, March 3rd, and I will likely have to stay here for one week inpatient, followed by two weeks of daily outpatient care. At this point, I don't have much choice.

This money will not cover my hospital bills-I have no idea how much it will cost, but I'll figure that out when I get out. Right now, my biggest concern is that I am completely broke, I have no paid leave, and I have no way to earn money while hospitalized. 

The $1200 will cover my bills through March, so I can focus on my treatment without worrying about losing my apartment. I  hope by April, my brain will be working better and I will be working again. 

I hate to dramatize it, but I know depression can be deadly. I have lost family and friends to suicide, and I don't want it to happen to me. For the past couple of months, I have struggled to do the bare minimum of feeding myself and getting out of bed. It's embarrassing to admit how bad it has gotten, but I need help, and now I am getting it. I know my friends and family don't have a ton of money to give away, but anything helps.
