Overcoming my mental health break

Donation protected
Hello all you beautiful humans. I am reaching out in terms of fundraising to hopefully tackle a few medical bills I've acquired along my long battle of mental illness. In 2015, I was diagnosed with general and separation anxiety and depression. I took all of the proper steps to find help. Eventually, I found the perfect medication combo and finally felt like myself. However, I didn't stay on that track. I ended up stopping my medication. I went through the years, having a few moments here and there, but I felt "normal" for the most part. But.. 2021 had other plans for my mental health. In September of 2021, I had a mental break. I had my first severe panic attack, which landed me in the hospital. My health insurance didn't cover a penny of it. I started leaving work or missing work entirely due to panic attacks. When I say panic attacks... I mean extreme panic attacks. My body would shake uncontrollably, my fingers and feet would go numb and turn blue, I would hyperventilate to the point I'd lose my vision. I ended up in the hospital one more time. This time, I was able to meet with the Crisis Intervention Team. They were A TON of help. They got me in with a local psychiatrist, put me back on medication, and even ensured I had the support system I needed at home. At this point, I had lost my job. So I no longer had health insurance. Long story short, I am drowning in medical debt. I am finally at a turning point with my mental health. I can finally see the light. However, the closer I get... the dimmer the light is. I'm afraid the stress of my medical bills will spiral me back to those chaotic episodes. So I am reaching out for help.
