From the Khaleej Times article, these were listed as free:

800-SAKINA (800-725462) — Free, 24/7, confidential psychological first aid. This is the one I’d prioritize, especially since it’s an Abu Dhabi Department of Health service.

Medico Arabia — Free, 24/7 trauma-informed support by phone/WhatsApp.

Valeo Health + Nafsi — Free 60-minute online session with a licensed psychologist/psychiatrist, according to the article.

American Hospital Dubai — Free mental-health hotline/support mentioned in the article.

HRIC Dubai — Free short regulation/support sessions.

Sage Clinics — Free online psychological support groups.

Aster DM Healthcare — Free online consultations, but this was a limited-time offer, so I wouldn't count on it being free now.

Hey, I’m really sorry you’re hurting this much. I may not fully understand what you’re going through, but I’m not going to judge you or tell you to simply “stay strong.” You don’t have to figure everything out tonight.

Please, just focus on getting through this moment. You don’t have to make any permanent decisions while you’re in this much pain. If you can, stay around someone you trust and don’t be alone right now. Put some distance between yourself and anything you could use to hurt yourself.

Please tell someone you trust exactly how serious this feels, even if it’s difficult to say out loud. You deserve help with this, and you deserve to have someone sit with you through the worst of it.

There are many free helplines! Suggest looking into it. Use AI with caution.

Along with the psychiatric help, don’t spend too much time alone! Find ASAP at least one hobby, sport, volunteer activity, go to the mosque or church. At least one of these even if you don’t feel to! By experience. We pray for you ❤️ please stay strong.

Do you have friends you can talk to? Professional help is great but you also need support outside of that. A session once a week is very limited.

ofc big bro sleepy ghost, the psychiatrist will listen to you and give you medicine to temporarily t reduce your emotional perception, while figuring out with you what's going on. All the thing with insurance may cost you 1500aed over months, maybe you pay like 180-250aed for first session+perception. Wherever you are, look if you can visit DHCC the germans GNC clinic, 🦌✌🏼
