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.

Please get help! It’s available and can be life changing.
I’m sorry you’re hurting so much. Be gentle to yourself tonight. There are people who care, including strangers online. you are loved and you matter

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, 🦌✌🏼

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.
