On the outside, I look like a normal happy guy. But, on the inside, I’m fighting with anxiety, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress from the riots.

Having all those people, both media and the protesters, descend on my neighborhood was brutal. I was already a pretty anxious guy...but, the stress of just walking out the door on a daily basis is something that no one should have to go through.

Cameras were always in my face. I had to always worry about the police in the streets...were they going to crack today? And...then, we were just angry. Angry at the injustice of it all and I felt like me and everyone else weren’t getting heard. Then, many nights, the protests just got crazy...fires starting everywhere, people stealing, just chaos.  

I woke up on Monday morning to smoke in my house and just barely got me and my grandma out of there in one piece.

I just need help with my nerves. Therapy to calm me down and not have me so jittery. I don’t have medical insurance and they want like $70 an hour to just help me. 

Then I would like to get a good job and move my grandma and myself out of this neighborhood. I don't want to live like this.If you could help me with all this, that would be so great.

Help me if you can.
