My name is Charles Hendrickson and I'm trying to raise money to pay for psychiatric help. I've got PTSD from witnessing my best friend shoot himself in the head before I could get to him to stop it, as well as the time I spent incarcerated. I was in there because of theft. Prison time changed me dramatically. I was convicted in 2011 and released in February of 2014. I just hit my 10 year mark since I was released. I definitely was reformed. I've never committed another crime since, and most certainly never will again. It's been almost 15 years since I committed the crime. During my time in there, I went through some of the most disturbing and traumatic things you could imagine. I won't go into detail about that. But for the last 10 years, I've not been able to sleep much. I awake from nightmares sweating 3 to 4 days a week. Panic attacks come fairly often which affects my work in construction. If I'm watching tv, I'll hear a word every now and then which reminds me of what I went through. I have a hard time in public. I always try to keep my back to the wall, because I was attacked from behind a lot in there. My only proof to you that I will never break the law again, I would never steal money to pay for this. Which is why I'm here. It's been 10 years of fear and anxiety and I just can't take it anymore. I need help. I've put it off for 10 years because I can't afford psychiatric help. But now I'm desperate to see someone about this. At most, I get 4 hours of sleep every night and it has worn me down. I just can't afford help. I live alone and I have no one to share this with to gain awareness
