As my title indicates, I seem to be having a problem.

Some background on myself. 25 (next week at least), working a decent job but find myself without medical benefits.

As I'm not in that wonderful 18-23 age bracket anymore, I find that I am having trouble finding a clinic that works on a sliding scale basis. I don't have a lot of money, but I realize that my mental health is something that is needed for me to continue being a productive part of society as a whole.

My conditions: Depression and Anxiety. The most troubling currently is the anxiety, as the rate of attacks and actual attacks themselves have become worse over the last month.

I've dealt with the depression without meds for a very long time now (5 years or so) and anxiety at the same time. I had requested that my doctor remove me from the medications, as I was very unhappy with the mood swings that I had picked up and the apathy that had begun to plauge my thoughts and actions. I had begun to care for nothing and that was a scary place for me.

What I am seeking is a list or a resource where I can find clinics that may be able to help me with either only my anxiety problem or the problem with depression as well. I understand that seeking counciling is going to help a great amount, but I currently cannot afford that, but want to have some help with what is currently going on in my body.

I'm in the greater Seattle area, so any listings in that area would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
