Great comments!
To reiterate a few...
I take it that financial stress is one of the burdens in your life. This no doubt contributes to your anxiety and depression. I say try to address this as best you can immediately. Disability has been mentioned. In my own case, I was on a provincial government disability income assistance for five years. It wasn't a lot but I managed to eke out a living. I knew my rent and bills were paid and I had enough for food. This took off a great deal of my anxiety.
It has been mentioned that you take this one step at a time and I agree. Set out for yourself a plan of action with attainable goals to get things in order. These must be realistic - and measurable too. Your mental healthcare provider(s) can help you with these. Your local mental health association may be able to help you too. My own has a 12 week program designed (mostly mood disorders) to get on track, make a plan, rehabilitate, and take control of participants' lives. A support group may be helpful in staying on track with your plan also.
