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.
Thank you. It is financial stress and career-related (right now). I do have a therapist who helps me with these things. She's very good at problem solving. But then of course it's in between sessions when I have the most trouble. I haven't seen her in a week. I don't have time for anything else. I'm looking for work and moving. It's overwhelming. Ugh.
