There are a lot of free or low cost clinics around - if there's one in your local area you might get some medical advice or referrals there?

The 14608 clinics in this database offer medical services (some may also offer dental services) and are free, low-cost, low-cost with a sliding scale based on income, or offer some type of financial assistance. If you're under or uninsured, and looking for a nearby free clinic, sliding scale clinic, or low-cost clinic, where you and/or your family can go for lost cost medical care....Please note that the clinics listed are not necessarily free.

I would encourage you to seek help from Social Services.
If you're struggling financially there are medical services offered for free.
I don't think depression and anxiety are conditions you struggle to get through. Getting sober will certainly help, but you may need some assistance from a Doctor.

Look up 'Mood gym' online. A self-help CBT based program. If you do it with raw honesty, it can make a difference. Also SMART...for coping on the ground stuff and very good online resources. The internet has more resources than I have blood cells. Depression and anxiety forums..govt. sponsored programs...do a bit of research. Support to you.
I hope you can find some help with your needs.
