How is someone with anxiety and depression supposed to do all of this?

I got lucky. I called my primary out of desperation, after hopelessly trying to sift through which places take what insurance and if those places are even any good. He referred me to a psychiatrist (who I got to see after only a few weeks delay and several follow up calls), who pointed me at a referral service for intensive outpatient. That initial psych I didn't like but everyone since has been great. (Previous attempts at self-help have landed me with pill mills and hacks.) It's just that a year later, I'm still deep in the shit, have been denied disability twice (they never even talked to me), and eventually the mortgage company is going to stop playing nice... and I'll end up with nothing.

As the saying goes, I'm in this post and I don't like it.
