If it's possible for you to get into some one on one therapy, do that. It worked out pretty ok for me. In the province I live in there's a certain number of times you can meet with someone for free and a certain amount of steps they put you through before they send you on your way. With anxiety, group therapy is just awful. I hate group therapy. Growing up that's what my parents seemed to think was best, but honestly it only made me more of an anxious and shelled in person. Depression is something everyone's going to struggle with at some point but if you're like me and you won the shitty brain lottery you'll probably be popping pills and paying people to whine at them forever. As for pills, you might go through a LOT of different pills and combinations of pills before you find some that work for you. It took me literal years to find the winning set. I'm sorry if that sounds discouraging but eventually your doctor and you will find what works. Different things work for different people.
If you can't see a therapist try looking into cognitive behavioural therapy online. I want to say there's some free options out there. Don't make the mistake of googling the abbreviation though. The TLDR of cognitive behavioural therapy is 'think positively and positive changes will happen in your life'. THAT might sound silly but it's really not so bad and the actual programs for it are pretty ok.
