Hi there. Anxiety and sadness are essential emotions which everyone experiences. But in a few, they are persistent causing significant disruption in social/occupational settings.
If you feel the above statement reflects your current situation , it's always good to get help.
As far as financial aspects go, I'm sure it wouldn't cost a lot for a consult although there are capable practitioners in government institutes who will consult for free which will benefit you.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist/psychologist. Its always a wise idea to seek help in times of distress.
Health Tips
Do not delay the consult & suffer in silence. You never know the outcome of an event before trying them. Have an open mind
