What do you do when you can't afford therapy?

I live in a third world country with limited mental health care, and it is generally considered a foreign concept here. The cheapest options I could find online cost like 40 usd per session which may not seem like much if you earn in dollars but it's an obscene amount in itself, nevermind as a long-term thing.

We don't have medicare or pro bono offers or insurance that covers mental health or anything like that.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

I do my best with psychology resources I can find on my own online, I've been reading up on things like CBT and ACT for things like depression, anxiety, OCD and ADHD and perfectionism and the sort for the past two years or so. I have depression kind of under control at this point but everything else still feels like too much for me to handle on my own. Every resource I read feels like it has a severe lack of personalization and misses the mark. I'm drained by decision fatigue and I don't think it's very effective for a layman with complex chronic illness and trauma to be trying to be their own therapist.
