For me, I write about my negative thoughts from time to time. It helps them get out of my head and elsewhere. Sometimes I read them again and think, "Gosh after the event that I was so worried and anxious about, nothing came of it. My fears never materialized."
We have a blog section, feel free to write in it, it's not scoured by google by default, though you can set it that way. It's a little more intimate community than the rest of the sections here.
re: therapy here in New York. I assume you are in NYC. If you are then there are many therapists here that accept sliding scale payments. You can check with NIP Graduate and Post-Graduate Training Program - Home and let them know you are interested in finding therapy with someone that accepts sliding scale.
As far as something you can do immediately, try contrary thinking. This entails you doing the opposite of what you want to or normally do. So if you want to do something for others at the expense of something for yourself, change that by doing something for yourself FIRST, then doing something for someone else.
good luck.
