You need real treatment, that will help you permanently improve your anxiety.
That means counseling several times a week, with the right counselor, and also a support group. Drugs can be used in addition to therapy, if you want them, but they cannot substitute for it.
Don't make any major life decisions until you have been in therapy for two years. Your goals, and the possibilities open to you in life, are going to change radically.
I know, but it seems like it's going down that slippery slope to me. Cuts to education, cuts to military, cuts to job training and financial aid, cut, cut, cut, cut. I don't see that getting any better.
So your solution was to go out on a financial limb, and get a degree in .....
ENGLISH?! What kind of job do you expect to get with that?

To the OP English might not be the best degree to get in a tight job market but any degree is good t oget your foot in the door and expand your thinking.
If you have an anxiety problem everyday you should try and do something just out of your comfort zone and soon you may find yourself up to speed with the rest of us.
As for dating you are 36 and should be considering women in the 32-42+ range. Have you tried online dating? I used to do that years ago and it was fun. I also had some fears and didn't have "game" like most guys have plus did Ireally want to settle down with a woman that would fall for the "game"?
With online dating you just might find the right woman but keep your ideals realistic. There are not too many 20 something bikini models that want to date a 36 year old english major. If you don't want an instant family then don't look at women who are divorced with kids. etc.. etc.. Be honest and Be yourself. Remember that looks fade and what is more important for a lifetime of happiness is the personality.
good luck
