Pickings are slim already. Almost every attractive woman my age is married or in a serious relationship. And there are far fewer opportunities to meet women in the first place.

All the more reason for you to come with your A game - which won't happen until you address and overcome your anxiety and depression issues.

Far fewer opportunities than what? When? Find out where people your age hang out in your town, and join them. Every city or small town has at least one place where people that age congregate; the cool pizza parlor or coffee shop or bakery, the bar w/open mic, whatever. And broaden your definition of "attractive". That'll help.
Post a pic and I'll give you an honest assessment of your chances. Otherwise none of us can make sweeping generalisations.

Actually, you know what would be more helpful? A video. The way someone talks, the way they carry themselves, their voice, their vernacular, their demeanor - all of these things have a huge influence on what a person looks like. The OP could be a good looking guy but still come off totally creepy or weird when he opens his mouth to talk or walks in the door. I'm not saying this is the case - but we wouldn't be able to tell that just from a picture.
That is a great point. We can much better assess someone when we have the whole picture so to speak. But you know even then there is no accounting for individual taste. What I may think is highly attractive you may think "meh".
Why would a pic matter when women care more about personality?
Because your personality is whiny and depressive. You need your looks to give you a leg-up. Without that, you're toast. You may be toast anyway, but at least with decent looks you'd be able to get some first dates.
