A relationship won't fix you. If anything, your anxiety will perpetually sabotage any future endeavours. You need to get better for yourself and just tough it out, even on the days you think you can't. Along this route, you may find somebody that understands and accepts it, so keep an open mind, but don't get derailed by your emotions.

Therapy is a good idea. It'll help you peel off the layers like an onion and deal with the causes directly, rather than the symptoms. I went for 18~ months and it helped immensely. My advice for going that route is to be selective. Know the type of person you're most comfortable around (male/female, age, etc.) so that you're more likely to open up.

I've said this to others here because it's very true and will always help if you commit: start a basic workout routine. It'll help stabilize you in a number of ways, make you feel healthier, and boost your confidence as you get results. It sounds hokey, but try it optimistically.

I'm thinking of going to a church for my therapy needs because therapy in the past has been fruitless. I will start that when i move, i just hope i can tough it out for another month here. You mentioned being derailed by emotions, how can i learn to control my emotions so i can get things done more efficiently? I feel like a man/woman hybrid because women are supposed to be emotional and men are supposed to get shit done but i'm like both.
