I think I gotta ask this question; do you still wanna code?  And you're probably not in the right state of mind to even answer that question right now but...  I know what you're feeling right now Jnuel, I'm a coder myself and I'm lucky enough to be in a good company doing very interesting and new stuff (iphone, android, blackberry development), but every now and then I think about the future and I'm personally not sure if this job will last 10 years down the line.  And what will I do 10 years?  So every now and then I get anxiety attacks too.  As far as jobs go why don't you take another vertical?  Try a teaching job.  High school, college, maybe even university (Not sure how long you've been coding to teach at college or university).  You'll still be coding, but you'll be doing it in a teaching environment with a consistent job.  Plus you get different interactions.  Though on the other hand do you wanna code?  Or maybe go on a completely different route, my sister was in forestry, lost her job, couldn't find a job in her field, now she's learning how to be a massage therapist.  Though I don't know your situation and if you can even go back to school, but stay strong Jnuel.
