I didn't read the whole thread. Please forgive me if this has already been covered....

Some of the symptons mentioned in the OP do not sound like anxiety-related stuff. Much of it sounds more like clinical depression-type stuff. Have you seen multiple psychiatrists over your lifetime to get a proper diagnosis and/or treatment?

I was thinking about that earlier. The last time I saw a doctor about this stuff was 2 or 3 years ago. I should probably see one soon.

Yeah.  Just make sure you approach all mental health treatment with the healthy dose of skepticism that it deserves.  There certainly is help available.  But, much of it is just 'try this drug, try that drug", in hopes of finding something that kind of works without causing too many other problems along the way.  

With that said, if you're not seeing a therapist, it's probably a good idea to do so, provided that you can afford one. There's no real risk of Side Effects by sitting in an office and talking to someone. So there's really only upside to that route.
