I found myself in a similar situation. It eventually got so bad I dropped out of school after completing year 11 (which I just managed to pass, no thanks to my poor attendance records). I'm now a tradie, and a friend and I have recently launched our own business to great success. I love learning, and believe me, teaching yourself is no where near as easy as you'd think. For starters, the material isn't readily available to the public, and getting it might see you jumping through a few hoops. Then there's the matter of interpreting it... there's nothing like a well educated person explaining it to you. Something you don't get when you self-teach. Anyway, the best thing to do, from my experience, is to force yourself into situation's that'll make you sweat; keep doing it and you'll find the anxiety no longer exists to the extent it once did. It's hard, I know, but it's the only way I've found that allowed me any progress with my own people anxiety :<
