How do I stop my chronic anxiety from ruining my life any further?

Hello, I've been living with constant anxiety for like six years. Im 18 years old now and going to turn 19 in May. My anxiety has kept me from enjoying social things in life like hanging out with friends, talking to people, taking the bus, going to the docters or dentists becomes a nightmare for me. Hell, it even kept me from getting a girlfriend. I really need help and I tried ordering the program from the Midwest Center for anxiety and deppresion but I needed a credit card number ready for them. Well I cant do that because my parents stopped all the credit cards since my retard of a dad spent alot unwisely using credit card. Now we had trouble paying the bills. Then we lost our house to forclosure and had to live in a smaller more unpleasent house. I sometimes feel that it is my fault because my anxiety kept me from getting a job so now im broke as hell and I tried looking up cognitive therapy but they pay 100 dollers an hour so Im feeling really worried right now. I dont ant to use meds becuase I want to join the army and I heard that you have to be off meds for at least one year. I dont want to wait a year just to join the army, my dream is to serve in the army and I want to do it right after I finish highschool. I only have 3 months untill I graduate so I feel like time is running out, PLEASE HELP.

2. There are pirate copies of The Linden Method on the web. You download them as a torrent file. It may help you. Just google something like "free linden method" The MWC program is awesome if you do get a chance to do it. It helped my friend with here severe agoraphobia and panic attacks.
