Unemployment is no joke anon. No one helps you either. Either consult a therapist, CBT therapy or join some inner experience meditation. Find some hobby you look up to, something that is personal and you can grow over time (not gaming etc.), or where it’s shared hobby with other people and you meet them.
Anxiety sucks and can pull the joy out of life.

You sound like you're pretty sure in yourself about this plan so you should probably go for it. But do plan for the absolute worst case scenario just in case. You can save yourself from getting horribly ruined, because it can happen when you're recklessly confident sometimes and bad luck finally catches up to you.

Yeah it would be an extremely retarded idea to quit your job before you find a new one. Unless you have over 50k saved up in your savings I wouldn't even consider it. Like the other anon said try to find avenues to midigate your anxiety problem if that's the main issue your facing and not your job itself. If you want to switch jobs your best bet is reaching out to any friends or friend-of-a-friend in a chain of commands that can land you a job in the same field for 10x less stress but only 20% less pay

Yeah the anxiety thing has been the worst thing that's ever happened to me. It actually almost cost me this job 2 years ago when I first got it. Things have gotten a little better since then. The entire time I've been working I used to do volleyball with friends at least once a week, but I never really developed any close friendships with that. Partially why I want to get out of dallas is to do more of the hobbies I care about. I'm big into outdoor activities like hunting.

The worst case scenario that i can think of is that I cant get a remote job (med-high probability) and I'm unable to work any in person job due to anxiety (low probability). I think once i leave here I'll improve mentally in a lot of ways so getting another in person job should be fine. Thing is if I have to move to another big city for another in person job then I really don't think my situation would have improved. I know that deep down the best course of action is to stick it out here until I find a remote job but this place is killing me.

I do have a lot saved up and thankfully family that would help me through this. In-fact they like the idea more then I do and would love if I moved back in with them lol. But, I'm in the same boat of not liking the idea of leaving a job before having another lined up. I know I could get by with whatever saving I have but I just don't want to end up in another city doing the same thing.

We have moved past the close community phase, your tribe would take care of you, or you would be working with tribe family. We’ve been so isolated that our biological function is spazzing.
It seems you’ve answered it yourself, you want close personal contacts and are looking to do an activity. In times of war and depression people would sing songs, dance, and keep each others mind off of the hard reality. You need to do the same.
Keep your job anon.
I will suggest you spend time, even if a little, towards your activity. Find groups exclusively who do that activity and limit it to them. Like find a group that does exclusively volleyball, or a group that does exclusively hunting or any other group. Don’t try to mix those groups unless most of them want to try another thing and keep your interactions within the groups. These will get you over the week. Take holidays if possible to extend your weekend.
For anxiety, I’ve found mindfulness meditation to help. Whenever I panic, I go within and tell myself that I’m safe, I’m safe, I’m completely safe.
I’ve found CBT Therapy to be the next best thing. Don’t go directly into it, look up resources or some Alcoholics Anonymous equivalent for it.
You’re looking for a heart to heart buddy. But heart to heart people are found over a long period of time, after sieving through all the people who stick with you over time. But you’ll get there.
Also, eat well, sleep well, take slightly cold showers, and work out during the weekdays. You’ll be fine anon, we all have to be our own Godfathers.

Also anon, get your vitamins, blood sugar, thyroid and other minerals checked
Check for any leakage in house
These affect the soul too
