Need Guidance - HS Dropout - How to fix my Education

Hello All,

I need some help on the educational front very desperately. Apologies for the long post. I have very severely neglected my education from an early age. I moved from Europe to Canada at an early age (around 6th/7th Grade) and I suppose not speaking English well, coupled with being raised by an extremely stressed and overwhelmed single mom got me on the wrong tracks of life.

I dropped out of High School around 9th Grade in Canada (now living in Illinois, USA) and began working instead. Fortunately or Unfortunately I landed a decent job and never went back to school.

As the years passed it became harder and harder to justify and increasingly became a great source of depression, anxiety and a feeling of being “lesser”.

I am 35 years old (nearly 36), living in Illinois and don’t have any education. I am employed and stable with a salary of $57,000 but feel like advancing my career prospects, income, job prospects is very difficult. Thinking about interviewing or even updating my resume makes me break out it nervous sweats.

How can I fix this? I want a College Degree desperately but have no idea how or where to begin. GED? High School?

Any help, tips, advice, pointing in the right direction is appreciated.
