Doing a bit of volunteer work one day a week can help you build some confidence to get back into the workforce. Less pressure, and it gets you out meeting people, who are just glad you are there and you don't have to live up to big expectations (less anxiety)

You can also try a temp agency of sorts, just start working part time and move up through different positions as you feel better. Not sure what the economy is in your area, though.

Walking is a good way to burn off anxiety, gives you some energy, and exercise releases a natural phermone that can help you sleep as well. If it's yucky out, even walking in the mall can help.
