Forget more school. It's a stalling tactic.
Some things might make you happy. Travel might, business might, girls might, friends might. None of those have potential to happen while you're at home.
For a simple change, go into the nearest big city 3 times a week and just do what you're currently doing at home, from a nice coffee shop. Make smalltalk with whoever's around, if you feel like it.
Beyond that, I'd say drop your teams and pick a project you believe in and which is small enough to finish working only part time, within a month. The sort of project you'll excitedly check your email for, because you can't wait to talk to the people who are enjoying it. Working on something small & fully under your control is invigorating.
If money is an issue, Tim Ferriss' thing of starting from a blank sheet and adding in the monthly expenses of your ideal life's costs (instead of starting from your current default situation) makes for much more tractable budgeting, the results of which can be pretty surprising. You'll need to work a bit, but sometimes you can get by with much less than you suspect.
I guess, in a sentence, don't stress too much, just make yourself get out and around people more, even if you aren't interacting with them.
