I agree--you are young, and because you are doing something about your depression, social phobia, etc., you have lots of time to work toward being ready for a relationship. Take one step at a time, in terms of learning to enjoy yourself and make friends and find out what you like in life. The pressure of feeling like you HAVE to be in a relationship would only add to the anxiety, I think. Instead, take one day at a time, and set small achievable goals regarding how you feel about yourself, and developing more social confidence. BTW, moving to a new city is hard--be kind to yourself about the adjustment process.
