I don't know where else to post this, but a lot of people on here have been great for help and advice. Let me start off by saying I'm only 18 years old. Ever since I was 16 I've had a black cloud above me stopping me from progressing. I finished school with GCSE's that aren't up to par - D's in English and maths. Everything else I've achieved a C or higher. But most of the good jobs & apprenticeships require you to have at-least C's in English and especially maths to qualify for a position. So money has been an issue, and I've just been working online making about 7k/yr max. I don't want to work in a dead end job for the rest of my life.
I was happy for most of last year, I went to the gym constantly with a good friend from school he's roughly 5"5, and I'm 6"3. He's roughly half the size of me, so when it comes to the gym it's almost impossible for us to lift the same weights etc. We haven't been hitting the gym as often and we have hardly been for the last 8-10 months. I went from 180lbs to 210lbs. Not ripped, but slightly toned. With a less slender, more "bulky" look. That gave me a boost in confidence. I've lost most of the muscle I put on now. He had a great outlook on life, boosted my confidence ALOT. But he's in a relationship now, and we haven't spoke since. He was the 1 truly good friend I could rely on just for a few hours each day to get out and enjoy life. Even if it was at the gym for an hour or two each day. I haven't seen most of the friends I had in school since we graduated. They haven't bothered to contact me at all. I have to wait until September before I can go back to college to re-take my GCSE's. Then once I finish my GCSE's I have no idea what I want to do.
I keep putting myself down, and I get into a state of mental depression. Thinking I should just end it all.. I get anxiety also, I've never been in a relationship. I've never got close with a girl. That makes me feel even more worthless. I had an amazing childhood upto this point, out most days in town causing trouble with groups of friends. Riding our BMX's for miles and miles each day and coming back late. I loved life, and I didn't know how great it was, now everything is different. I don't know where I'm headed, but at the moment to make money I've reverted to growing weed to get by. I have no idea what else I should do, it's my only option at the moment. I never knew the world could be this cruel. I've came to the realization that life isn't all fun and games at some point you grow up and everything changes and it's never the same.
I just want to know if someone else has been in the same situation as me and can relate, and if they ever managed to get out of this cycle. Because I feel like I'm turning psychotic and I can't deal with this anymore.
