I need to "run away" from my life for a bit. I'm a 19 year old high school drop out who's addicted to video games, porn, and drugs (alcohol and weed). My parents don't push me to do anything and never have and I have no idea how to be independent. I think the best way for me to learn is to throw myself into a situation where I'm forced to survive on my own with basically nothing. I can't keep living this life of mediocre comfort and pleasure anymore because I'm only wasting my time and my life. I feel like if I stay where I'm at, I will have nothing to live for and I will have no desire to live. Everyday I wake up depressed and want to kill myself. It never goes away. I cope with my bad habits and addictions but they only fuel the problem. I'm stuck in a vicious cycle and I need to leave. Honestly the only thing that has kept me here is my dog because he's the only thing in the world I truly care about and we have an amazing bond. It would hurt me to leave him and hurt him as well, but I don't think I have a choice anymore. It won't do him any good if I end up killing myself or become homeless. So what do I do? I'm done feeling trapped here. I have $25 on me right now that I was supposed to use to go to a shooting range tomorrow with a friend, but I need to leave ASAP and the more money I have the better. What do Sup Forums?

Join a cruise line, live rent free in a shitty metal room and leave in 6 months with 10-20k.
Join the military.
Spend $25 on a greyhound to the next city, walk into dive-y looking restaurants and ask if they need dishwashers or linecooks.
Learn to program, or lie about knowing how to program, get hired by a tech company. They're desperate for talent. If you're not dumb you can pick it up on the job.
Suck it up?
Set daily goals to improve yourself. Just little things. They will not take to long to become habit if you do them regularly.
Slowly set larger goals until you are in a better place.
just start walking and then eventually get noticed by the media and ask for donations then keep walking and get more attention and then snowball and just keep walking.
Programming turned my life around, and i sit in my chair all day.
I was thinking about bussing it out of this shithole. I live in LA btw. Job market is saturated as all fuck by "more qualified" people and "muh diversity" immigrants. Anyways, idk where I'd go but the "dive-y" restaurant idea is decent. Thanks user will think about it.
I am really bad at setting goals and sticking to them. I haven't accomplished anything in my life ever tbh. Plus I feel like I don't have the time to wait to get better at goal setting. That's why I feel like I need to be thrown into the shit because the longer I'm here, the easier it is to succumb to my demons.
Kek that's probably not even far from accurate. If I don't get noticed at least my legs will get stronk AF.
How did it change your life user? How did you learn and how did you start making money off your skills?
try it and if you do chuck us an update when something happens
Honestly, move abroad or at least across the country. You will have to find a job quickly and you will be on your feet in a few months. Buying simple shit makes you feel accomplished when you have earned it and not had it bought for you.
stop drinking and smoking, that stupid ass weed has you sounding like a whiny bitch. blame yourself

>if you called your Dad he could stop it all
Well, Stan, the truth is marijuana probably isn't gonna make you kill people, and it most likely isn't gonna fund terrorism, but, well son, pot makes you feel fine with being bored, and it's when you're bored that you should be learning some new skill or discovering some new science or being creative. If you smoke pot you may grow up to find out that you aren't good at anything.
I was in the same situation as a britanon until I decided fuck it one night and applied for a Canadian visa.
I realised that no one in Canada knows shit about the school system I grew up with so I can lie a bit and they won't be bothered to check it. None of my grades matter here and neither does my second rate University. Also easy to add loads of fake extracurriculars/achievements from your home country which everyone will just accept.
Interesting...
Anything you do spur of the moment is going to backfire, no matter how urgent it feels.
Number one, get a job and commit to it for at least a few weeks. Fast food, Goodwill and warehouses are always hiring.
Two, get away from your vices. Don't do it all at once cause you will backslide. But try giving up ONE THING for a bit and then see how you feel.
Three, change your attitude. Making personal changes is hard as fuck, and guaranteed you will regress. Making those changes will most likely not make you any happier, at least in the short term. Don't make happiness your goal. Make doing things your goal, and then maybe that will lead to some happiness on the side.
Just join the military faggot.
I applied for a 2 year visa and moved into management really fast here because I lied about experience and then just made it work on the job. Now after a promotion my company are offering to sponsor my Visa to stay here.
I am probably going to go home though and change my resume to be more truthful but to also include/emphasise my experience in Canada to get a better job than I ever could have before.
Bruh, take some community college classes in engineering, or get a shitty job. You dont need to run away. Hopefully five years from now you can reflect and appreciate some hard work.
dude no way, you were in the same shoes as me as of right now. only difference is that i had 20$.
im payed an uber 20$ to drive me to walmart to get a job. theres no other way bro. talk to your doctor if you have anxiety problems or focusing problems. he'll get you xanax or Adderall. dont mix them. youll be a smart & confident alpha male. lift weights too. get used to weight lifting. eat right. have an apartment and stay away from faggots who drown your ambition & become a rich & happy alpha male with a hot mama for a girlfriend like me. learn to invest and read books

Don't go to your doctor for more things to abuse.
Smoking weed is fine in moderation, but like many others you have long since passed that point. Besides, Adderall and such will only take you off one dependence and onto another, or worse just add a dependence on top of the old one.
Your best bet if you don't up and leave for a change is to quit smoking or at least reduce it. You will start to notice how shitty life has really gotten, but that is part of the process. You will have a tough time until you start to cope with the boredom, and that could take upwards of a month after hard quitting.
I don't think hard quitting is the only option, though, because it is an incredibly easy way to overstress yourself while trying to fix the other problems too.
The solution, as mentioned above, is to plan.
Set easy goals. Wednesday is now laundry day, and you can't smoke until your laundry is all dry by the end of the day. When it is habit to do laundry wednesday then try expanding on it: now you have to fold your clothes as well before you puff.
Sounds stupid, sure, but it sends you in all the right directions: now you have clean clothes every week AND you spent the morning doing laundry instead of smoking and playing Dark Souls, helping to curb your habit even a little.
Start small, even if it seems pitifully so. Slow change is far easier to cope with than large change, and it doesn't take any more of your free time to plan ahead a day than it does to grind up a few grams
tl;dr be responsible. you seem to recognize the parts of your life that are holding you back, now you need to summon the strength to follow thru
move far away and get any crappy job to level up
