I am confused. Are you 30 or 17 years old?

I am 18 years old and I would like to quit high school but that mean I'll be booted out of home with no job and no future.

It would probably be fine if I just have a laptop, car, portable food and water storage(with self cleaning water filter?), and a steady source of income that let me eat. However, I have health issue, and I wouldn't survive long on the street without medicine.

So even if I got a large enough source of income and emergency fund, I still need health insurances so I don't die and they're really expensive.

17. :)

Please get your GED (so you can avoid high school) and apply to a college of some kind.

You're still young enough that it'll be easy for you to have a great social life there once you get the medicine or therapy you need to overcome the anxiety.
