 Stuck in a rut
I'm 17, graduated HS (a year early), I have no job, no car, no license (got it taken away by the court) and no girlfriend. I am stuck in a srsly shitty rut, and I don't know how to fix it. I've tried applying EVERYWAREZ and it seems like no one is hiring. I have no money, and any money I acquire goes to weed, or occasionally harder drugs. I smoke too much cigarettes (almost a pack a day, which is alot for most people my age that I know), and I never get exercise.
It seems like I used to have a lot of friends, but most of them have moved or I don't talk to anymore, and now it seems like I don't hang out with that many people. And as far as girls are concerned, it's like they can smell the unproductiveness reeking off me - I can NOT get a fucking girlfriend, or interest most girls. It didn't used to me like that, and I know it's because I'm depressed and don't give a shit about a lot of things, and they can tell.
I have no idea what I want to do with my future, only that I want to move out of my Dad's ASAP and get an apartment (I turn 18 in March). I don't know, everything is just so vague to me, it's like all of a sudden I'm going to be an adult and I don't know how to be on my own really. It's not that I'm scared to be away from my home, I've been gone months on end before (jail, rehab, Europe vacations) but it's that I'm worried about how to be completely independent, because I HATE living with my dad.
EDIT: I forgot to add that in the past few days I've cut down on my smoking (which is hard for a 5 year smoker, I know I'm young but still) and I've been working out a little bit... so I'm taking some initiative, but it all seems so fucking hopeless.
Can anyone here help, or give advice? I'm guessing some of you older posters have been through the teenage "growing up" depression phase, and could offer some good advice.
