Worrying myself to a point where I wanna cut.

As the title says. I've worried myself to where I want to cut. I doubt I'll have a way to. But in there being the want is a problem. And it's because I'm almost 18 and have nowhere to go... My family won't take me.. and I mean anybody in my family.. I'll be leaving the group home at 18, and I just don't know what I'm gonna do.. do i try to go to the UK with my boyfriend asap?. Or do I stay in the states where I know where im at and can get a job in my hometown easily. And on top of that what do I do with my life?.. I could pursue football, or my YouTube channel, or my music.. anything along those lines.. but I just don't wanna pick the wrong thing and spend the rest of my life regretting it...

What's you regret? Do what your heart tells you to do. You are at and age where your while life is ahead of you so even if your initialdecision doesn't work out your next decision might be the better one. No one knitted there predestined path. Choose what feels best to you and try it. If it fails, move to the next

a7xfoREVer, let me tell you, you can choose something and then change you rmind! It's really ok. Don't boil it down to this decision or that. As Scaredandafraid said, follow your heart, listen to your truth. Take the first step. You don't have to know how it's all going to work out.

I would also suggest staying in the states. Go where you know you can find work. You want to balance between following a path that is reliable, but also staying inspired to follow your dreams. You can do both!

Trust yourself. Take it one step at a time.

Thank you, the thing is, I'm fragile, if I choose something and it doesn't work out, something that I LOVE, then it will break me, and I don't want to feel like that...
