We have some things in common. I left school at the age of 16. Did not even have enough credits for 10th grade. Like you, I was an achiever for a while. Always in the advanced classes. Won the 6th grade academics award for the highest gpa. Ran track/cross country in jr. high and high school. First in San Diego county in the jr olympics for the half mile. Varsity letter in my freshman year for cross country. Set some records on courses.
Here is where we differ. I grew up poor. None of us kids had much attention. I don't think my parents knew anything about my accomplishments. I had to have coaches take me to some big events because I could not get a ride from home.
I did my stuff for ME!!!
When I dropped out of school, I left the house. Never asked them for anything. We did not have a bad relationship. It was just not really existent. I was not seeking one either. I had nothing more than minimum wage jobs for years and was content with that for a start.
It seems that you feel to be some sort of a victim. Which is likely why you bury yourself into depression and games. Turn your attention to you and own up to where you are in life. You can have little and still be happy as long as you are moving forward.
