Hey dude, sounds like a tough patch you are going through, but all I can say is two or maybe 3 things.
1. Don't remain angry. It's a useless emotion that will end up hurting you more than whatever you are angry about. Feel it, accept it, then move on.
2. Perspective. We always lose it when we focus on our own plight. You have health, you have youth, you live in a country where you have education, the very basics of clean water, a steady food source, relative security and opportunity. Don't take these for granted. 1.3 billion people today live on $1.45 a day, almost 60% of all humanity on $10 or less.
3. Don't be so serious. The moment I realise things are getting really Serious (capital S) about how I view my situation without being able to be light hearted, is the moment I realise I am being a selfish little prima donna. Not calling you one, just the more self focused you are on your problem the more serious everything seems to become in your mind.
I'm not trying to invalidate your feelings at all, but don't wallow in the dark places where you go around in circles thinking, what if or, if only ; instead accept your situation, just trust in yourself and your instincts and go with it. Things should work out, and if not exactly to plan, well that's life for you and the flaw of most humans in wanting to control more than we ever could to start with.
Always here for support if you need man. :) Now get unserious and enjoy the time you do have. The future will take care of itself in some other now.
