Don't go to university directly after school. Get an apprenticeship as a software developer or better yet, as a webdeveloper in a company that creates websites for customers.
Get a car! Be independent! This is the freedom you so desperately need. With a finished apprenticeship and a possibility to leave your old life behind... The rest will fall into place. Everywhere is better than staying in the pity puddle that is your hometown.
Don't go live with your dad.
Don't get on the motorcycle he buys you.

Boo! Then I'd run away
It doesn't get better.
You have ADHD. If you don't do something about it, it will undermine you your whole life and you'll blame yourself.
Also, take up running. You're really good at it, and future you wishes she took it up when she was your age

Be kind to yourself
Take that job in Nigeria do a few years and you should be set. Don't overthink it.
I know what you're going through. Trust me it'll get worse. But afterwards it's good you didn't do it. It gets sooooo much better just a year or so after. You'll be happy just sit tight for a bitband do what you think is right.
