Road Trip

I am an 18 year old male self diagnosed with S.A.D, G.A.D., ADHD, and Bi-Polar Disorder. To put it simply, I'm at the end of my rope. I currently have the choice to take 1150 USD from my college savings and go on a 3 week cross country road trip. I don't care about college and am seriously considering this road trip. Basically, I'd leave a note to my parents telling them that I went on this road trip and just take off. Has anyone ever pulled something like this? How did it turn out? I no longer give a fuck about anything so I'm hoping this will do me well.

If you think it's the only thing that will make you happy, go for it. It's a very bad financial decision which is easy enough to look past when you have the conditions that you do.
You do have to try as hard as you can to stop for a minute and actually realize what you're about to do.
Drop out of/not go to college Blow over a grand to do something that may make you temporarily happy
You're setting yourself up for a road of hard knocks and financial despair if you decide to do this, which is most likely on an impulse, but you reap what you sow - and if the thought of working fast food your whole life is alright with you then go for it, you're officially an adult now and make your own decisions.
For the record, I have horrible ADHD which I control with proper diet, cannabis, running, and tea.

I have ADD and I control it via the discipline attained by Tae Kwon Do.

You made me lolirl.
That's probably your play on ADD being over diagnosed, but I assure you, if it's real then I'm one of the true cases. I was the kid who jumped up and down screaming with joy in school because he got the correct answer before anyone else. I don't even remember school, but that's how people that I went to school with describe me.

I'm a live wire. I've taken off quite a few times. People didn't like it but you know what? I've lost a million more "friends" and had more people turn on me and be treacherous scum over things like envy (that's the big one) than I ever did because of my shenanigans. I've had a hard life and I'm a free spirit. I've paid the price to fly.
What's the point of all this? It's up to you OP, it's ALL up to YOU.

is that $1150 yours to do with what you want? Or money somebody else saved for you?

The thing is, I have no desire to have a job. Personally, I don't think being homeless is that bad at all.

So you accept disease and death after an average of 5 years out of pure laziness? I just got oral tumor removed even though I have decent dental hygeine, not fun. I can't imagine slowly losing my teeth and being able to smell the stench of my own breath. There are many things you could do to succeed in a happy life, going to school for water purification is mine. Don't fuck your parents lives up just because you couldn't think ahead.

All men were homeless before the first homes were built.

Men have always sought shelter, just like all other land-dwelling mammals. Fortunately for us and a few others we were smart enough to readily build it. The average life expectancy in America in 1800 was 37. 1900: 50. Today: 77. You think we got this far by being bums? No, we got here by putting our minds to work.
Nobody will help someone who won't help themselves. If you want to be a homeless bum dying of a disease or from your mouth and skin rotting, maybe even simple lethargy then by all means, go for it. I'll support you buddy! We weren't made to live as long as we do anyway, I'd rather die of something than be laying in bed, 80 years old, dying of nothing.
You think you know best, probably because your parents didn't discipline you for shit, but you'll be put in your place soon enough if you choose to go the easy path you desire.
Good luck.

well my friend, you should go and forget the alphabet soup of bullshit you've been fed about your "disorders."
You could probably go longer than 3 weeks...That kind of cash can be stretched pretty far.
