Sounds exactly like where I live, just without the heroin problem

A lot of reasons.

>22 and still live with parents
>job with pay that's a couple dollars over min. wage
>the area is a dead industrial town filled with white trash and a growing heroin problem
>just see a lot of stuff on a daily basis at work or in the local towns that makes me feel like crap
>sibling constantly saying that I look/act depressed all the time, gave me a career guide book to read
>stopped going to community college over a year ago because I was having a crisis, still haven't found a career I'd be interested in going back for
>parents don't want me to go to a larger school because they have no money, they've offered little to no assistance with anything post-high school related
>spend the days doing things I used to enjoy (like reading manga and playing in concert bands) but it feels like I'm just going through the motions because I know how to

I almost have 10k in my savings which seems okay but I feel like I'm at the age where I should be somewhere in my life or making more than $10/hr. I missed out on a lot in the past couple years because I've spent so much time working...I'm just really dispirited and feel out of place.

>tfw summer is the shittiest season for anything clothing-related because it's constantly 85-90 degrees outside
>too hot to wear good lolita without sweating or feeling like crap
>humidity kills hair to the point where I just keep it up 24/7
>have to wear tans or short sleeves with shorts
>started cycling and now I'm starting to get that cyclist leg tan
