I (18f) feel hopeless right now

I (18f) am still in high school, about to graduate in 4 months and I’m failing most of my classes, due to me being too lazy and unmotivated to do school work because I work right after school at starbucks :/, I also do not have any money saved up since working and I don’t have a social life at school anymore.

So overall, I don’t really feel good where I am at right now—I feel as if I focus too much on social media and I keep waiting for a text from my “friend” who I occasionally have sex with, but he’s gone ghost on me since the last time we met because he also personal problems to deal with as well. But unfortunately yesterday, my mom mentioned to me that she’s thinking about moving to texas to work because her job’s company is offering a package for $15k—she says she wants to leave and be by herself as we are originally from the bay area, california…she says I have choice to live with my uncles but I honestly don’t want to live with my family since I am 18 now. I have no other financial support besides my father, but I am definitely not close to him because of reasons I don’t want to disclose because it’s too long. I really want to start changing my mentality and start saving up money especially for college and also my essential needs.

I assume that my mom doesn’t want me to be dependent on her anymore because she had at at a young age (22) so she has barely had any time for herself and I honestly don’t know anyone else I could trust. Now she’s acting all cold on me but I don’t know why. I just want to cry. I’ve tried therapy to talk about my problems but it’s just so awkward telling my problems to a professional because I feel judged… I don’t feel good at all…I don’t know…I feel really anxious… I don’t even want to talk about this anymore. I honestly need advice because my mother doesn’t really give me good advice and she feels more like my older sister to me.
