I don't know how people will receive this question, but I've made some hard mistakes in the past regarding drugs and leading my life to a stagnation point for that and other reasons, and I've come out of it only to realize and learn some scary and awe-inspiring stuff about myself and the world surrounding me.
It's a big story and I don't want to bother you with it, mainly because I'm interested in your story or life-lessons, but if I can at least teach something from my life so far, is that happy moments, joyful moments (as small as they are) do count. Those are the moments you'll recall whenever you need shelter and they are good luggage to carry, but do never get stuck those small moments in the past. Your life has already started, you don't have to wait for anything in particular to start living it the best you possibly can.
Anyway, if I haven't lost you already, I'd like to hear your story and any advice you'd like to give to someone who might be in similar situations and dead ends as you once were.
Also please don't be afraid to post just because you think you are too young thus having little life experience, everyone experiences life in a different way, you may just be older than you think!

I keep either doing nothing or not doing what I want. Still making that mistake to this day.
Right now I know what I want to do and yet I just accepted a job offer that is most definitely not what I want to do. I know that not everyone can have a job they love and some people just have to grin and bear it with a job they hate - but it'd be really cool to not be one of those people. I did the same thing in secondary school, chose GCSEs that just weren't right for me because I though it was what I "should" do, and college as well - such bad A-level choices. Now I'm stuck.

I feel you dude, like I said in my OP, procrastinating was also one of the worst things I've let myself fall into. Every day goes after the other and everything just eventually blends in into a mix of bland, boring, sequenced days that I'd never get back.
My advice is trying to find some means to escape what makes you stress, also don't set huge goals if you realistically know they are impossible to achieve, be honest with yourself but be self-conscious, don't beat around the bush with matters you fell are trivial, try getting at the next small step to see where that leads you. If you don't have a purposeful goal then you can either make your life bland or uncertainly delightful.
