Severe Crisis right now

I’m gonna make this the shortest possible
I’m 22 years old
From california
Was brought here since I was 2 years old, I didn’t choose to be here but i grew up here and this country is all i know
Family is a devoted Jehovah witness family, I have absolutely no support group because of this religious group
I am a queer guy, there is no way for me to one day be legal unless i marry another guy

The only thing i got going on is that I learned the carpet and flooring trade because of my dad . Next month im disappearing on a random night , early June, all the way to the other side of America, into Illinois
Im gonna be leaving with 5.5k of savings, I already have an inflatable mattress, kitchenware, my legal documents in a box, work tools

I’d rent a room and since I have a compact car, I’m hoping I can work under another subcontractor who works for a flooring company, that way I’d raise money for my own truck without needing to sell my very reliable car right now
And if it works out that way, when i go so solo on the job
I’ll continue the prerequisites I never finished (that i payed out of pocket due to my status) for a cardiovascular tech program because i had forgotten that college is a dream for me. I still have dreams

I’m staying with a friend for the first few days while i search of a bedroom to rent fast. I made up my mind already, if i stayed i could’ve done college under my home but the mental anguish of being supressed of my real self is something i can’t handle anymore it feels like I’m rotting inside .

I was brought here as a baby. Was under the medi-cal plan of my parents but now I’m grown and went to apply but they said because of changes in Jan 1, I’d only be able to apply for Emergency health insurance
I was planning on getting my deviated septum fixed because I mouth breathe every night and also can’t breathe well during the days and get nose bleeds often as well… am I just doomed now? I’m incredibly sad
