First things are food, clothing, and shelter. Are you set for these? Can you get set?
My guess is that Social Services can help you line up a GED program that goes along with work and "life skills" like driving.
No, you're not in a bed of roses, but you're taking responsibility and looking toward the future. To my way of thinking, that makes you worthwhile. You have a child to provide for, better than you were provided for. And judging from what you said about your grades, you have skills and abilities that are very worth developing.
One reason I always admired Bill Clinton was that, regardless of everything else he did, he bootstrapped himself. I'm not saying you have to become president (good grief, why would you WANT to?), but I'm saying that this country still has the means of helping people like you create good lives.
I admire it when people do that.
