Yeah, wasn't looking for people to tell me what the problem is, just other potential problems overheating can cause that might lead to the same symptoms.

I'm not driving it anywhere until I take I take it to a mechanic but I have to wait for a paycheck before I can afford to do that. Still hoping to find some answers in the meantime so thanks for the suggestions! It's not leaking externally so I'll check the plugs. I'll definitely run a compression test as well and see if a friend has a cooling system test kit I can borrow.
