What is your question?
The gauge goes all the way up about 10 15 min after driving, water starts boiling and steaming but nothing is mixed in the oil and white smoke doesn't come out of the exhaust either. I just replaced the the thermostat and did a radiator flush.. although I just realized water does leak from the radiator somewhere could that be the issue? Also on another note the wheni drive it takes awhile to gather speed properly n stuffers ablittle bit until it catches speed then it stops only when I make a complete stop this happens and if I try to push the gas to hard to catch speed the car will turn off. What does this mean? Is it worth fixing? Or is it going to be a lot of money to fix? Or am I better off getting rid of the car? Thanks for ur time and help! It's truly greatly appreciated..
What makes this problem better or worse?
When I put heater on the temperature will drop and taking off super slow until it gets enough power to do so on itsbowm

If the radiator is leaking you need to fix that before you can diagnose an overheating issue. That could be the entire issue as the system can't build pressure and may be low. The other issues will at least require a good scan tool to find trouble codes or look at live data. Figure if the car needs work and has some miles it's worth what, 2 grand? Just look up kelly blue book, see what the car is worth and then go from there. If it needs a radiator and say a cheap ignition coil for the other issue then fix it. If the other issue is going to get expensive then dump it.
