My flow option is missing from my options bar for my brushes. Only the opacity is showing. The brush strokes look terrible for a basic pencil preset and I can only make strokes with my wacom tablet, not even on my trackpad. Help Please!! What else can I do? I've tried resetting my workspace and clicking the options in the window drop menu with no success. Here is a screen shot of my menu bar and what the pencil stroke looks like...

You might be confusing the Brush Tool and the Pencil Tool.

As soon as I posted this question I figured that out. I never switch my paint brush to pencil and some how it got switched without me noticing. Thanks for responding.

Do you have Photoshop > Preferences > Tools > Use Shift Key for Tool Switch checked?

Otherwise inadvertently hitting the single key shortcut multiple times might change the Tool selection.
