Is there any way for me to use this software? either through download, buying, or subscription?

Photoshop 2018 is no longer available for download or installation. Adobe offers the current and one previous version.

 

One thing worth a try is to delete the preferences file. Photoshop will create a new one when you relaunch it.

Scroll to Reset Photoshop Preferences.

@RM80s what changed? Did you recently upgrade the OS? If so you may have upgraded past compatibility. When you chose to stay on 2018 the entire system should have been held in that time frame.
