My car is quite scary to drive in, first thing is my car wobbles it isnt very noticeable when you're going above about 40 MPH but when you slow down/brake/or drive at about 0-30 mph it shakes a lot my alignment is off a little but way too much shaking for that i think? What could be the causes of this?

My next thing is when my car hits bumps or like little pot holes you hear a very distinct Thud coming from the car it sounds like its on the inside but i'm not sure

i know there is something wrong with my car I just can't tell like what the problem is or where it is occurring at

Anything?

I think you need a safety check, it sounds like you have a lot going on with the suspension, maybe a shifted belt in your tire, tie rods ,ball joints. it could be several things, best thing to do is put it up in the air and have it looked at.
