Is there any way to downgrade from this horrible version 18? Well any way other than bricking my phone and starting from scratch.

Go to Settings>Battery>Battery Health. What is the Maximum Capacity? If it's less than 80%, you need a new battery.
This is the worst update ever, the controls center,
You can use the Control Center in the same way as before. You don't need to customize it if you don't want to.
camera roll got super complicated I do not have a clear overview anymore.
Yes, the new version of Photos is different and does take a little while to get used to. But, if you take the time to learn how to use it, you may find it's not so bad.
Why creating an IOS update if it makes the life of apple user more complicated??!
So Apple should never add new features or make changes? Change almost always requires that we learn some new things but, if you remain open to learning new things you might 1) find out you like them and 2) help keep your brain young.
An update should be there to make everything more efficient and easier... truly disappointed. As everyone else here I am sharing the same struggles and wish there was a way to get back to IOS17!!!
It's a lot easier to learn new things if you stop being so angry about it. And no, not everyone wants to go back to iOS 18.
I wanna downgrade from this disastrous 18 version, my phone is just so complicated to use!
You can't. So, your choices are to learn how to to use iOs 18 or get a different brand of phone. That, of course, would involve a much larger learning curve.
I hope Apple sees this and takes action!
Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:
To make your feedback most effective, I suggest you stick to specific issues, not requests to be able to downgrade. That's highly unlikely to ever happen.

Did you tell Apple? They are the ones who can make changes:

I am very happy with all of the new and improved features of iOS 18, ESPECIALLY Photos. You might be also, if you read the release notes that you must have missed when you went to the Update page→What’s new in iOS 18 - Apple Support
While I don’t have a need for the new mail features, it took me about 10 seconds to turn them off and go back to the way it used to work.

Far too many people will take you up on that.

There's nothing anyone here can do about the fact you don't like or didn't want the features. They are here now. So, you can either learn to use them or sit around being grumpy. The choice is yours.
Apple please just give us the option of having the new or the old look and functionality and do force us to need to spend time we don’t have learning how to use the interface all over again just because someone has an idea they think is cool

Well, actually they do with the customization features, and you have spent more time here complaining about it than it would take to learn and customize Photos. It took me less than 5 minutes; more like 3, and works exactly the way I want it to, which is much better that the old one where Apple dictated how everything should work.

Well, have you considered the option of learning about the changes and how to use them effectively?

Apple doesn't particpate here in this user-to-user forum. If you need support from Apple, you can use the Support link at the bottom left of every page.
If you want to let Apple know your thoughts, use the Feedback page:
However, I can tell you that Apple has never supported downgrading of iOS (or iPadOS). It is unlikely that will change. Since that's the case, you may want to start paging through the User Guice and learning how to use the new features. You might want to start with this page:

So is it as bad as windows 8
Me too. The update SUCKS
