1. You deserve a trip. Drop the notion

that you do not. You are trying new things with your mental health and that can be so stressful, painfull and exhausting. I too am up late and sleep 12 hours on average. It is what you do with the time you are awake that matters. Once you have stabilized you can look into novel ways of keeping yourself busy and learning and living your life and having fun. But for now you are going through changes and adjustments. That is all anyone can ask of you right now. And hey! Would you say that someone who had gone through a gall bladder operation didn't deserve a trip to Hawaii as they were healing? NO WAY! So stop feeling guilty about it and enjoy. I cannot think of a DUer who deserves the trip more than you.
