Please help: Your opinion?
My family is going to Japan next Tuesday for a week except me… for now.
I’m not sure whether I should go along.
I want to stay home and study because I will be having my A Levels next year (somewhat like AP and IB), and I haven’t been studying much this year as I dropped out of school for half a year due to some personal problems.
If I do not go on a vacation, I could stay home and study and go for my weekly therapy (maybe two times next week). But if I go on a vacation, my mother said that I could still bring my books along and stay in the hotel room and study on my own. But the thing is that I hate traveling, I have tinnitus I hate the high pressure in the plane and the noise, and my anxiety increases when I am in a foreign country, the unfamiliarity. So does it make sense to study in other country while my family are out? The thing is, if I do not go, my mother would be upset. I, on the other hand, am upset that she doesn’t seem to understand that I have to study.
I am not the type of teenager to likes to have fun and such. I am the introvert, thinking type. I hate going out, shopping and crowds. But I live in a tropical country and it would be nice to go somewhere cold for a while. I also think that my therapist would get angry if I skipped any session next week (I didn’t get to see her this week). I do not know exactly why I feel that way but when I told her that I do not want to go away, she said that she wanted to go. Would she be jealous, angry?
What are your thoughts?
Thank you.

First forget your moms’ reaction, you aren’t here to please her anymore. Accept whatever complaints she has and let it pass. This is you and your future we’re talking about. Moms’ get upset over the stupidest reasons. If you feel you need a break and this trip sounds like the thing to de-stress (that’s what vacations are for) go. If not you’ll have the house to your self and can study or loaf around as you please. If you stay, do try to have suummm kinda fun, don’t just hole up in the house or apartment and decay, very important. Make sure they give you enough money to make it thru thier abscence. If you are not working.
