No plans for the weekend. I'm lacking motivation.

I’m glad you texted T. One of the things I noted when recovering from psychosis is I had social boundaries set up. Like people expect me to ABC, not take a day off because something was due etc. in the end I ended up in the hospital because I refused to take a vacation day I was entirely entitled to use. Yes people would have been upset that I used the day but it was way worse when I got sick. I always think back to my first episode like if I had just taken a day off this might not have ever even happened because mine was stress based. Just my thoughts.
As far as motivation you can still have awesome plans at home. Maybe set up some time coloring while listening to music and having a favorite snack….if you can’t get there yourself ask for help from family or irl friends…like I really need a cake [emoji513] or something.
