when you feel up to it. There is no reason you should feel guilty. Taking care of your mental health is paramount. Besides, you will learn a lot from a trip like that and, if you teach, contribute to others. When I was in my early twenties, I went to Europe for a year and a half. I worked in London, first at a cafe and then as a bike messenger. I traveled around Europe. Those were invaluable experiences. I bet it would be for you as well.

In the meantime, get on a waiting list for a new shrink. That one sounds bad.
