I don't want to get into lots of personal detail, but it's the kind of thing that when you see it from the outside it's clear as day. And saddening.
Every trip I'm considering/planning on taking in the next year or two is in a spreadsheet and I've got various things set up to notify me as deals come along that might influence when exactly I take those trips.
If you want to travel on a regular basis at low cost, doing that sort of thing is basically a necessity. I have more places I'd like to go than money or time.
Now, if you are looking at it as "two months from now I'm going to need another break from all this stress" when you haven't even left for your trip next week, that's concerning.
But when you also have an issue like depression or bipolar, or you're in the midst of an episode of the same, then these can be datapoints in a different kind of story.
