In Summary: Suffering from Depression, might be suffering a lot more due to the pandemic and remote learning but I've been a somewhat depressed and lonely person in the past. I have a virtual thesis defense next week and while I initially profusely refused because I am a workaholic, I know I'm on the verge of burnout again and I'm worried about my sanity. Mom is too, which is why she's urging me to go since I broke down in front of her on-call yesterday.

Checked my due dates, I don't have much atm and they leave this Sunday and will be gone for the week. Mom says maybe being around family and fresh air (while being able to do work since I have a good laptop anyway) will do me good. I could do work during the day and socialize during mealtimes and in the evenings. Should I go? They told me I can just use my family's wifi while I'm there. I've carried my group in our projects so far, and I'm the only one who hasn't seemed to properly go outside for a long time.
