How should I spend my summer vacation?

Hi! So I’m a 17 year old girl and I have ME/CFS, long COVID, and dysautonomia, and this school year was hell. It’s so hard to get through school with chronic illness because ALL my energy is going to school. It’s fucking depressing because for the last ten months it’s been go to school, go home and recover just enough to get out of bed and go to school again. I lost all sense of self and fun because I couldn’t have a life outside of school.

However, I just finished my last exam and now it’s summer! I have no plans or commitments because I want to fill my summer with the most fun things I can, now that my energy is no longer going all to my studies. But the thing is, I don’t know what I want to do! Do you have any ideas on fun chronic illness friendly things to do this summer?
