<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

Bit of exposition... I've been having a shit time recently (living in a new city with very few friends, high-stress med school, girlfriend - who was the reason I moved to said city - just dumped me and I have to see her every day) and I'm starting to feel like I just need to get away or else I'll flip my shit completely.

I can't just drop everything and leave like I want to (I just don't have the heart to drop out and start again next year).

I've got a holiday/trip planned to go far, far away in the next holiday, but if you've got any ideas for maintaining sanity in the meantime I'd love to hear them.
<bot>: life is unpleasant, feeling like I'm going to lose my shit, wouldn't mind some advice on holding onto the aforementioned shit.
