Default need some advice

My parents are wanting me to go to my cousins' graduations this weekend. One is on Saturday and one is on Sunday. Here are my issues:

Both graduations are an hour and a half car ride. One is outside in the heat and the other is inside, in an auditorium with no air conditioning. (small town schools).

I know I can wear earplugs, but I have issues with the heat and traveling long distances still.

I feel pressured to go, and thus far my parents have been understanding with my PCS issues, but I can tell my mom is getting frustrated and thinks I am playing it up to get out of going to functions.

What should I do? I am trying not to overanalyze, and trying not to expect a relapse either, but I want to be realistic about where I am at in my recovery.


Forgot to add: my grandfather is going. He is 86 and very weak , and part of the issue is that"if he is going, why shouldn't I go?"
Anything anyone has to say would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
