  In my mind, it would seem that unscheduled time off on your terms nowish is preferable to maybe having unscheduled time off on uncertain terms when you hit your limits. Work can be a place to escape what's going on in life while processing, but if it's causing anxiety too, it's not helping and a break may be useful.

  I hear you, I did a way too long sting that was 24/7/365 on call, couldn’t fly more than 2 hours away. Super unhealthy over a period of a few years. I try to remind myself of the reality is you’d likely be way more effective with time off away. Not to be morose, if you went away work would replace you within a week or a month. What helped for me was learning to take one honest minute per hours, one hour per day, and one day per week. And build from there. Find the things that get you in touch with yourself and make them non negotiable.
