Let someone else step up! Hopefully there's someone on your team looking for extra responsibility. Take advantage of that!
If you recover, you'll know you have a helping hand and it will either set you up for being able to take on higher level issues, or at least reset expectations for team velocity for those times when you're down. If you don't recover, at least this sets up the team to be able to continue without you, so you don't have to bear that guilt if you leave.
I recommend doing this before taking time off. Otherwise you would just come back to the exact same scenario and burn out again in a couple of days.
