I think everyone needs a break and everyone needs time to convalesce as well. Sometimes we just need to let ourselves be sick and allow ourselves to experience that...I think it's part of knowing our limits and part of self care as well. The ultimate goal though should be to be able to not get sucked down in it and be able to move forward when it is time.
Everyone here wants to see you succeed. Succeeding does not mean doing everything perfectly and being the best person ever. Succeeding means taking care of you and looking out for Jer. If what you need to do is allow yourself some downtime then do this, but don't lose site of your ultimate goals.
Good for you for standing up to your Mother and to others in your life. One of the most difficult things about healing and moving forward is that most of the time as you are moving forward, others are not and you slowly start to pull away from them and there becomes a distance. Sometimes this is healthy though.
Just give yourself a little time to breathe and rest. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and let yourself begin to recover. As you begin to feel better, you can start to work with things and get yourself back on your game. 
Take care!!
