Good for you for standing up for yourself! Rain, you’re an adult and you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. You’ve gone through a lot recently and it’s completely understandable that you need some time to regroup.
At the risk of being the stick in the mud, I’d definitely set an end date to this downtime. You must be careful not to cross the line between self-care and avoidance. If you’re not feeling up to doing more by this time next month I would suggest contacting your mental health professional. If you believe that you’ve crossed the line between grief and depression or between living and existing, do seek the help you need.
