Yes, I can relate to deep feelings of helplessness, confusion and the inability to move oneself (I like to call it "volitional collapse"*).

My opinion based on limited information: Yes.

Probably a good call. Try not to feel like you need to be good company. Try to allow yourself to recover and readjust.

Unfortunately, "volitional collapse" is used by some to mean loss of the will to live. In my case, it's loss of the ability to will things, to want things, to self-mobilize.
