NEVER feel quilty about needing to take some time out for your self.... just don't make it a regular habit to hide away for ever. Getting out side every day (even for just 15 minutes) can realy help rid the black cloud that often hangs over ones head.... I love walking the local lake - I am out in public and around people without having to interact unless I choose to do so.
