Years ago I voluntarily took several months off due to anxiety issues. I thought it would help me feel better and initially it did (in all honesty, I also had some guilt about this, too). However, going back to work was very difficult and, ironically, I had a load of anxiety about it.
I wonder if a brief reduction in your work schedule might be an option? You would remain in the flow but get somewhat of a break. Just an idea ...
