Ignoring is the worst option of the three because it is impolite.
I used to be in your shoes and have since rebuilt most of my connections, and my advice to you is to be honest, ie to reply explaining that you felt down and therefore could not respond right away. If the person wrote to you in the first place, he or she would be glad to hear from you. Also, if you talk about life being hard with a touch of self-deprecation, it would go down well.
