Of course provided you can, try to take as much time off as you need. I would however encourage you to keep just busy enough (or lack of routine might destabilise you only further and make the anxiety to start again only worse) by spreading out your course-load more, again if possible. Take enough rest, but also do things to take your mind off your worries.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
