I call it "Putting my life on pause". And when I worked & had more frequent asthma exacerbations, I got really, really good at it. There were days I only made it from my bedroom to the couch. And the simple act of getting myself some soup took more strength & breath than I had.
Take care of yourself. Right now, it's The Universe politely tapping you on your shoulder to encourage self-care. But She can be insistent if we don't respond. I hope you feel better very soon! REST. FLUIDS. <3
