Taking Short Term Disability Leave, Am I Stupid?

Been working from home since COVID and it’s making me stir crazy and almost causing me to drink. A few years back I took a STD leave thru my employer insurance with 60% of my pay for a few months because of the same reasons. Christmas season in effect, not making much money, depression and anxiety, and my gf is still working her full time higher paying job while I get on leave. I guess I’m not asking if this is stupid but more so ranting and asking for advice on what to do? My gf obviously isn’t happy about it but this is only way I can keep my job, get some money, and get some time away from work. Am I stupid, lazy or both?
