Taking mental health days as a parent

I called in sick to work today and just let my kids watch extra TV while I sat in the quiet. I needed it. Not sick physically but mentally I was done. Do other dads do this? I feel guilty but also like I needed to reset. Spent the afternoon just existing without pressure. Back at work tomorrow feeling better. Self care isn't always a spa day, sometimes it's just admitting you're overwhelmed and taking a breather.
