You come before The Missing, always take care of yourself before others.
Hopefully you come out of this slump, and you'll be able to once again flex your epic writing skills. But like I said, your life takes priority. No one's able to write a story when they're not in the condition, and I feel that this "break" is well deserved after you bravely restarted the story. Of course exams are important, and you need to focus on those since those are kinda deciding your future. The Missing can be put to the side. And this story isn't everything, you've got a life to live. Everyone's glad you made it this far, and we all wish the best for you.
You made the right choice. Your daughter is proud, as is everyone else.
