Perhaps it’s time for a chat with the GP.

Take the day off. Say you have d&v or say you are very stressed, whichever would be better with your workplace. Do you feel your employment is secure? If so you could take longer off perhaps.

You are dealing with four stressful things (the break up and the assault are double stress) and you're only human.

Bless you, could you ring in sick and give yourself a break? Sounds like you have a lot on your shoulders.

That’s a lot. You’re allowed to be sick even when WFH. I disagree with above poster, if you can be honest with your manager, you should tell them why - they may be able to support you.
Get on to your GP for support too

Does your work have some kind of Employee assistance program that you could call?

Agree with the others though, I think you need to speak to your GP Thanks
