I agree with the posts above - your third option is look for a way to take some time out. This one seems the best to me as it doesn't mean giving it all up - it only feels like that because you are in a bad place now.
Trying to carry on as normal isn't going to get you anywhere - as you've already implied.
Hang on to what you wrote here as its true....
Rationality says; people who love me will want me to be Ok, over and above all.
Re: Your supervisor - it would be a good idea to make them aware that you are struggling. But no need to go into details. e.g." I have got so stressed I can't function properly lately. I've had to take time out. I'm going to see my GP about it all..." Even if you just send them an email.
Remember you are not a failure for having a relapse.
Good luck.
