I was offered respite admissions when I was last under 136 but I declined because I felt like if I took a break from life I wouldn't be able to pick it back up again and I'd rely on admissions for a long time.
I think they're helpful if there are certain things in your life which are stressful/have negative effects on your MH - in the past for me this has been a relationship, work and family life - but as I find all of life hard to deal with at the moment I don't see how taking two or three days out would be helpful.
Take care of yourself.
