I think when we are dealing with what we are dealing with, we are on the verge of tears at any given time. I know I am pushed to my max right now.
You are human and as a human you only can take so much. Hopefully your superiors are compassionate people and have had some things going on in their own lives and they will understand. I certainly would not hesitate to tell them that you are having a personal situation of sorts.
Everyone is carrying a burden of some sort.
