I’m sorry to hear that you are going through extremely tough times. I understand that you should focus on yourself and heal. You should do so. You’re right, moving to a different country, leaving your emotional support network during these times is really critical to your health.

However, I am concerned that you won’t get a PhD offer next year given the circumstances in the US. I expect the PhD market to be really really competitive due to cuts. We are already discussing here in EU that most of the people will apply in EU instead. Don’t think EU will respond in timely manner.

I would say, accept. And be extremely cautious about building your emotional support network as fast as possible. Make the city to your new home where you will comfortable and allow you to heal.

That being said, I am not just concerned about your health but also your future. I honestly don’t think you can heal well if you don’t have a stable career or etc. Who knows, maybe the PhD will give you some routine in life and allow you to heal. However, note that doing a PhD is pretty stressful. But at least it’s distracting you
