Neither...for health and mental health I've had to step away from segments of my own life in the past year. Was not quitting, but instead taking a time out to heal, to calm the demons of depression that seem to accompany a stroke or other major health obstacle thrown in our life path.
Some thought I was quitting, but the ones who I love, and respect, the ones who showed their true colors were the ones who checked on me, stopped by, offered to run errands or take me to a medical appointment. When someone needs to take a time out, step away from the fray is when they need your support the most.
