Isolation and weakness... or am I getting stronger?

July 17 - I have not been answering calls and feeling like I just want to be left alone. I feel vulnerable and don't want to put myself in a situation where I might make a decision - I have been offered another job but feel negative about the agency that is offering it. I worked for them for a year and got laid off because there was a shortfall for executive bonuses. Their way of making up the difference meant getting rid of two entry level managers. Now they want to know if I am interested in coming back now that two seasoned managers have left the company. They probably think "wow - we could get a great deal on this one - get twice the work for less than half the pay." I haven't worked for them since February.
I will have to think about it and figure out what it means to go back or refuse to go back. I am taking a break from work and I have only been unemployed for 5 days - and already there are opportunities that I am hesitant to accept... it might be another mistake like accepting the last job I had to quit.
I want to get stronger and when I make a decision I want it to be a full hearted yes or no. I don't like going into a situation with the attitude that "I just need to work" when I realistically can afford to take time to take care of myself and heal.
Anyone else faced with tough decisions while keeping their health and mental stability in check?
