Are these solo projects, or projects where you're working with other people? If you're working with other people, is there some expectation of a certain productivity level?

If you're working with team-mates you should probably consider updating them, even if it's just a brief message to say you're having some issues and will be less active.

If you're trying to maintain a community or following a similar brief explanation may be appreciated and let people know that you're just taking a break rather than abandoning the project.

Other than that, if you're just working by yourself there's probably no need to update anyone.

If you're having health/well-being problems, you should definitely take the time to deal with them, and if necessary that might mean leaving a project altogether at least for the meantime -- don't push yourself to continue making small regular updates if it will be damaging to your health, unless those updates are necessary to maintain a product from which you earn your main income.
