It's entirely possible that you take a long break from work and find that you don't want to do anything. That means that you burned out completely. Just say that in an interview - that you needed to take a serious mental break, recharge, find your new orbit, and decide what you wanted to do next.

If you look for a job a bit later, it's actually easier than looking for it right after when you find yourself unemployed ;)
