Hi can anyone tell me how to reply this email. Should I be honest about how okay I am, or keep it professional? Wording would be helpful. Thanks.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

We cannot tell you "how ok" you are, or what part of "being ok" you want to share with others. Generally speaking, "stay professional" is never wrong. Seems like a genuine question, just reply according to what you prefer... stay on their list or not.

The position is Support Worker. I resigned from a project because I couldn't cope with the gross negligence of the Manager , and now Recruitment wants to know if I am okay and whether I want to work at another project.

"How are you" in English is usually social ritual rather than being a serious inquiry. In this case you can give a ritual response such as "I'm doing fine, thanks for asking", or give a meaningful but terse response ("I'm feeling better...." or whatever), or you can ignore that question completely.
In a business letter I'd generally ignore it -- it doesn't actually mean much more than setting a friendly tone for the letter. They aren't you doctor or your close friends. They are "not" expecting a detailed report on your status.
They want to know if you are interested in coming back. Answer that part politely, with an appropriate level of enthusiasm if you do want the work. That's all you need to do.

Thanks. I have met the Recruitment Manager and we got along well, so I was wondering whether I should reply in a meaningful way to her enquiry about "how I am", She does know some shit went down at the service I resigned from, which would have caused me some stress, but I think I will keep it strictly professional.

Generally, assume it's just formal ritual unless the person knows you and your situation very well and actually cares. I'm recovering from a medical emergency at the moment, but I would assume that the other person is not really interested in all the details unless they ask much more explicitly and directly. The most I would tell most folks in writing is "recovering, but not quite ready to go back to work yet."
