People won't ask nearly as much as you think they will because people don't think about your life nearly as much as you think they do. Nobody is watching to see how often you screw up, so relax a little and do you.
That said, if you do face the question, be vague. You could say you had a medical situation that's since resolved, you could say you took time off for personal reasons. I told people I was taking time off to find myself, lol. But again, nobody really asks. Tons of people take longer than four years to complete their degrees for so many different reasons.
