We don’t know your expenses. How long is the foreseeable future? What have you been doing to work on your mental health? I know people who quit, use it as a reset, and rejoin the workforce. I know people who quit, lose the structure of their day, let themselves go, and have their health suffer. It’s a leave of absence an option?
Either way, it is harder to rejoin most industries if you’re older and if there’s a gap in your employment. So is your settlement enough to cover your expenses for a few years without impacting your quality of life? If you’ve got expensive cars and a huge mortgage, probably not. If you live a modest lifestyle in a low or medium COL location, you’re more than fine
