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

>I am in the middle of getting divorced, hope to wrap it up by the end of 2023 and expect about a 1.5 mil settlement. Will I be ok not working for the foreseeable future?

"Hope" and "expect" aren't a real plan.

There's no way to tell if you will be okay not working without knowing more about your goals and expenses, your future income streams (like social security, pensions, etc.) and other details. You will always be better off landing your next job before quitting your current job.

Hopefully you are getting professional help for your mental health issues.

Do you have enough money liquid (or that can become liquid) to support yourself for the foreseeable future?

Can you? Yes.

Is it a good idea? There isn't enough info here about your budget, how in tune you are with your real expenses and the gap you need to cover, the duration of the gap and if there are dependents.

Taking care of your mental health is incredibly important, but so is being able to have expenses associated with food clothing shelter and transportation covered.
