<prompt> Human: Hi everyone,Ill try to keep this short and simple.I have been working my first job out of college for close to 2 years now. Lately, I have been battling mental health issues that I have had for years due to the massive stress that this job entails.I currently make about 80kyear and have about 20k saved up. I am pretty confident I could get another job but I dont want to jump into another job right away without figuring out what I really want to do which is playing into my mental anguish right now because I know my current job is not what I want to do and also need a break from the high stress environment.I know its usually looked down upon from potential employers if you have gaps in your resume but I want to take the time off and learn some new skills hone my coding and learn some new programapplications relevant to my field. Ive also been thinking of going back to school but that would be almost a year out at this point for the 2019 school year. If I take, say, 3 months off while actively looking for other jobs, is leaving now going to severely impact me? Every day I go to my job, I feel like I am getting more and more depressed and shutting myself off from the outside world.Any advice on this would be appreciated, especially from those who have been in similar situations.  <response>: 3 months off while actively looking for other jobsYou say this, but it doesnt seem like you are actually going to be looking for jobs any time soon. In some cases, an unhealthy work environment isnt worth staying if you can comfortable float yourself for a while, as long as the person knows what they want to do next. You admit you have no idea what you want to do though. Thats not a strong position to be quitting from. I think you have a deeper issue here, not just that you dislike your job. The worst case scenario is that you quit and either find a new job but still feel depressed or never find the motivation to get another job. I think you should see a therapist before doing something rash like this.
