Do it!

I was in your situation in 2023 and decided to quit without a job lined up. I rested for 2 months and then, out of nowhere, I had energy and motivation to start exercising again and start working on my mental health (with the help of a therapist/professional coach). I would recommend to have one single expectation if you decide to quit: rest.

All in all, quitting the toxic workplace and taking time off was the best thing I’ve ever done.

It took me 7 months to get an offer, 9 to actually start working.

Be prepared to be out of work for ~1 year.
