Perhaps taking time off from work would be beneficial for you, but I quit my job over a year ago in a temper because of stress, anxiety and personal frustrations.  I had always figured my job contributed significantly to my anxiety and depression because I would experience such stress there.  Now that my savings are essentially gone, I'm facing the fact of finding a new job and experiencing a severe emotional set-back.  Being away from work just allowed me to avoid my anxiety more which always makes it worse ultimately.  In conclusion, I wish I'd never quit my job and it seems to have done nothing to allow me to heal nervously which is very hard for me to believe.  I was sure it would benefit me.  Just my story to consider.
