Is anyone else anxious, but you know you can't take a break off work because the economy isnt great? If you were to leave your workplace, it's no guarantee you can find another job.

You are not alone in this thought trust me. I sometimes do have that thoughts especially when i have a bad day at work or when work gets too stressful. It's good that you recognise this emotions, having that said I would gear myself up even more agressively in my finances.

Instead of the normal 6mths emergency funds, i will increase to 8-1 year. If your mental state is not right, take MC because your coy EOD don't care about your health. They only care abt performance and $$, so look after yourself FIRST!

I see 2 issues conflated here

1) your mental state isn't well and you need a break

2) you want to change a job

If it's the case that the job itself is causing you extreme stress and changing a job would help with your mental state, that's a very different thing from wanting to take a break from work even though you love your work. I think thinking about it separately and specifically would help
