Tell me to not quit my job, I’m in a good place but mentally drained

My job is objectivly good. My colleagues are nice, my manager is supportive, I work for a non-profit (healthcare) in the IT department.

If anyone suggests therapy: I've been on the waiting list since Febuary and will start my treatment next month.

Please tell me to not quit my job. I will regret it. I've finally found a place after two companies where I either had horrible colleagues (who yelled at me) or shitty management who expected constant output.
