Is it okay to take a few months off between jobs?

I don't think I'm a bad employee. I started working at 18 in nightclub environments, until finding a more hour friendly job at a well known fast food chain whilst at university. I stayed there for a few years after my degree, i suppose initially enjoying being able to play with a store in sandbox mode and commit to it. but eventually it wore me down, and i left I was unemployed for 3 months after this. I didn't leave the job because I had something lined up, i was just done. And I got lucky enough it was close enough to my graduation I could pitch myself as a “new grad” Now, 4 years later, at 27, I find myself at this point again at my new job. I could write paragraphs on how awful my boss is. But personally, I don't like to look for things while employed,…

I was unemployed for 3 months after this. I didn't leave the job because I had something lined up, i was just done. And I got lucky enough it was close enough to my graduation I could pitch myself as a “new grad”

Now, 4 years later, at 27, I find myself at this point again at my new job. I could write paragraphs on how awful my boss is. But personally, I don't like to look for things while employed, and more importantly..i am fucking exhausted.

I would love to take another break but i dont want it to negatively impact my credit, future mortgage applications, future employment prospects, etc. so i guess i'm asking, how bad would it be if i did take a month or two off?
