People’s Experience Taking a Break from Working

So, to provide some context. I am going through a lot mentally and I work at a job that is mentally taxing (behavioral health) I love helping people and supporting clients but between personal health reasons and the fact the organizing/management of the company is really all over the place (plus someone was fatally injured on the job) I am considering quitting and taking a month off work. Has anyone done this? I should note, my partner is on board and helping with the bills and wants me to feel safe and get better. Obviously this isn’t a permanent solution. I was curious if anyone has done this and how they felt about it?
