Normally I'd say go for it. If it really is that bad, sometimes you just need to recover your mental health before you can begin to figure out what's next. Sounds like you have savings and are in a generally decent position to do so. Right now, though, with the current situation, it's not as clear-cut. Personally I'd be really nervous to have to navigate the job market within the next 6 months, or to be relying on my savings to eat when I could end up needing them for a big medical bill (though maybe the latter isn't a problem where you live). I would say: definitely quit. The question is whether or not to hold out for another few months. That's something I don't have an answer for. FWIW I did something very similar a few years ago. Quit my first job out of college, after a year and a half, because I hated it. My plan was to "freelance" which I didn't have much of a clear plan for. But I had savings, and I found a few odd jobs over the next 9 months, and while I ended up having to find a new "real" job, overall I was very glad to have gotten out of that first one.
