Quitting without having a job lined up?

My mental health has gone to shit over last few months. To the point where my physical health has been suffering. I just started interviewing but now realizing that it'll take a month or two to find something else. Would it be a bad idea to quit just to relax for a couple of months and come to the work force with a clear head? I know the market is shit now but I'm spiralling everyday.
