I know why you are doing this. I don't blame you one bit. I think you should take a break but not completely give up.
Max Ehrmann said this in a poem [I had to memorize in English] called Desiderata:
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
