I have the means to stay 6m away from work.
I never really took time between jobs. Maybe a week or so to take care of paperwork for the new job.

I'd tentatively suggest:
1. Significant time off. Use this time to rest, heal, exercise, and also to focus on dealing with any interrelated issues - such as depression. 2. Critically analyse your lifestyle - is there anything outside work that you're doing (or not doing) that's contributing to your apparent continual downwards direction? (Google 'Tignum book' - might give you starting point.) 3. Think about the job you really want, and what characteristics it should have? e.g. if regular/routine interactions with colleagues are a problem, would remote working, or night shifts, or a more solitary role, help?
