I decided to downsize my life by selling a relatively expensive car and my condo and see how long I can go without working.

I have no desire to go back to frontend development even though I can make way more doing that than anything else.

I'm hoping in a year or so I'll be ready to get back into tech, but right now I have no desire to. So much of the industry just seems toxic to my mental health.

Same problem here. It doesn’t get better in my experience, the more you stay away the less you want to go back in. Over the last 15 years I estime I’ve worked 50% overall. This time I haven’t been working for over 2 years.
