Yes, quit and it won't hurt, you'll find work in 6 months. You might even be able to get hired someplace before quitting, on the condition that your start date is six months from now.

You're probably burned out. If you use this time to do tech stuff, web surfing or playing video games, you'll be just as burned out at the end only you'll weigh a few pounds more.

My advice instead is to take a real vacation. Go to Thailand for 3 months, then go to Argentina or Brazil for another 3 months. Don't connect to the internet during this time except occasional emails back home to let them know you are alive. If you absolutely must, take your development laptop and work on things, but it's important to be disconnected. Having a laptop means you have to recharge it, find a stable source of electricity, etc. Things will work better without it.
