I had a similar situation about seven years ago. The company I worked for took a major down turn after it was bought by a VC group and the job became so stressful and disheartening I decided to quit.
I was lucky though my wife has an excellent job with great benefits so I decided to become a stay-at-home Dad for a while. I had plans for going back to work but after taking several years off and getting older I had a really hard time finding a job. Like mentioned before the "ageism" thing is real and I had to parse down my resume just to get an interview.
Finally, I just decided to retire early and stick with being a stay-at-home Dad. I don't know how long you have until retirement but if it is less <5 years it might be best to suck it up and deal. If not, definitely a have job lined up before you quit your current job.
Good Luck! I feel for you.
