Should I stay or should I go?

I'll keep this brief MN.
Have been in the same job for 3 years, the same organization for 5 years & I'm absolutely exhausted by it.
Mentally drained. It has started to impact my personal life as very stressful & it's been extremely challenging this year, have been managing a difficult team with 2 colleagues who are extremely hard to manage, I have applied for a lot of jobs recently. I often sleep badly, recently feel physically sick at the thought of going to work.
Have been confiding in a friend and he told he tonight he can see how miserable & anxious I am about work.
He's just offered to lend me 3 months wages so I can hand in my notice.
I am blown away.
Have applied for a few jobs recently, waiting to hear, feel like this has given me the financial safety net I need to have the courage to leave. I need to give 6 weeks notice but this will give me time to find a job/some light at the end of the tunnel.
Might not even need the money. But it's there.
I have a 7 year old & am a single mum, I feel like life's too short to not take this opportunity.
Has anyone ever done similar & not regretted it?
I feel like I should just do it.
Would you? Flowers

As long as you get the promised money upfront. Then go for it.

@itsmylife7 thanks & yes, they just gave me a cheque. When you hear someone who knows you so well saying they can see the impact & that I am physically & mentally different when I talk about work (not in a good way) I'm pretty worried.

Wellbif you're 100% that the cheque won't bounce then give your notice in ASAP... and good luck.
