Talk to your manager, if you're planning on leaving regardless what difference would it make if you asked for an extended period of time off?

Besides that maybe think about creating a small business, be a freelancer, or develop a product or service that people want to use.

I feel like we're in similar boats longing for something else, lately I've been questioning my position but I've been here for quite some time and find it very difficult to leave the luxury I have.
