take my 75 year old mom and see the world, idk at this point what will fix me?
I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of taking a year off, having no income then spending $50-70K to travel with my mom, spend time on myself and family. Cause it takes so long to save $50-70K. But if I am dying, I need to do it

Financial health is a big driver of mental health. Same with work health.
I've brought this up before and it bears to bring it up again, I was depressed and on the verge of committing suicide. A life changing job change suddenly turned that dark hole I was in to a bright and cheerful place.
I went from a depressing toxic workplace full of politics to an office that appreciated everyone. I no longer had a 5 day commute through slogging traffic instead I had a hybrid schedule where I could take the train to work. Work is something you spend the majority of your life doing and if it's a terrible slog or toxic it's going to affect you tons.
The second part is the new job paid more, we are talking about 64% more pay. I went from paycheque to paycheque to being able to actually safe money, and splurge a little here or there on life's luxuries.
