Lovecraft's protagonists don't actually break down the way popular culture often portrays them as doing - that's mostly an artifact of the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying games, honestly. CoC ends with the heroes ramming Cthulhu with a boat; Dunswich has the protagonists actually win; Innsmouth has a "classically" downer Lovecraftian ending, but only after the FBI has shelled out the town.

Put another way, Lovecraftian protagonists meet the "The universe is inimical to human life and understanding" problem in a variety of ways, and "my sanity is utterly shattered" isn't actually very common. "I persevered in the face of overwhelming odds in spite of it", "I now know too much, and the knowledge is gnawing away at me - I see threats in every shadow", "this whole time I've been a part of this", and so on.
