Usually when we don't feel like doing something, we really NEED to do that. I sometimes try to push myself to do something I feel resistent to doing.

It might be that way because it is part of your school, perhaps (leaving therapy without talking about it or having another one lined up). The problem is if you want that "lifeline" again, you may not be able to get a convienent appointment after you stop. You might want to consider if this is something you really want. Is this something you won't need at a later date?

Therapy is like a lifeline that helps you to stay grounded, so you don't lose sight of your goals, objectives, priorities and the progress you have made so far. (I think without therapy you may slip further downhill, feeling more depressed than you do now.) If you stop therapy you might end up dropping out of your classes too. You might consider if you have someone you can talk to or check in with if you don't have a therapist anymore. Isolation is not a good thing but a lot of depressed people tend to isolate too much.

If you don't have anyone to talk to then you should carefully consider giving up therapy because you feel you don't want to do it anymore. You might feel so much better if you push yourself to do this because you will feel better for having gotten yourself out and done something about these feelings that you obviously have.

This is something you should really discuss at your next therapy session; why you feel so compelled to stop therapy.

You posted here on this topic for a reason. My guess is that you know on some level this is something that you need to talk to someone about or think about carefully. This site or other forums can not provide the same kind of one-on-one feedback that you get in a therapy session. You need to line up some substistute first before ending your sesssions.
