Lauran, maybe a therapy break wouldn't be such a bad idea, as long as you have someone you can talk to, if necessary, when you're feeling down and/or anxious. You'll probably know after a week or two if it's working.
I sort of felt that I was focusing more on my negative feelings when I was in therapy, which actually seemed to drain me. I spent so much more time dwelling on my thought patterns that I wondered if it didn't do more harm than good sometimes.
After I first stopped seeing my therapist I felt tremendous relief (especially financially), but started to miss having that crutch.
But maybe if you're either just on medications, or just seeing a therapist it could balance things out for you enough if dropping both seems too much.
