I couldn't do it. I wouldn't let her force me. She gave me her card and said to call IF I want another appointment.
I want to cut my arm into bloody ribbons. I'm sitting here with wallet in hand ready to go the the pharmacy and something made me sit and write this.
I really don't think I cn get better ever, I feel sl bad and I just watn it to stop.

I don't see how asking if you want to continue is forcing you into anything. She is leaving the decision up to you. The 4 sessions you promised were done. The natural thing to ask is if you want another session, or whether you are done.
Have you thought about what other possible responses she might have had that would have made you feel better? What did you want to hear from her? If she had said, "I hope you continue" that could have been construed as urging, or pressuring you to continue. See if you can figure out what you wanted to hear from her. That may make you feel better.
Anyway, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad about this. Lots of safe hugs to you .....
