Hey there. I really want to caution you on quitting therapy because from what you said above, it sounds like you have a lot going on and it is taking a toll on you as far as your mood and outlook. Just the fact that you stated "everything is so pointless" leads me to think you might be feeling depressed... and I know when I'm depressed and hopeless everything does seem pointless, including therapy-- but the reason I don't give up is because I know that my view is being seriously skewed by my mood. In fact, feeling like you are out of coping mechanisms is all the more reason to stay in therapy-- if you leave, then you are dropping one more coping mechanism.

Remember, your therapy sessions are yours. Go ahead and bring it back to you-- you can take control of your sessions, letting your T know that there are things you need to talk about. Maybe start out with letting her know that she is stressing out or that you feel stuck.
