There are a lot of reasons I go to therapy. I find it very helpful. For one, my therapist is an outside viewer who can help me sort out what's "me" and what's bipolar, which is something I struggle with. She also helps me identify my own behaviors that may be contributing to my depression (or hypomania) and helps me change them in a positive way. She's also really great just to talk to when I'm feeling stressed, she's logical and good at being objective.

I go every other week. Sometimes I wish I could go every week because I feel like I have so much to talk about, but I think going every week would make me too dependent on therapy and I don't want that.

I think it would be a good idea for you to maybe try it out again! You don't have to make a committment to anyone.
