There is no life long fix when it comes to Therapy and mental illness. Sure there are times someone could stop Therapy if they are doing well but then something happens or our mental illness's just reaches up and slap the snot out of us for no apparent reason.

What are you working on in Therapy ? Learning to accept you need medications to enjoy life and stay present

Learning new coping skills?

There literally is a million reasons that we can keep growing and understanding ourselves in Therapy?

My Advice is stop being worried that someone else needs the Therapist "more" than you. You have decided to go on the shot and I think over a few months its going to be something that you will start to feel better, which will allow you to progress in Therapy and find ways to improve life. Stop trying to talk yourself out of getting help.
