So I've more or less stopped going to therapy.
Now here's the problem: I've stopped my medication (I know how to wean myself off of them without going ballistic.)
I'm usually ok, but there are nights like tonight that I just get depressed.
And when I'm like this... I'm bad.

The rumination, the lack of energy, the overeating... It's horrible. I'm afraid to email my (ex)T. I just want this all to disappear- I want to forget this ever happened. Go back to the part of my life that made sense.

Dismantle, I hope you have someone there with you for support? Can I ask why you left therapy?

Can I ask what happened that you needed to stop both therapy and med around the same time? If you terminated well with your ex- T then yes reach out to exT.

It makes perfect sense that you would want to contact your T at this time. You tried something, it didn't work out, and you want to try something else. T can help and knows you already.

Do you want to say why you are afraid to contact your T?
Thanks for this!

Stoppping both therapy and meds, apparently without supervision, is generally a bad idea. Why are you do this? What's going on?

Uhm, we terminated therapy under reasonable circumstances. I don't know if there would ever be ideal circumstances to terminate a relationship (I've never been good with that). She just thought that therapy wasn't helping, and though I protested initially, as we went along, I realised that we had nothing to talk about. I don't want to reach out and have this happen again. I also am finally getting used to it, I just don't want to get close again and have to go through this again.

I stopped my medication because I started drinking again. I can't do both. Also because I just dno't want to do it anymore. The associated weight gain for someone like me (with the self esteem of.... well... soemone with no self esteem) is really not something I could handle. And on most days, I've seen no difference. I'm just worried about what'll happen when I start back working. So I don't want to talk to anyone about it until I can objectively judge for myself the difference. I learnt how to do that too, I think.
