Stop breastfeeding?

Anyone stopped breastfeeding at 4-5m postpartum? I've always been a just-enough supply mum and my supply dropped tremendously recently. I'm 4.5m post partum and find it stressful and tiring to continue. But i also feel guilty for wanting to stop. Not sure if I should take this "opportunity" to slowly stop breastfeeding? Just want to hear from fellow mums on their dilemma and what is the eventual choice taken.

I chose my mental health and well being. It was taking a toll on me, especially as a ftm. I was crying every single day. I then decide to hosp to get the medication to stop my milk production, cabergoline. Only 2 tablets needed. I am way happier now and i did not regret my decision altho some people told me i gave up too early and pity my son. Even the KKH nurse, lactation consultant said that to me (‘: My son needed a happy mom. And i needed to be healthy to take care of my baby.
