Want to have a break from school

Hello I(21M) just want to know that I doing a good thing for myself. I’m planning on taking one to two semesters off. I have been in school for 3 years with like one to more years left. Since I was 13, I have been living with depression so bad I show no emotion. I can’t stay awake for too long before falling asleep. My mental health is completely trashed to the point that even if I graduated I would feel nothing. Also I have never really had any friends, my life has been just school-home-howework then sleep. So is it a good thing for me to take a break and actually have a life instead of feeling empty all the time?
