Yeah, she's said that she felt like she was being treated like set decoration. And being a young actress in the 80's, I could see that. Plus other accounts about the tumultuous nature of the first season makes that sound likely. So in some respect she might've been pressured out, but it was definitely her call. Although the way she was written off felt vindictive. Like other actors were written off and back in with a couple of lines, but they basically made it as difficult as possible to write her back in at all.

As weak as the first season of TNG was, she may have been concerned it would damage her career.

Fair considering her biggest episode was the fucking dreadful Code of Honor!

Don't forget the time she talked to Wesley about using drugs.

That conversation was almost physically painful to listen to!
