Yeah, I agree with the others, your 'explosion' was probably a blessing in disguise. It can take so long to get a doctor to understand what you're going through. When I see my therapist the only thing I can say is that "I've been up and down" but she really doesn't SEE it, but your doctor has seen it now and knows what you're dealing with.

And don't worry about your doctor thinking you're crazy. He's a doctor so he'll understand this stuff more than the average person.

Now your doctor is aware of the sitation hopefully the right steps will be taken to help you. Has he referred you to a psychologist like your SW suggested?
