If this was me I would be calling the counselor saying what's the hold up on transferring to the psychiatrist. many people see a therapist and a psychiatrist so there shouldn't be a problem of the counselor still seeing you during the transition process. in fact USA therapists go through the transition process WITH their clients not leave them hanging. They help them choose a few and then go with them to check them out and then the present therapist attends some sessions with the client with the professional of choice a few times to make sure the two are a match.

There is also many crsis centers and hot lines you can call when you get like this so you don't have to go through this alone and also the next time it gets this severe you may want to consider ER help. that way you don't accidentally injure yourself in trying to fight your way through it alone.
