Not feeling validated by a doctor is very very hard. It happens a lot actually and it is bullcrap and it makes me really mad. I had suicidal depression in a psychotic episode last year that lasted months. It got so bad I could not take it another day and I told my Pdoc I wanted to kill myself, that I had it planned and how I would do it.. and that I was scared that I would and I wanted help. He told me most suicides are impulsive... end of story and I never went back. I kind of thought he would contact me like a policy for suicidal patients... but he never did and I lost all hope in the mental health care system. That is just me, and I am a huge baby... you need to vocalize your feelings, tell your doc you are feeling like you aren't being taken seriously, and you would appreciate it they could, for that is what you pay them for. If this is not what you are talking about I am really sorry, it just reminded me of my pdoc and our situation. I hope you can resolve it with them or maybe reach out to a new one? I know that can be stressful too though. Let us know hon
