Unfortunately mental health services are a horrible mess in our country. That doesn't make the way you were treated right though and I would bring it up with your psychiatrist tomorrow.
I unfortunately had a similar experience with a lady who told me I was absolutely fine and I should have called my GP instead rather than the local CMHT. Two weeks later I had seriously overspent, been in trouble with the police, not slept for more than two hours a night and marched over to the local hospital where I managed to avoid getting sectioned under the mental health act by the absolute skin of my teeth all because a reception worker tried to play psychiatrist.
Thankfully things have improved a little. I hope they do for you also.
