I have been professionally diagnosed with major depressive disorder in March 2017 by a psychiatrist. I remember there was a time I had an appointment with my psychiatrist, and I collapsed on the floor in his corridor--I didn't attend his appointment. I was on the floor, with both legs bent, holding my other upper arm tightly and looking down completely crying. My doctor came to me as well as some nurses. The female nurse asked me whether I was feeling hurt and whether I need a teddy. My doctor asked whether I have taken Valium. He brought a cup of water to me as well. The entire incident had lasted for about an hour I guess. The doctor did not asked for fees. He was phoning my case manager and medical doctor team. I curled myself up completely, because I have been having a hard time facing my flashbacks of complex trauma.

I had a somewhat similar experience while in a group of people. The memory is vivid even to this day. I am so sorry that your depression and past traumas caused this. It sounds like people were understanding. I hope so!

The fact that he didn't ask for any fees speaks volumes about him. It sounds like he and his staff truly care about helping you. As I was reading this my fear was they were going to have you forcibly committed. I'm glad that did not happen. Even though this was a bad experience do you plan on continuing to see him?
