Terrible that you weren't able to see your regular doc and the one you saw seemed so dismissive of what you're dealing with @Confused1. Maybe she was busy & saw you as just a 'one off' type of thing & didn't want the responsibility of maybe making a new diagnosis. But you deserved to be treated a little better - even if was just her saying that it really something she couldn't do much with in a single session & just doing something to help until you see your own doc.
On the bright side, congrats on having the courage to open up to someone different. It really shows that you have accepted your situation & are willing to look for & take any help you can find because you recognise you need it. While the result wasn't what we were all hoping for, you are getting somewhere by doing things to try & help yourself. Very happy you did this!
I hope you can get in & see your normal doc soon, might make a huge difference for you.
Great that you got in to see the psychologist so quick! Reminds me of when I was given a new one around the corner from my doc so I decided to walk there & make an appointment. Just happened he had a cancellation & could see me half an hour later when I really needed it. I hope you feel comfortable enough to be as open with them as you were today.
But that's tomorrow and I really want to make sure you're safe & can manage your way through until then. I know this isn't the best way to try & support you, so slow & impersonal but it's all we have so don't be afraid to ask anything here. Me & others will be here to help you through. And if you need something more immediate never forget Lifeline is there too.
Take care of yourself, and maybe a few hugs from the kids will help if they're willing.
