Have you ever being suicidal during this time and sought help?

Yeah, that sounds really weird. In 2hrs, he took you off your meds and gave you essentially a sleeping aid? The sexuality question seems really inappropriate and odd to me. I think you should make a complaint, get someone to help you if you're not feeling up to doing it yourself.

I did have an attempt the other year and went to the hospital, hoping to be checked-in somewhere. The doctor just kind of dismissed me and that what I had taken wouldn't have killed me and I was given five sessions with a psychiatrist to figure out 'what was wrong with me'. She diagnosed me with Avoidant Personality Disorder.....another misdiagnosis to add to the list. I don't live in my home country and I think they just don't handle mental illness very well, me and my husband were disappointed with the help. Oh, and also had two old women visit me in my home and they said things like 'you have a lovely house, you should be happy'. That's not how things work!! I had also tried previously in my home country and I asked to be committed, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong and just put it down to teenage angst. Luckily, my doctor changed last year and he has been very understanding and helpful, we just go through the process of trying out different meds to see which works and I see him every few weeks.

I think the way you were treated was not acceptable, apart from the inappropriate sexual questions, he medicated and diagnosed you in the blink of an eye. You deserve better. A good thing to do is get a period tracker app and note your symptoms, so then you have something to show the doctor. My gynecologist wasn't helpful, but I found my general practioner to be, I think it's different for everyone....therapist, GP, gyno...you just need one that understands and listens. Good luck and yes, in my opinion your treatment was not acceptable and you have good reason to complain.
