Hi Heather -
The same thing happened to me (twice actually!) I was at the lowest point ever in my life, very actively suicidal, had to leave my job, no friends. I was desperately, desperately in need of psychiatric help. When I first started seeing this psychiatrist, I was depressed but things were holding together. So it's not like she just got some hysterical suicidal person in her office out of the blue one day (not that that should matter really).
And this #$*&! doctor did it in a registered letter. I had no car (which she knew) and I was very physically ill (knew that too). So I got one of those little slips in my mailbox one day, and had to drag myself to the post office to pick up a registered letter.
My family really came to my rescue, and my internist took over with the medications (I was on a benzo, so that would have been lovely to stop cold turkey!)
Today I have a pdoc that I'm comfortable with, but more importantly I've found a therapist I can really work with and open up to (after the one I'd been seeing for years dumped me via letter - right to my mailbox though).
I just wanted to let you know that there are others who have gone through this and understand your feelings.

p.s. I hope my "language" up there wasn't offensive!
