sar,
Feeling suicidal is not a very rational time in a person's mind and I know from my own experience that when I feel that way I simply don't know who I'm going to turn to, if I turn to anyone. I can understand your psych being disapointed that you didn't call her, but the anger over it is her problem. Anger is a part of everyday life, it's how we express it that matters. I think it was wrong for her to say that her anger was your fault.
As far as what you owe, if you don't feel that you've rec'd the treatment you expected, tell her. Perhaps you can get a reduced fee, or maybe have the fee dropped altogether. But either way, it sounds like time to find another doctor. You're definitely not comfortable with this one, especially if you feel like you have to drink before seeing her. Being at ease with your doc is of paramount importance.
Last, apologize for calling her a bitch. If you are anything like me you'll end up feeling guilty about it at sometime even if you don't feel that way now. And the last thing we need is unnecessary guilt...
I hope you feel better soon,
Greg
