Hi everyone, so I had my very first psychiatrist appointment yesterday after years of thinking about booking one. My family is not that open about these stuff so I decided to go alone and in secret. I'm going to omit some details for privacy.

I have suspected for a while that my symptoms were pointing to bpd and/or depression, but did not mention these diagnoses as I wanted to know about what my psychiatrist had to say. I just talked about my symptoms, struggles and such. I did not get diagnosed (but did get "depressive symptoms" in my med cert) and was recommended to do some activities and to follow up in a few weeks. ​​ My psychiatrist was really nice and helpful, and made me realize things that I never thought about at all. I'm thinking about maybe booking another session once I've saved up. However, now that I've been by myself many hours later I feel kind of empty, sad, and even guilty, and I can't exactly pinpoint why. Is this normal?
