My pdoc once read me the riot act about keeping to a safety contract if I wanted to work with him, so I think it is not that unusual, what you are reporting. But what makes me uncomfortable is that you say that your doc first talked you out of going to the the hospital when you felt you needed it, then stops working with you after you make an attempt.
Is he referring you to services that are more suitable for the level of need you have? That is what my therapist had said he would do if I couldn't be honest with him about my safety. He was talking about hospitalization and possibly day treatment, ie, more structure than just outpatient therapy.
I'm glad you changed your mind and decided to live. You sound like you do need more support and structure now to get you through this very rough time.
