I apologize for overreacting, since I was a victim of boundary crossing- I sometimes worry too much about other people.
As far as switching to a med/therp relationship- I did the same thing with my shrink. I wasn't comfortable enough to talk to him at first so we kept it essentially a med relationship, then when I felt more comfortable we switched over, it was no problem for him- just a call to my insurance to change from 20 min. sessions to 50 minute ones.
It's really difficult to keep depressive behavior under wraps, I'm sure your other docs pick up on it (they are trained to look for signs) and call your shrink out of concern.
good luck with your new therapeutic relationship- judy
