My psychiatrist asked me a question that left me completely overthinking. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi everyone,

I recently went to see a psychiatrist for the first time in my life. What completely shocked me is that he asked me the exact same question three times during the assessment and even asked my mom the same thing.

He looked very serious and said: "How didn’t you ask for any help from anyone during this entire past period?"

In the next session, when I disclosed a physical memory of old trauma, his facial expressions changed. He became very quiet, completely stopped smiling, and said my case requires intensive talk therapy sessions immediately. He even rushed the hospital management to approve 5 intensive sessions for me this month before I travel.

I can’t stop scanning his face, overthinking his reactions, his lack of smiles, and his question about how I survived alone.

Did he ask because he saw me as a strong person, or is my case truly a hopeless one? Has anyone’s psychiatrist or therapist ever said something similar to them? How did it make you feel?
