Glad you could let it out!!!
It would be frustrating if that's all you were asked! Depression is such a 'shades of gray' disease - it's not just about either feeling suicidal or not.
I had the opposite problem with my former pdoc, however - he NEVER ONCE asked if I was suicidal. He wanted me to undergo ECT, but he had NEVER ONCE asked if I wanted to either hurt myself or end it all. He never even alluded to it. Hmmm....
'Course, I think he was sleeping through most of our sessions, though, so...
