An OT can not diagnose you, so all they can talk about is conjecture (i.e possibilities which will help guide what type of treatment or therapy they may offer you).
Only a Dr and/or a Psychiatrist can diagnose you. Your GP was right to call the OT, as they should not give you such confusing and worrying conjecture.
Please do ask to speak to a Psychiatrist, as they can help put you at ease with regards to any diagnosis, or what stage they are at in obtaining one and whether or not it may involve hospital - To be fair, they only usually involve Hospital as a last resort, so they will most likely look to help you as Outpatient first. Do speak to them about it though.
