I think it's absolutely disgusting that the Doctor told you this.
But am i surprised?
No.
The NHS in the UK is going downhill in regards to the Mental Health Service.
I was told something similar back in November when i had a breakdown.
It shouldn't be a case of having to hear voices/being psychotic to be admitted. I think it's disgusting that people like yourself (and, admittedly - myself as well) shouldn't be treated the exact same as anyone else with a mental illness/depression.
I do not care if "the hospital(s) have limited places" - as far as i'm concerned, anyone who is seriously considering taking there own life should be kept out of harms way until they're in a stable enough condition to look after themselves.
I saw a psychiatrist around 3 months ago who laughed in my face (litrali) asking what i was doing there "wasting his time" because i was obviously not "hearing voices".
Despite the fact some people on here have recieved good care - the majority i have spoken to/read about in posts, have been treated appaulingly by the NHS mental health service.
This is why i get so worked up and have litrali given up on myself in regards to getting help because i have recieved nothing from the service even after practically begging for help.
I really sympathise with you hun, but let it be known you're not alone in your upset/confusion to the way you have been treated.
*Big huge hugs*
Please keep yourself safe hun
