Take away from therapy

So I finally had an assessment after almost a year of waiting and what I thought was therapy today was infact an assessment for what therapy I will eventually get in what could be ANOTHER year!.It was extremely stressful for a number of reasons.The therapist was very nice and I was very open about how things are,what the problems are and What I need to achieve in order to live basically.She tried to give me the help and answers but unfortunately as I suspected hasnt got them.And although did suggest a couple of different therapies ( which ive had for years before) .I feel pretty despondent especially when she actually said at one point she felt I had Adhd. This I know I most definitely do not have ( something my son does have,and something I've spent almost 10 years reading up on and actually living with and through with him).So I know enough to recognise the symptoms.I think she reached this conclusion by ( at some stages my fast speed of conversation) and perhaps movement in my chair.This was because I wanted to convey everything quickly in the small time frame I had in that appointment.I imagine the patients they normally get range with depression,rape,coercive control,suicide,self harm,abandonment,etc not to the depths that I went to which is why I think even for a mental health professional with years if practice under their belt ( which she hasnt).How do books theory or even practise prepare to help living situations and crisis when they present like this in order for the person to continue to live and not lose their sense of reality?.The answer is they can't.I knew if I was pushed to continue without answers I would/could be sectioned.she could not offer a reply or an explanation.But I said this would mean my son would be put into care as there is nobody else to look after him and this us what has led me here.For help .
