I was physically and sexually assaulted a month or so ago, I am finding the sexual assault more difficult to deal with and it's clear I have some signs of PTSD.
I spoke to my GP early on who advised seeing how I felt in a couple of weeks, went back in a couple of weeks and spoke to a different GP, who offered nothing useful and talked about meds, I'm not opposed to meds but feel I need to try possibly counselling or similar first?
I have tried to access other services but they are either not talking referrals until later in the year or can't help due to the nature of the assault.
I am at a loss what to do, should I contact the GP's again, Im sure I would see someone different as a large practice. But can they help in any way? Even just talking about what happened to someone I think would be helpful, but the last couple of times they haven't really asked many details.
I have looked for local support groups but can't see anything, it just all leads back to the service that isn't taking referrals.
If anyone could help or has any advice I would be very grateful.
