My doctor referred me for counselling at the end of February. He said I would hear off them directly and all correspondence would now be with them and not my doctors surgery. It’s been 8 months now and I haven’t heard anything off them.
I’m not say I have this condition (I know having some of the symptoms doesn’t always mean you have it), but reading about CPTSD really is like reading about how I feel/how I act. In general, I’m now a lot happier since I saw my GP 8 months ago, however I still suffer with flashbacks. They have definitely not gone away. And waiting so long for counselling really doesn’t help during those times either.
I know the pandemic obviously plays a part in this, but I really thought I would’ve had at least some acknowledgement off them 😕 When I’m good, I am really good. It’s just when I’m bad it’s really scary and wish I had that support I reached out for.
