AtreyuFreak,
Thank you for your post. It helps to be reminded that doctors have real lives too. I was just very limited in what I said, just that I had been attacked. No details or information. It makes it harder to disclose what happened when these types of situations happen. Even if it is about them and not about me. It feels like rejection.
After I was first attacked I tried to get help. But everyone just brushed it off as if nothing had happened. I had to keep telling what had happened. I thought that someone would help me, but no one did. I was literally told by school officials (I was attacked at school) to just go back to class. So I feel rejection especially intensely since I knew I could never depend on my abusive parents. I have to look to others. You're supposed to be able to trust your doctor. I know she never read the intake report because I filled out that I had been attacked in the paperwork. But it didn't make it into my medical records until I saw the NP. The NP was supportive.
