Leighe glad you got your visit in. Leed's advice is spot on for two reasons: 1.) documenting and reporting these kinds of incidents are the only way to improve services. System can't fix itself if it don't know it's broke and 2.) When we take these kinds of measures, we feel more empowered and better about ourselves.
Regarding trust...and please bear in mind this is my own personal view...It' not so much a question of whether to trust, but who to trust. And yes, I occasionally mistakenly trust the wrong person. When it comes down to it though...I know the person I must rely on most is myself. There are no white knights and all that.
The other thing to remember...when someone does let you down, very often it has nothing to do with you. It’s not personal. While it affects you..sometimes in a very big way...it’s more about their own issues they have going on. Don't let peoples short comings with regard to you make your feel unimportant and undervalued.
I hope you get settled in well and find some support and a few trustworthy folks.
Best
