I'm asking for process/precedure guidance only please. NOT diagnosis or support.
I likely have PTSD. Bad experience was some years ago, but triggers still either see me 'go down the tunnel' believing I'm back there re-living it all or I curl up in a ball on the floor screaming "I'm not going back there" over and over. I've never hurt anyone or hurt myself whilst in this state.
I do okay. I get on with my days. Triggers are few and far between, but it's been 5 years and I need to get better control on this.
I'm scared to speak to my GP, as the root trauma is health related, but I intend to try.
I'd be really grateful if anyone could tell me what process the GP is likely to follow please. I appreciate waiting lists are enormously long, and there will be local variations in processes, but is there a fairly standard process? Maybe start with online CBT or similar?
Thank you for your help.
