| Body | Genuine question here lads, I'm a 33yo male. I have decided to ask my GP for mental health support and possibly even, eventually, medication. I have done CBT in the past but was very selective with what I shared.
I grew up in a really emotionally and physically violent household and I'm starting to think I have some form of PTSD from it, as even now I cannot shake my nightmares or thoughts for even a single day.
I have always been to scared to ask for help because it gets really rather dark.
Can anyone give me some advice how to broach the topic with my GP such that I will get help from a specialist in the field of childhood trauma, but without being thrown in an asylum...
I would much rather this not be documented on my medical record, but I don't know if that's even possible...
Thank you. |
