Over three years ago I underwent the ICSA Child sex abuse enquiry about a serious sexual assault. I was told that I needed appropriate care and to be assessed for PTSD for rape. I came back and went to my GP as this was the gateway to the care I needed. Months later still nothing. I complained that nothing had been done to the board and was promptly seen by a psychiatrist who told me that as a charity that specialised in rape counselling had been involved and had offered me care if I hadn’t received any from the trust That I should stick with that. I told them that I couldn’t access this for months and still nothing was offered.
I got very ill and had new symptoms of hallucinations and blackouts so back to the go. The early intervention team saw me quickly And assessed me deciding I wasn’t psychotic but undergoing extreme distress and stress. I agreed with this. I received a care coordinator and only recently a junior psychologist obviously only by telephone due to covid. No assessment for PTSD even though this was what I’ve requested throughout. Still have blackouts still have hallucinations and no assessment no specialist treatment. I’m sick of begging for the care I need.
