    Our circumstances are different, but it sounds like what you need is what I needed.

    It took me about 16 years to find support, and when I did it was through a charity for sex workers. Even then it took three different therapists to find one who I felt I could trust, and when I did all the rubbish I held inside came pouring out. It didn’t fix it, but it meant I could start fixing it.

    Since you’re in the healthcare equivalent of the wasteland in Mad Max, maybe the place to look is in mutual aid … support groups and charities. Just gotta watch out for the religious types poisoning the well.

    If you want you can DM me, and I’m happy to chat over Matrix or WhatsApp. I’m no therapist, but I’ve been through similar shit.
