Your county or city may have free Mental Health counseling.I'm also fairly certain I have PTSD. I haven't gotten a chance to see a therapist because I'm financially dependent on my parents. Furthermore, the waitlist for my University counseling centers extends into July. I am on the waitlist but I'll only be able to see a therapist in the summer time at the earliest. Thank you for your kind words, it really makes a differences <3
Your HMO should give you access to a 24-hour mental health hotlineYour county or city may have free Mental Health counseling.
Also since you have health insurance through your parents, you're not obligated to go through your parents to get to see a counselor. Although from my own experience, in an HMO they put mental health down at the very bottom of priorities,
Eh, I don’t want to derail this thread away from OP’s specific case but you have a very warped sense of how sexual assault cases work if you think this is as simple as “he should be in jail” while also implying that OP or anyone wants to report SA by default. Every case is different so I would be careful giving binary advice like you have done here.I‘m with with everyone on this forum that it’s a horrible thing you went through and I hope nothing like this happens to anyone. With that being said:
1. He should actually be in jail. I’m sure you looked up how to report sexual assault already. Pull the trigger and get closure.
2. Stop what you’re doing or planning to do and take a gap semester to focus on healing your mind and body. Med school won’t go anywhere while you rest!
3. I don’t know how you have LM score without an MCAT score, but your MCAT and clinical experience will be crucial for admissions. Again, no need to rush cuz med school won’t go anywhere.
I understand what you’re saying, and I admit that I shouldve phrased it more carefully. He should be in jail.
