Struggling to Get Consistent PTSD Therapy

Hi there. Has anyone on this list had an issue getting consistent PSTD therapy? My issue is that I make appointments to the doctor and therapist, but I end up doing one of three things. I forget the appointment entirely, forget to talk about the sexual abuse ptsd entirely, or can't remember any details when I do bring it up. A diagnosis and some real help would be fantastic. I've been told I have the textbook symptoms of ptsd, but the doctors and therapist always say they need more data for the full diagnosis and treatment. That doesn't work well when I can't seem to give them the data 🙃. What do I do?

This is a tough one. I also struggle to get a ptsd diagnosis, and I’m with you on not being able to give details because I was drugged and unconscious when it happened, I don’t have the slightest memory of it happening, only the events leading up to me passing out. I honestly don’t know of this is helpful, but maybe if possible look online for any psychological evaluations for getting a ptsd diagnosis, and who conducts those types of evaluations, and if you can find a means of having it done. I unfortunately have really bad healthcare so that’s pretty much impossible for me, but even if you don’t think you could, don’t let that prevent you from at least looking into it and being absolutely sure if it’s possible for you.
