Hi H,
I am so sorry I can't offer more support at the moment but please know that I am thinking of you.
I was in a pretty similar situation a few years ago. Part of me didn't want to tell my GP and part of me realised in order to get the right support, I had to tell her. I ended up telling her, in a letter, about the past; it was still ever so difficult but it helped a lot. She was so understanding and said given my history, she wasn't surprised in anyway. Yes it's on my records but it's totally confidential. If I have to see another GP as an emergency appointment, they will never bring it up which is good. I do feel it's important for your GP to know but I understand this is a very big step and often takes time.
My thoughts are with you.
