It's always bothered me that mental health resources for post-trauma (any trauma, not specifically rape) speak in general terms. "fatigue", "depression", "anxiety". Stuff anybody feeling them can easily rationalize as being caused by things other than the trauma

This makes it hard to get help, because not only are these things so generic that they don't aid in understanding, but if you go to sick call and, parroting the words off the mental health guide, say "I'm fatigued and anxious", you'll probably get told to sleep more/work out

(this has happened to me. I ended up at behavioral health for sleep issues and their advice was: generic counseling, working out, sleep hygiene. I was doing all of those things already).

The first article I've found that was in any way actually helpful for understanding the specific post-trauma reactions I had was the wiki entry on Rape Trauma Syndrome. It took intensive googling to stumble across something that actually explained what I dealt with 4 years ago

Even understanding the onset of trauma responses is a headache, because few hard-to-find resources actually break down what's going on in the acute and chronic stages of trauma response. Sásta's first major goal is to develop a specific and useful guide for rape trauma responses

This has been a work in progress, and will likely continue to be a work in progress for as long as Sásta exists! It's astonishing to me that, to date, nobody seems to have written a guide based on what actual survivors need to know to make actionable decisions from day one!
