Yes: A GP is a great place to start for a general physical exam and wellness profile. S/he can also direct your care with appropriate referrals and can over see any medications that might be prescribed. Best wishes!

Yes: I am glad you are opening up to someone and starting the process of healing. Your doctor may help with finding the resources you need to get on the road of recovery, You will probably need a counselor, probably a psychiatrist and may need other resources as well
