a true gooner

Right let's start from the beginning shall we.
On the 6th July I was in my garden vaping and I saw this Bat flying really low right towards me, so I ducked and ran underneath it and as I did I felt a weird sensation.
The following morning my back started throbbing with pain so I went to see my GP and they had a look at my back, and said I was fine.
The day after that I went to see another GP and they also said I was ok because they didn't see a bite mark.
About two weeks later I started getting really bad headaches that lasted for a few days (probably tension or a migraine) after that my anxiety subsided and about a week after that I went to see family in Cardiff.
After I came back I developed a cold (sore throat, runny nose, sneezing) and this is where my anxiety went off the rails.
I started not sleeping and eating, I would only eat a bit and sleep every other day, sometimes my anxiety would get so bad I'd start freaking out, crying, smacking myself in the head and telling my parents to phone me an ambulance like a mini breakdown, this has been going on for a few weeks now.
I also went to the hospital last week because my anxiety was so intense (got a train) when I got there, I told them about the possible bite on my back and they didn't believe me so decided to book me in to see the GP over the hospital for my anxiety instead, I had to wait 2 hours to see the GP and they didn't believe me.
I asked about the vaccine but she said "It needs to be taken within 24 hours but it's been over a month now, so it's too late" It just felt like she didn't want to listen because I then said "As long as it's before symptoms it's fine" but she didn't agree so I went home.
On Monday (14th August) I was walking outside my house because we have this field at the back of my house with a basketball court and houses on the side and this was at 9pm I believe.
I knew there were bats about because there's a railway bank behind my house near the field with loads of tree's, so I'm guessing that's where the bats came from.
Anyway while I was walking up the path I felt a weird sensation on my head and now I also keep thinking I was also bit on the head.
I keep thinking I have rabies and it feels no one listens to me because my family, and all the GPs I've seen won't listen to me or aren't educated enough on bat bites because everyone I've seen including my family and paramedics have said "if there's no marks there's no bite" which isn't true.
No matter who I see they won't listen to me and keep blaming it on my anxiety, I just feel trapped.
I told my parents about the vaccine too and they said "You don't have rabies, if you have the vaccine it'll make you ill because it'll have nothing to fight since you don't have it" which isn't true, but no one listens to me and it's gotten to that point where I'm out of options.
I've done everything I can do and no one believes and listens to me. I feel like a sinking ship with no hope, I don't know if it's just my imagination or there really is something wrong.
I keep thinking I'm gonna be EBLV 2 victim number 2 here in the UK. I really do hope it's just me being a hypochondriac because I've been anxious about my health before but never this bad.
I keep thinking I really do have it but people keep saying it's just my anxiety, but I know rabies also causing anxiety which really freaks me out because I don't know what's happening.
I had the paramedic out last night because I had another mini breakdown even though I was feeling fine for two days and she said you have the rabies jab when you're born along with the other jabs, which isn't true but she wouldn't listen.
It just seems people aren't really educated on rabies or bat bites here in the UK or where I live anyway in Hampshire, which makes me feel even more scared that people either won't believe me or aren't educated on the matter.
I don't know what to do I need some serious help because I'm literally on edge at the moment, I've never been this bad even when I thought I had lung cancer quite a few months back.
