I'm so angry

#1
Only people here will understand.

Earlier this month, the trauma therapist I was seeing gave away my personal information such as my name, phone number, etc. as well as my trauma and mental health history to some clinic for a residential program.

She did this without my consent. She even did this after I told her in one of our previous sessions about the sexual abuse I had to endure from a security guard when I had to stay in a mental health facility as a teenager. She knew that I would never stay at a facility or hospital again. She even told me in writing that this referral she sent me was voluntary. There was no concern of threat to my life or anyone else's. Then these people started texting me and trying to call me at 7 PM at night.

So yes. Only people on this site will understand how this type of violation makes a person feel. The only reason I found out she did this was because these random people were texting me about my personal and private mental health struggles. None of their fucking business.

I told them that I filed a HIPAA complaint against them and cancelled my appointments.

Now they keep calling, texting, sending portal messages, emails, and even paper mail to me. They keep harassing and just won't leave me alone. They don't get the message. How does a mental health clinic with a trauma specialist not understand what they are doing to a person with such extensive traumatic history

I just got another letter in my mailbox. I got so pissed off that I just went off on them in a portal message. Whether or not they leave me alone.... they most likely won't. Clearly, the goal of healthcare is to threaten and make a patient look bad in order to cover up what they have done wrong themselves and get away with it. I told them exactly this. That they are not going to make me into some noncompliant appearing patient to invalidate their violation.

Trigger warning





It feels like psychological/emotional rape then continuing to be harassed by the rapists. That's the only way I can describe it. They make me feel so suicidal. I want to kill myself every time I have to deal with them now. It reminds me of what they have done and the opportunities for healing that they took away from me. Just makes me want to get off this shit hole of a planet. Humans really should never have existed.

This is fucking crazy, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through these people deserve to go to hell. You should keep all evidence for what they did and sue them. I really hope you get a way out. I already struggle to see a professional bc I don’t trust anybody and I feel like they abuse and keep us sick mentally in a way for money… I wish you the best

I know the complaint will be ignored. But I did it so that so least there's documentation filed for the future patients who are violated and end up hurt. Proves a pattern and may help get them shut down.
Having a documented paper trail is a huge plus move especially if the behavior is repeated.

I think these people must function on one shared brain cell to think that they can continue to traumatize their patients to keep their business.

There definitely are a ton of psychopaths who abuse their position and power.

My honest opinion based on my experience is that psychiatry is just primitive compared to other med specialties. There are hardly any real treatment options for the rare few doctors who aren't psychopaths. There has been too much ignorant bias and stigma for mental health for the field to develop. So, you're stuck with genuine options that are too expensive because they're too new, not enough psychiatrists, appointments that are too expensive, drugs that need other drugs to relieve the side effects, drugs that have debilitating withdrawals for months, diagnoses that should be in the DSM but get treated under something else instead for insurance to cover it.... all that to say I hear you and this shit that happened to me doesn't help.
