Yes, I agree your age is very significant (though the demeanor & actions of these people was so outrageous regardless) & also did you SIGN any forms that allowed them to talk to your parents or others if you are of legal age, perhaps without realizing it (another thing to pursue if you were misled or badgered into signing something).
I would definitely contact NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) to see if they can get someone to advocate for you.
If you are a danger to yourself or others, this surpasses everything--but from your post you don't suggest that that is the case. I need to be able to freely talk to my therapist & meds provider about what I am feeling & thinking without fear so they can HELP me. If I had to worry about them barging in & doing something like this, you can be sure I would not tell the truth about any paranoid thoughts or suicidal ideation or anything other than Polly Anna thoughts... Believe me, if I could not trust them to hold my stuff in confidence. And I have not signed a release for my husband, but I have for my therapist & meds provider & internal medicine doc to speak to each other.
I tell them the TRUTH. If I am dangerously suicidal, I call. I've made a promise, a pact. I trust them. They trust me. That is the way it has to be. You do not have a relationship of trust going on here.
I am so sorry for your experience. How awful & scary & traumatic. Let us know what happened. Contact NAMI & get some help & support & get rid of these people who are invading your life, unless you are in a suicidal condition--then everyone has to do whatever means are necessary.
All my best--Suzy
