You might also consider contacting a patient advocacy organization -- this one is a non-profit, and might at least have some good advice they could share for free:
Patient Advocate Foundation
Phone: (800) 532-5274
Regarding anyone's claims that seeing your records could be detrimental to your health, you seem like a perfectly credible witness for your own sanity to me. As long as you're not a minor or a ward of the state I think they have to defer to you as being your own advocate and representative.
At least that would be my assertion. As a side note, it seems to me to be pretty "magical thinking" to imagine that allowing a person to read their own diagnostic records could cause a psychotic break or other such regrettable event of an unspecified nature. Probably not helpful to point this out to them though.
