Attorney and HIPPA Question

Are SSI Attorneys bound by HIPPA or something similar? I am contacting one for SSI and they are wanting my medical records to see if they can help with my case.

I'm very cautious with sending over my medical records and wanted to make sure I am protected. I asked, but they haven't answered.

Is this normal or should I be cautious?

Finding the Courage

I found the courage to report a healthcare professional, (not a doctor), for harming me during medical testing. It took me over 8 months to find the courage. I reported it because I dont want anyone else to experience the same harm I did.

I feel very guilty for not reporting sooner and that I might've caused harm to a fellow vulnerable person for not reporting the person and what they did to me.

I'm not sure if this is the right form for this. I experience chronic pain which is why I had the testing done.

Emotion based disorder

I've been noticing the less I care for an area, such as the area isn't mine or an area I'm not in often, the easier it is the clean that specific area.

This condition is awful with the amount of mind games I gotta play. I have been putting items in a room I rarely visit about so I can then go into that area a year later to get rid of items.

Why is this condition so emotions based?! It's awful and hard to manage. I just want a nice room with soft blankets. Cozy and warm. I dont want a room filled with clutter but it keeps fighting me! I understand its trying to protect me, but the floor is fall hazard and I am a fall risk. This isn't safe or cozy.

I'm hoping to make some progress today. I have faith and hope in myself.

How do I get help?

I finally got diagnosed as level 2 autism like ive suspected for years. I was misdiagnosed for years because I mask myself to appear Level 1. The pyschologist seemed shocked by how well I mask my communication struggles despite the tests showing I am very low. I communicate beautifully, they usually say.

I need help with supports, I've never been able to get supports. My parents don't want to help me and want to send me away to an institution but right now only think Im level 1.

I am struggling with the paperwork to try and get help. My social worker has stopped helping me, I'm assuming because my needs are too high. I keep being told to fill out more and more paperwork with the false promise things will get better. I'm so exhausted from reading all the paperwork. It's too much for me to do. I'm so tired and it seems like the group homes around me 10+ wait lists, but don't take anyone with severe mental illnesses like PTSD or chronic pain conditions.

I'm still waiting to hear back from SSI and I'm trapped in abuse. The pyschologist said I will most likely not be able to live alone and I don't think a shelter can support me until I get housing. It feels like Im holding out for hope that is truly not there.

Are things truly meant to be so grim? Is there support for someone like me?

Oh man, I really need tips or tricks to cleaning a room. I just need to clean one singular room but I am always in too much pain. It's a complete mess with stuff all over the floor. None of the tips and tricks that I find in disability forms work for me. Just moving hurts for me.

My pain is not under control and flared at the slights of things. It's mostly in my joints but even my muscles can really hurt if I'm not careful.

There is stuff on the floor and bending hurts too much. I need to declutter the items, so it becomes less of a tripping hazard. I never even have energy to do things I want to do, pain is front and center for me. I don't have anyone to help me and I have to figure it out on my own. :(

Escaping homeschooling life is so difficult. I can't hold a job because I got very sick from what homeschooling did to me. I've been trying to get on government help and leave, but evidently it's not enough to live on. So... How do I leave this homeschool life behind? How do I leave and improve my life for the better? All the resources I find are aimed for if you can work. I'm in therapy, but it's not going to fix the situation I'm in and coping mechanisms don't work.

I'm becoming more and more desperate to leave. Am I doomed to stay trapped forever?
