I just came out (sort of)

Well, I just got back from my new psychiatrist. We discussed a lot of hard issues and it was kind of weird. When the discussion of my sexuality( I was unsure for a while) came around, i told her that I had slowly come to the realization that I was gay. That was about it. Man, why the hell was that so easy? I don't trust frickin' anyone and there I was, about an hour after meeting this chick, and I came out. I wish I could say it was a load off my shoulders, but in reality, it just made my paranoia a lot worse. What if she contacted my school? What if somehow, someone that I know found out? What if my dad found out? I dunno, I guess time will tell. Anyway, I came out to one person today.

Well, finals are starting tomorrow and I am pretty much screwed...Literally. Anyways, I have to go...My sister just pulled up in the driveway.
Hey- anybody seen/ heard from devildog? She hasn't been on in over a week. I'm a little worried.

Umm...

I don't think your psychiatrist is allowed to tell any of your family members/school faculty, shouldn't be a concern.

Yeah, a psychiatrist is bound

Yeah, a psychiatrist is bound as a professional to keep private ALL information that has passed between the two of you, unless that information regards something that would be extremely dangerous to yourself or others (i.e. you are plotting to kill people, or you are planning to kill yourself, etc.). If your psychiatrist told someone you were gay without your permission, you could sue the crap out of them, and they would almost definitely be stripped of their position for breaking doctor-patient confidentiality.
