Random person I've been chatting with on a mental health discord server is threatening to call my therapist. Should I be concerned?
Post Body

So I sometimes vent and chat with strangers online on discord mental health servers and I've been chatting with this one user about my issues. Sometimes I spiral and vent and that leads me to make bad decisions, such as disclosing the name of my therapist. Somehow he was able to track down the name and place my therapist works at.

One day, this user tries to act on my behalf by threatening to call my therapist and it's made me nervous and anxious. I made a huge mistake trusting this user with my issues and now he's going to get involved in ways that might impact my life negatively.

Now I'm worried that this user is going to contact my therapist and say hurtful things about me and violate my relationship with my therapist.

My question to you all is: should I be worried that this might affect my relationship with my therapist? I love my therapist and I worry that this discord user will jeopardized that. I don't want my therapist to be angry at me or look at me differently. I'm trying to fix myself and I mess up by venting about my issues online. What should I do? Should I be worried if my therapist will see me differently? Will my therapist terminate our sessions? Will I face serious consequences if this discord user says mean things to my therapist about me?

It may be time to bring this up with them, if this is truly a threat to your relationship. Speak with them about what's going on and the threats being mad against you. Your therapist should understand your position and know you well enough to know you didn't intend for this outcome.

Don't let this random stranger abuse this knowledge and allow them power over you.
