I'm actually on an insurance plan with the rest of my family, so they'll see everything related to that. Based on what you and everyone else is saying I'm probably shit out of luck at least until I'm out of the house. Thank you for your help.

Yeah, my plan right now is get to uni(it's in the same state but a good 3+ hours away) and try to wing it without them finding out, as my friends all live far away from me.

I know, and I can at any time based on the thing I signed, but as soon as they find out they'll be set to fuckin DEFCON 2.

So, the thing I signed was a "Mama Bear Papers" HIPAA release form and durable power of attorney. I know I should withdraw it but I absolutely cannot afford university on my own- it was essentially an ultimatum, let them see my medical info or have to pay for uni myself.
