Question Details: How do I take legal action on some one in the Hawaii Air National Guard for sharing my personal information? This person knew about my current suicide attempt and in-turn shared this privacy act information with 8 of my co-workers and now this information is spread to over 5000 people and this has totally destroyed me mentally, physical, and emotionally.
You need to hire an attorney for this. This isn't a simple case, and while you haven't said how the Hawaii Air National Guard figurs into this, if it does, it complicates matters, a lot. You're going to have to find someone you can get into all the horrid "details" with, because they're going to be necessary, cases like this are usually very sensitive to the facts. You're going to have to be prepared to go on living with this for two or three years.
Make sure not to neglect your current mental health treatment, and don't hesitate to address this unlawful disclosure with your providers. Your health is more important than any lawsuit; also, it is mostly by your providers' records and testimony that your damages can be proved.
