Angry Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress

I am a victim if haneous HIPAA violations. My medical information was wrongfully released to my employers my a healthcare provider and county judge (Public Indigent Health). When my employers learned I was filing legal matters against these healthcare providers and the judge, they informed me they did not wish to become 'involved'. Furthermore, my employer (owner of business) began harrassing me about pursuing this legally, and that he can fire me for anything he wants not cause of my medical situation cause Texas is a fire-at-will State. I had HepB (an allowable dissease while being employed in the foodservice industry by the state health dept.), and due to my employer harrassing me, threatening me, and cutting my pay and hours drastically, I began this ugly spiral of becoming depressed, I lost my car it was repossessed, and ultimately, I lost my apartment cause of lack of funds to pay rent, and had to move. I had to change schools, everything was a mess. I was doing a great job dealing with my disease, medicating myself properly, and holding up fine, despite the negative effects it had on my body. This stress inflicted by my employer caused me to become more ill, depressed, lose my apetite (which conflicted with meds), etc etc. Isn't there enough grounds to sue this business owner for intentional infliction of emotional distress?? Also, I was forced to quit my job, I resigned due to the harrassment. Could this stand as 'wrongful termination'?
