Signed off JSA because work program made me feel suicidaul

I think i ve just shot myself in the foot ( not literally 
( )
I was put with a higly pugnacious employment adviser ( i ve had abuse from men in the past) ,he practically shouted at me for having my head down ( i m a bit underweight and take anti depressants so i m quite tired looking),:( i walked out shaking and didnt return to the building because i felt faint afterwards , He then sent me emails saying he doubts my right of entitlement . i felt so sick i , i started having chest pains and shaking. I went and signed of JSA the next day in panic, and wrote in the book that is because ive been treated unfairly. He wanted to see me for 6 days in a row afterwards.. i could not cope with that. I sent an email to the team leader, who i think has done nothing.
But i signed all there documents so that means i am with them for 2 full years whether i like it or not? i desperately want to change providers,i thought they would help me not make me feel worse.
I m really hoping to get an xmas temp job, but i m guessing i ve not done the right thing signing off have i .( they will probably try to set me up.
i live with my mum who is supportive, any advice? help

Yes you are right in you are with them for two years. The Process for complaints about WP providers is write to them, keep copies and if you are not happy with the reply you go straight to the independent complaints commission. When you were referred to the work programme you should have been issued with details on how to complain. If not ask in your local office.
By all means right to your MP but the job centre will be unable to deal with your complaint as they do not have any involvement with the contracts.0
