Perhaps the bath house added to your discomfort. I wouldn't go to one unless I was feeling very confident. 
You had a bad experience and it really shook you up. But you know the saying. "Get back up on that horse." The best suggestion you've gotten is, next time, use a provider who is well known and experienced. 
As for all these suggestions regarding your mental health; it's sort of silly to assume we know the state of your mental health after reading your post.
Hang in there brother.

That's EVERY room at a bathhouse.  I haven't seen a AAA rating giving any bathhouse room a 5 Diamond review.
If one wants comfort, go to a Hilton 

Thank you all for your feedback. I see that some people will always find fault in the client seeking a service and when it becomes (my) traumatic experience,  this wasn't the place to post it. 

I made this amount just to tell this story because I've been sitting on it for two days. One of the most traumatizing experience in the 10 years I've been hiring. 
I used to be on this site a while ago and have just been reading reviews and not commenting on anything. Tonight I needed to get this off my chest because I was traumatized by a provider to the point where I may not want to hire again. 
I live in Cleveland, Ohio. Not many choices here. I booked this escort from the site and we decided to meet at the local bathhouse that I've never been to. I went to one a few decades ago that made me uncomfortable so I never tried to go back to one. 
I booked the provider and got to the bathhouse. We began talking and I told him I was a bit uncomfortable. He got a room the size of a closet with two benches. I asked him if we could move to a room with a bed and I should be more comfortable.   We did. I paid for the room.  $26. Not much,  no big deal.  He asks for his small fee. We agreed on $200.  I hate paying before the service but it seems like that's what providers are doing these days,  especially if you don't give them a deposit, which i didn't. We agreed that I would send it through venmo as a business transaction so if things go wrong,  I can protect myself. I would never try to reverse a payment after a booking of we already spent the time together. He agreed.
We kept talking, I kept being visibly uncomfortable. He said after all this he thinks we should call his friend to come over for a threesome. I said I'm not comfortable right now so bringing another stranger into the room would make me more so. We ended up not bringing in his friend. 
The bathhouse has strict no street clothes rules and cell phones have to stay in the locker. He had his phone,  I had mine. He had his street clothes,  mine were in my locker. This became a red flag to me. He tried to leave to smoke a cigarette right after I paid him. When he left the room I texted him saying I was uncomfortable and I wanted to leave. He came back in and said I was wasting his time. (MY time, it actually was.)
He started saying he was a police officer and his cousin downstairs was a police officer as well. This added to me being uncomfortable. I started to panic. I've never felt this way with a provider before and I was thinking of shit, what did I get myself into. I was waiting for him to show me a badge and I waited for more police to come in and arrest me for paying for sex. Nothing. I told him I wanted to go but I was scared police were downstairs. I've heard of stings and I thought this was one. More panic. He walked me downstairs and I called myself an Uber and it was the longest 8 minutes I've waited for an uber. I was super aware of my surroundings and watched to see if police were coming. I got in the Uber, terrified this was it. I ran into my apartment and called a friend, panicking that I had screwed up. 
The provider kept texting me, taunting me and I stopped engaging, took sleeping pills and went to bed. He messaged me today and I told him how I felt. And I'm not engaging with him anymore.
He had me blocked on the site so I can't leave a review. I had emailed the site and they haven't responded yet,  which is weird because in the past they would respond within 24 hours. I think hours profile should be removed. 
Do you all ever get this nervous that you may be hiring an undercover police officer? I've had some bad (and great experiences) with providers but this was the worst one I've had. I have text messages of him taunting me. I'd post them but he texted some sensitive information about me (that you can Google).

Nope. Not much else to the evening. Thank you for victim shaming.

I did not mention that I forgot to send the payment as a business transaction, so he got his money for the time he spent with me regardless of me being uncomfortable or not.
Of course another provider would find fault with a client when what I was experiencing was clearly not good service. He didn't have to pretend he was a police officer and then continue to harass me after I got home.   This... was his fault.  I never said me being uncomfortable at the bathhouse was his fault.  I would think the escort not getting a proper room with a bed was his fault.
It sounds like to me some providers don't always think of what's best for the client. When someone is already feeling uncomfortable,  a normal person wouldn't go ahead and ADD to that discomfort. And when I left he added MORE discomfort by harassing me. 

If the guy got paid his full fee for hanging around a few minutes and no sex I don’t understand why he would taunt the next day.
