No this isn't permanent but you need a good night sleep and a break from life. They can give you that at the hospital. Don't feel ashamed of needing that, I have been there and I am glad my friend made me go. I got a nice bed, decent food, and 24 hours of rest. I felt much better when I left...
Don't drink. Please go to the ER. I would rather you end up there when you don't need it then find out you drank, blacked out, and then took your own life. Please don't worry about what your T will think, say, or do. Get the help you need now.
Ha yeah, your T is right, it is a hard habit for me to break. I have a friend that is always getting on to me about it she likes to say "Quit shoulding all over the place it stinks and makes a mess" :D
This is what it has always felt like after processing a memory for me. I will always have the memory because it happened and nothing can make it unhappen but I no longer have the triggers associated with the memory. I handle it with a healthy attitude of "That was something shitty that happened...

It is up and down. I was in an abusive relationship with a psychopath for 7 years. I left when he was arrested one night after beating the shit out of me (wasn't the first time he did, but it was the first time he got caught). After moving back in with my mother and going though therapy for a...
I once had a friend tell me to think of my past as the dark ages. When I wanted to study the memories and work though them I could but if I ever didn't want to all I had to do was say "That was the dark ages." It has help me out so much that I am thinking of having it tattooed on my inner wrist...
Yeah, I have decided that I'm going to set aside all alcohol for the time being. I have had alcohol free blackouts and I have had nights where I was wasted and had no issues at all. I think it was the stress I have been under and the alcohol only helped worsen what would have been a bad night...
