Overshared and had a complete drunken breakdown

I’d had quite a rough few weeks with several personal difficulties and had a big event with lots of friends at the weekend. During the event, I decided, for some reason, to go completely mad with the alcohol. At first came the buzz, but then, I suddenly needed to vent to a friend about my absolute state, then the floodgates opened. I genuinely could not hold back and completely broke down, becoming so upset that I couldn’t even speak properly. My friend was incredibly supportive, offering me excellent advice and being a great listening ear, however I feel embarrassed for not controlling my emotions better and for putting my friend in a slightly awkward emotional situation.

After this breakdown, I continued to drink excessively and the final few hours of the night are completely forgotten. I’m not normally a heady drinker, but when I do get bladdered, I’m usually an emotional wreck.
