Congrats.

Since he calls you lactose intolerance still, I hope you call him milk.

I have a habit of honest drunken confessions too. It's sort of a running joke with my friends.

But I am also that super nice drunk in the bathroom who hypes you up.

But that just means my hype is earnest and real.

This made my day, hilarious, thank you for sharing your pain. Makes me think of the time a toddler took a shit picked it up, put it on a stick and began chasing me with it. Poo is the kryptonite of humans.

In my case it WAS a dream so I had to keep trying over and over. Kept waking up to realize I had only dreamt calling. It was brutal. I FINALLY called for real. But it took many tries.

I also used to dream I got out of bed, got dressed, etc. Then I would wake up and have to do it all over again for real. Made Mondays suck doubly.

I have done something like this too. I kept dreaming I called, then I would wake up and realize I hadn't called. So I would try again. Rinse and repeat.

Later I asked the lady who took the call if I did in fact call. She said I did. Once. (good thing I kept trying) She said I sounded delirious. I said I had been!

Also she wasn't the person I should have called. No idea why I called her! She did pass the message along though.

We still laugh about it.

It's the drinking. Some people just are mean drunk. Do not get drunk ever again. If you drink just limit to a drink or two and just state that you won't drink anymore due to what happened last time and just stop there. Do this friends drink a lot? Do you?

I see that you contradict yourself in your statements: "I am not mean, I am a good friend, I am a nice person. Don't know where this came from" and then you go on to say you have a history of violence when you were younger... or at least a history of being mean. So you do know where it comes from, and there's more from where that came from. In therapy go through this and the unresolved trauma because your inhibitions disappear when drunk and that's why your mean behavior came back.

As for your friends... you need to apologize profusely. Sit down with every single one of them. Go through the behavior. Accept responsability, say you are going to therapy to address that issue and you are committed to work on this since it was not ok and it hurt people you care about. Finally, offer restitution. How sre you going to make it right by the people you hurt? Maybe some dinner and just go through the whole process of... being in the dog house as it were, since your stunt hurt people. Just be patient with them and with yourself. You made a mistake, a big one but you are a human. Just try to make this right.

I once did a version of this with a very relaxed boss, luckily. Half-awake and fully delirious I sent off an email to let them know I was sick and wouldn't be coming in. A few hours later I got a phone call asking if I was OK because it's not like me to no show. Checked my history and I'd sent the email to myself.

Omg I was super sick and ended up texting my boss a super long message about how I really wanted her to believe that I was sick and she could FaceTime me if she wanted so I could prove it and how I was so sorry I was out for so long😂 and I didn’t even know I sent it until like two days later when I went to go text her again and omg the embarrassment 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Like seriously, better to give it a shot, than to live out a tortured existence. At the very least you'll have that huge weight off your chest. Maybe she'll feel the same way. Maybe not. If she's a real friend, it won't destroy your friendship. Will it be a bit awkward? Probably. But it'll be a bump in the road that you'll eventually get over.
