At the time, my T said it was like I had been stuffed into a barrel of ***** and the top priority was to make sure I could at least breathe. Getting out and "cleaned up" would take more time.

Not a fun situation but it is good practice to focus on your own needs and "things to do" while in an awful situation. If you can do this, you can do just about anything.
I've already done things much harder than this. I survived here for 18 years. I escaped through earning a half tuition merit scholarship to my school through my music. I can survive 21 more days.
Thanks for this!
