Now I am kicking myself for it, I am very anxious it will backfire on me, and I am SO angry at myself for getting loose after a few drinks!

GRRR GRRRR GRRRR.

I know why i did it... I am all alone at work with my struggles, I lost my single confidante at work who left the company two months ago, AND I have no therapist right now.

I just feel like the biggest A-hole and worry that I've alienated my colleagues. I think the writing's on the wall: I should just leave the company.

My usual f-up self is f-ing up again.

Please be gentle with me, if you do respond to this... I'm looking for supportive replies only, not constructive criticism. I'm already aware that I made a huge mistake and that I probably should not have said a single word. I am already very upset with myself for this.
It's probably not as bad as you think it is. And if anyone brings it up, just say, "I was blowing off steam, that's all. I'm excited to get back to work and kick ***." And don't mention it at all. Everyone gripes about work. I'm sure they have gripes too.
