I get wicked panic attacks after checking in with Straight.
I do advocate a stiff drink and some alone time with your memories. It's good to let it flow for awhile, instead of trying to shut the faucet off.
Also remember that you were lied to. Whatever they said about you, it wasn't true. Just because a teenage cult calls you a drunk/whore/loser/slacker, whatever, DOESN'T mean it's true.
The truth is that Straight was a Republican scheme to reprogram dissidents and people with "charachter disorders'. It was the Gitmo of the Eighties. It happened, it's real, and it's completely fucking illegal. Yes.
The good news is that your'e alive, and in possesion of the facts now. You have hundreds of people here in this board who know EXACTLY, and I mean EXACTLY how the Oh My God I Was In Fucking Straight for TWO FUCKING YEARS attack goes.
Oh, and we didn't allow people to do this to us. We had no choice.
I'm sending you calm vibes right now.
Peace
