Don't know where to begin - advice sought please.

Thanks so much for the advice. Yes, I certainly carrying around a lot of "mental garbage", which is a great way of describing it. Having read a few people's experiences, I am quite apprehensive about beginning with it as I've heard them saying it can be extremely distressing what it brings up. I'm in a current situation right now where I am suffering from the repercussions of an incident six months ago, where I passed out drunk and ended up in hospital with a head injury. In my confused state, I called a policeman a "fucking arsehole" and a "dickhead" when he seemingly, suddenly appeared in my face - I didn't have clue what was going on or who I was talking to. When they released me from the hospital I had handcuffs on me and I spent a couple of hours in the cells, where they told me I was going to be charged. I'm currently trying to deal with the letter I received a couple of days ago from the procurator fiscal - I have no idea how I'm going to fight this, or simply plead guilty and get a criminal record. It's probably be a small fine, but I don't want a record and the experience is a bit of a nightmare. Would it be safe for me to start EPRHA at this point in time? I want to do something.

And I woke up again this morning with the Sleephones round my neck.
