if the roots are damaged, what will they look like? i use a small indoor grow light bulb for light and sit it outside on my porch as much as i can. also what do you mean by cut it back? thank you for the advice!(:

Damaged roots are 'generally' brown, but not always as some perfectly healthy ones are too! They can be brittle as in dried out, stringy, thin and losing their outer skin, or wet, dark and mushy as in rotted. Cutting back....pruning to help it branch out more with tighter growths, but only if the conditions you're providing are altered. Hopefully those who do grow it will come in, I can't really be of any more help. If you decide to unpot, post some pics of the roots, it may not be necessary to unpot, wait till further advice comes in.

Your plant is severely light starved and I see the leaves dying off at the stem, which means that plant is shedding them. That level of wilting and leaf-death points to a die-off at the roots. It doesn't look like a fungus got in there, it could be that this plant is just too stressed to go on. Panicking over a little rain and then not watering at all for too long probably killed the roots. So long as there is a drainage hole in your pot, rain will not kill succulents. How often were you watering before this? The only succulents that predictably die from overwatering are: many cacti, lithops, stapeliads, euphorbia and a whole lot of fairly exotic species most of us have never even heard of. Yours is not one of those.

If this were my plant, I would go for broke and water it well, keeping the soil damp but not soggy for a few days and then watering as soon as it looks dry on top and keeping that grow light all the time during daytime. It will either recover or it won't.
