THIS IS FOR PROFESSIONAL SINGERS AND VOCAL COACHES ONLY.?
So as I've grown up, I sing a lot! Head voice, belting, you name it! In fact, I've always been a BIG belter. But within the past few months, my voice seems like it's unable to endure anything. I can sing mostly normal in my head voice, but if I belt, it'll get very sore and take like a week to even get close to back to normal. Then I'll try again, and th cycle repeats. Have I forgotten how to belt correctly without straining? Am I not giving my voice enough healing time? What should I do? Please help!! I have vocal auditions, shows, concerts, etc. like every week so it's hard to leave it be. PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE

The most likely scenario is that you've been belting wrong for a long time and your voice finally gave out. Just because your voice sounds good and doesn't hurt doesn't mean that you're not straining/hurting it. Do you take lessons? If not, you're probably belting incorrectly. If you do take lessons, ask your teacher. I would suggest vocal rest (for as long as it takes! no singing or auditioning!) and to get a voice teacher if you don't already have one. If the pain persists, then you might want to see a doctor to get your throat checked out.
EDIT: I have no idea whether your voice is permenantly damaged, I can't hear what you sound like through a computer screen nor am I a doctor...if you really think that it might be that bad of damage then I would definitely suggest you see one as soon as possible :)
