I've had Geraldine for nearly 2 years and she has never done this. I don't think I'm overwatering, I always wait for the soil to he bone dry at least a few inches deep before I water her. I moved her outside yesterday so could it be sun exposure? I'm in Texas so it is hot but I have a covered patio so she's not in full sun. Usually she's inside by the glass doors. Her pot has several draining holes and there is perlite in the soil. Is there a way I can get her back to normal or should I just remove the damaged leaves?

Thank you for posting to r/plantclinic!
It looks like you may be asking about a cactus or succulent. In addition to any advice you receive here, please consider visiting r/cactus r/succulents for more specialized care advice.
A common problem with cacti and succulents is etiolation. This is when a succulent stretches or becomes leggy. Reply with “!etiolation” for advice.

It is severely overwatered and rotting. Cut the stem where there is no rot and propagate it. You need a well draining, fast drying cactus soil, and remember, these live in arid conditions, and rarely get water. I water mine maybe once a month max, less in the winter.
