Katie Badger ✨ SLP :
I just came out of one as well. I firmly believe this shame is the root of my OCD symptoms, particularly with morality and being a good person. literally ONE small thing happened, and it caused me to spiral into such a deep sense of shame. it’s not logical at all. you’re so right - it’s somatic.

I get these shame attacks almost daily. I’ll be fine then suddenly I’ll remember a situation from years ago and be overwhelmed and incapacitated with shame. It’s brutal. I’m not glad you get them too but I am glad I’m not alone 🥺

Panic attacks, anxiety attacks, stomach issues resulting for pushing the shame down for decades of your life. 💯

yep, have had what I called "guilt attacks" since I was very young- sometimes I went to a parent hoping for them to help in those moments but would leave feeling worse and defeated.

1. shame attack triggered by w/e 2. spiral into anxiety 2. feel awful 3. self-pity as defense mechanism 4. self-pity makes me feel pathetic and weak and therefore shameful 5. repeat from 1

I completely understand this feeling and experiencing it now. And it gets worse at night after decompressing from the day

It’s like my whole body heats up in panic, my heart drops and my thoughts of shame or cringe are all consuming in my mind they come out of nowhere randomly and attack on a loop

I think I know what you’re talking about but for some reason I’m still convinced no one else knows what it’s like and I’m the only person that has experienced this lol

this sounds like rejection sensitivity dysphoria which is a common symptom of ADHD - idk if it's the same but I have all these feelings x

The Marketing Realist :
I grew up in high control religion, and what you’re describing was a HUGE unlock for me. I described it as “guilt feels the same in my body as anxiety.” Once I realized that, it was a huge “aha” moment…I was living with CHRONIC shame/guilt/anxiety. It’s so so validating to hear you describe this

Nellie :
The ‘I’m the problem’ mental state is so underestimated. I had to learn at age 30, after going no contact, that I wasn’t actually worthless. It was so ingrained, I hadn’t considered it to be a perception and not a fact.

D tomato :
Ok yes! I just started recognizing this! Ugh the stomach drop feeling is awful! I used to try to figure out what I needed to *do* to make it stop. Like you, I’m realizing I just need to ride out the feeling instead of acting on it.

Do you feel the shame attacks are also triggered by hormones? I have a feeling that I enter into a deeply shame based state for a week before my period comes. Would love to hear your thoughts ❤️

I call it feeling like I’m in trouble (like when I was little) and yes it is so hard.
