This week I am having shame attacks. They're sort of like panic attacks in that they seem to come without reason. All of the sudden, I just feel all the physical sensations of shame. Burning cheeks, wanting to hide my face and all. At first they came with some OCD type nonspecific thoughts, but now the shame just comes on its own. I am even waking up in the middle of the night feeling shame.
All in all it's not that bad, especially now that I am not having any accompanying thoughts. It beats anxiety and depression. It's just weird to see how my brain misfunctions sometimes. I can just see all those "shame" neurons happily firing away.
