I experienced feeling shame after a being bullied by hate group. Harassment was extreme and attack went on for years. In silent I endure feeling no one would understand. This is great information. Thank you for sharing

I reported dirty cops to the feds in 2016 and I have been followed, threatened, and harassed ever since. It's been really hard but I am so proud of myself for not giving up. Stay strong and document everything. The truth will come to light! 💕

Being the brave one when the powers are against you is really hard but sounds like you did a good thing for the benefit of others. I appreciate the courage you've had. More people should do it ​@sarahelizabethtaylor1159

No one deserves to he ganged up on. Cowards do that and bullies.Says more about them than you. Keep your head held high God Bless you.

And it also helps from my experience to externalise the shame and accept it as part of our story without dwelling on it. Resisting or trying to change thoughts and feelings of shame is not always helpful certainly in chronic cases such as complex trauma.

this is me due to having ocd nearly all my life up until very recently, it makes me seem unfit for this world and makes me not want to do anything... plus my brain still hasnt fully recovered from it all so anxiety still creeps up on me over little things so that makes moving forward even harder.

I know I can be bad in horror movies, the way I’ve screamed at times was always over the top at least like once in many movies.
