I've struggled with anxiety/depression for as long as I can remember. I believe it is an accumulation of shame built-up in my body/self. As a child I was like a sponge for shame. I was a "bad kid" raised in a shame-based environment. This is so helpful and gives me hope.

So many of us. I still feel it throughout my body. Though it doesn’t define me anymore it’s still there. I keep telling myself that feeling it without believing it is the process of healing it.

Same too. And there is the fear of abandonment beneath the shame. I’m trying to touch that inner child who has never been loved, who have been still suffering from this pain. If my affection and love, desire to be authentic , That is all I want for this life.

Shame can be inherited...passed down from generation to generation. Refuse the shame as it's passed down. You don't have to carry it. Mindfulness helped me. The book 30 Days to Overcome Shame by Harper Daniels was a help for me to heal.

This is incredibly valuable, content & insight, which,TBH, is rarely if ever properly diagnosed, acknowledged, and perhaps most importantly treated and/or healed. If & when toxic shame goes untreated, it can cause tremendous, undue pain & suffering which is made manifest in a wide range/ variety of ongoing challenges, issues and problems, that will plague one’s life, including many of the people around them, both personally and professionally. Quite frankly, it is an insidious, sneaky disorder or condition which oftentimes goes unaddressed, thus causing immeasurable & irreparable, undue harm. To put it another way most people don’t know they have it and they don’t know that they don’t know they have it which is why it is so injurious. More to the point, the healing process is both arduous and ongoing…. which underscores and reinforces just how crucial it is that CPTSD be properly identified and treated. Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤❤

My father abandoned me as a baby and my mother raised me alone. My whole life I felt that I owed the universe, like it was a favor to be here. I took on a caring for others mentality. I went into healthcare and had kids and tried to give them everything I didn’t get. But I can’t lift the fog of depression. Sometimes I feel so bad I want my life to end

Wow really good, in the last few months I realised shame was just a constant feeling all the time. Childhood abuse. I ran from it my whole life, tried to reason with it, fight it, take on so much work and hobbies so I could never notice it, nothing worked. Then a few weeks ago I decided to let myself feel it, explore what I was feeling shamed about and I reframed it. Realising I don't sit around remembering the stupid things people do and that they wouldn't be remembering these events causing me deep shame either was a first revelation, then realising even if they did they had also done similar stupid things so who are they to judge, and as for the childhood abuse, well that really was the parents issue. I'm sure there's more work to do, but I feel so much lighter, I've cut my mother off, but I realise i might also need to cut off the sister and father as they were enablers and I just noticed how my body tenses up and feels anxious when they are around. I don't want to but maybe I just need to. I never thought I'd ever get on top of that constant shame feeling in my body, a relic from narcicisstic programming, but maybe I can. this is a great video.

Wow, that's really good! It's so brave of you to share this. Realizing and facing your feelings of shame, especially from childhood abuse, takes immense courage. It sounds like you've been through a lot, and it's understandable that you tried different ways to cope. Allowing yourself to feel and explore your shame is a huge step forward. Understanding that others don't dwell on our mistakes and recognizing that everyone has their own flaws is a powerful revelation. You're right, the abuse you endured is not your fault and was your parents' issue, not yours. It's great to hear that you're feeling lighter. Cutting ties with family members, especially when they contribute to your anxiety, can be incredibly difficult but sometimes necessary for your well-being. Trust your instincts and prioritize your peace and healing. You're on an amazing journey of self-discovery and healing. Remember, it's okay to take things one step at a time. You've made so much progress already, and I'm sure you will continue to grow and find even more strength within yourself. Thank you for sharing your story, and I'm glad you found the video helpful. Keep taking care of yourself!
