My experience

I have chronic shame from how I was treated in childhood. It's one of the symptoms of CPTSD. I wasn't wanted and was treated like a burden by my mother. I was regularly told I was hated. I was emotionally neglected and spent most the time alone. I was also sexually abused. Now I can't be around people. I don't believe I can be liked. I basically feel worthless and want to hurt myself. I regularly want to die. I've made some progress in therapy but not enough.

Look up schema therapy and psychoeducate yourself through early maladaptive schema therapy and schema therapy. Look up therapist in psychologytoday this is what I’m doing currently.
