You feel bad about something, then ashamed of feeling bad, then ashamed of disappointing people who sacrificed for you. These layers stack. The way out isn't more shame but naming what's happening, which breaks the cycle.

Chapters

I am shaming my family by being like this. You ever had that thought even for a second? This is for you. Here's what's actually happening. The first loop, you overreact and you feel bad. The second loop, you feel shame about feeling bad. I am an adult, why can't I control myself? And then the third loop, the one that belongs to us, I failed everyone who sacrificed for me. 3 layers stacked one on top of the other. No wonder you can't get out. You're not drowning in one wave, you're drowning in 3. The exit is not more shame about feeling shame. The exit is naming what's happening, which is exactly what you just did.
