'cringe attack'

So often times at night I will automatically start obsessing over every little thing I did during the day and I will just start cringing and feeling horrible and embarrassed because I start to think everything I did was embarrassing. Once this happens I can't stop it and I was just wondering if anyone has tips on getting through this?

I do this too! Then I remember, when I realize I'm obsessing over what I THINK I did wrong, that most likely either it wasn't that wrong to begin with, Or, nobody was paying attention anyway. In other words, my fretting manifests into some delusion that everyone has time to think about the stupid things I do! Truth is, most people don't. So liberating when I can get there in my head!
