For those who know or are just now figuring it out: shame does not work to minimize problematic behavior or emotional suffering.  Neither does negative thinking.  Neither does ignoring problems hoping they will just go away on their own.  So what does help?  What helps you move forward and be able to regain your footing after you have suffered from a big setback in your life?

Therapy helps.  Good therapy can help quite a bit.
