Ruminating/self loathing
Like many people, I’m prone to lying awake thinking about every stupid thing I’ve ever done and said. Recently I kicked that into high gear because I made a BIG mistake and got a scammed and exposed some sensitive personal information. Believe me, I should have known better, but a series of events led me into a state of mind when I was vulnerable and gullible. Anyway, I am having trouble sleeping because I have a constant thought loop running of “I am a fucking idiot who blew it and I hate myself.”
Has anyone else gone through something similar? Thanks.

can offer yourself some compassion. 
And you as well.
I worked for years, got a graduate degree, got disabled, and look at friends and relatives and think you're a loser who fucked up, you'll end up homeless... never travel... all your hard work was for nothing. It's hard not to for me.
It's funny you say you revealed sensitive information. My data was hacked and now I am waiting to see if something bad will happen.
I'm trying to be mindful. Its very, very hard.
I'm sorry this happened. We all have vulnerable moments.
We're all human and mistake-prone. It's so hard to forgive yourself though! Working on it...
think about what I would say to my best friend in the same situation. Or, I give myself set limited time each day to devote to rumination. Say 20-30 minutes at a designated time. Then when time is up, no more until same time tomorrow. Sounds a bit silly, but it works for me. My ruminating thoughts are guilt related.
Good Luck! 
I'd rather think about stuff during the day and move on rather than lie awake with my brain spinning with guilt and shame.
