[[AC:''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/TruePotential'':
** Shikamaru has one after being given an HannibalLecture from [[HateSink the bloodline executioner Karitoriki]]. It takes several chapters and a pep talk with his team and family for Shikamaru to get over it.
** Fū (the Seven Tails jinchūriki) also has one after she fails to control her Tailed Beast power in a spar against Killer Bee and Yugito.
** Kanji Yamanaka and his brother Fū (the ROOT agent) share one upon reuniting with each other, to the point that Fū allows Kanji to scan his mind so he can know what happened after Fū was inducted into ROOT.

* ''Fanfic/ImprisonedThisTimeForReal'': Katara goes through this when she's first brought into the Waterbender Prison. She then goes through a second one after both her arms are broken by the guards. And she presumably goes through multiple ones each time her limbs are broken. Then she goes through another one, coupled with Despair Event Horizon, upon hearing that the Fire Lord is visiting the prison. Even when she's finally freed, Katara experiences a few more phases of this due to her crippling injuries and seeing the sorry state of the Southern Water Tribe's waterbending culture.

* ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'': Shinji nearly has a mental breakdown in chapter 13 when [[spoiler:he's recounting his story to Kaji and a JDF intelligence officer; they have to slip him a mild sedative to calm him down.]]

* ''Fanfic/QueenOfAllOni'': The entire J-Team has one when Jade first turns back into the Queen, and a more serious one after [[spoiler: she [[TranshumanTreachery transforms]] Viper into [[TheDragon Hebi]]]]. Jackie gets hit particularly hard by the latter, with it nearly crippling him during a fight with the mask-empowered Hak Foo, until he has an EpiphanyComeback.

** Ash hits a pretty bad one after learning [[spoiler: that Dawn, Iris and Cilan might be dead in the new timeline]], until Pikachu [[QuitYourWhining snaps him out of it.]]
** Brock as well. After [[spoiler: his parents died]], his performance as a Gym Leader suffered a lot. It's not until that he begins training with [[spoiler: Pike Queen Lucy]] that he starts to recover.

* In "Smash Generation," Mario appears to have one of these after [[spoiler: finding out that Dr. Mario dies in a year, since they're being visited by their future children. Yeah, it kind of slipped out. It didn't help that they were about to fight the ''zombie'' of said doctor]]. Bonus points to the writer who even referenced the site for the idea.

[[AC: ''Literature/{{Worm}}'']]

* In the ''Franchise/TeenTitans'' story ''Fanfic/TheMeasureOfATitan'' this can be the only reasonable reaction to [[spoiler: Robin being shot]]. The entire Titans team pretty much goes numb inside, and [[TheHeart Starfire]] copes by [[BewareTheSillyOnes going out and beating senseless any criminal she can find, all night, every night.]]

* The three girls go through this after the death of Bunny, Blossom takes it the hardest, she stays in bed until the Professor comes to talk to her.

* ''Fanfic/{{Fractures}}'': After [[spoiler:being forced to watch all of her fellow Crystal Gems be shattered one after the other to teach her a lesson]], Pink Diamond is left in a near-catatonic state, stuck in her room to contemplate the depths of how much she had screwed up for over five-thousand years.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'']] [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its sequel, ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'' Samantha Shepard gets hit with this ''hard'', twice. First, she blames herself for failing to save [[spoiler:Liara, Miranda's sister Oriana]]. The general state of the galaxy--[[FantasticRacism space-racists]], politics, and well-intentioned if slightly-clueless outsiders knocks her into severe depression. She undergoes a FaceHeelTurn before being mashed into the ground (very literally) by another hero in response to her actions (which include blasting civilians and becoming a DeathSeeker BloodKnight). Then, if that wasn't enough, the [[spoiler:Flood]] invade through a NegativeSpaceWedgie and ''defeat/destroy her entire galaxy despite efforts to save it.'' Again, Samantha blames herself (taking the canonical loss of Thessia up to eleven), sinking into depression for a second time.

* ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'': Following Jade's WhatTheHellHero moment toward her in the 24th chapter, Valerie is shown in this mode in the next chapter.

* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8514012/1/Keena-the-Defendants-of-Constan-Magic-Academy Keena & The Defendants Of Constan Magic Academy]]'' has this with Lily, after [[BigBad Eiko]] telling her that she can't have a romantic relationship with Michie due to Lily kissing Akuto on the events of the Daimao anime (Reason why was some sort of reward), even leading her to brief ''SanitySlippage''. She gets better, though, [[ArmorPiercingSlap thanks]] [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan to]] Michie.

* ''[[Fanfic/AFutureOfFriendshipAHistoryOfHate A Future of Friendship, A History of Hate]]'':

** Shinji went through one in chapters 7 and 8 when [[spoiler:[[http://eva303.smackjeeves.com/comics/1462152/062/ Unit-04 crashed]] as Asuka was piloting it.]]

* [[VideoGame/{{Pico}} Pico]] undergoes a rather ''concerning'' one in the oneshot ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/36211132 Why Is He So Alone?]]'', having trauma and implied hallucinations of the events of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96xeJpDzee4 Pico vs Convict]]''. It gets to the point where he doubts Nene loves him after he [[spoiler:[[DownerEnding accidentally shot her in the head instead of Convict]] in said video]]. Even Nene herself was unsure and rather frightened at one point of what Pico was thinking of himself while he was telling her how scared he was.
-->'''Pico''': “I'm just a reminder of the results of that battle. How can...how could ''anyone'' forgive me for [[spoiler: hurting you]]?.”

---->''Her eyes widened as she faced the cleaver, looking dully into the serrated blade. She couldn't hear Claudia shouting for the match to cease, or for Celestine pleading for him to stop. Was this how it ended? She was going to die? How?''
