A session, moment, or any interval of time of time (usually before you sleep) in which you recall embarrassing and cringe-worthy memories from your past that usually make you say "Ugh, why the fuck did I do that?"
Was trying to sleep last night but ended up going through an hour long cringe session. Was fucking brutal.

When you cringe so hard that your face turns red and your blushing. Most of the time the only remedy is to look away or get out of that situation.
Yesterday I was walking down the street I saw my friend standing there in the middle of the street and he started singing it was so bad I cringe-blushed in embarrassment.
