laying loads of blame


Explanation:
... is what I'd start from.
But I'm not sure BLAME should be used, since it's more concerned with the target (who's to blame) than with the intensity (how culpable is the one to be blamed). Maybe, I'd also consider

"reproaching yourself harshly" or something...
