Why I feel too ashamed to pray after sinning

Salam everyone. So this happens to me a lot. I mess up, do that sin I keep falling into, and then I just feel so dirty that I can't bring myself to pray for the rest of the day. It's not like I don't want to, it's just... shame, you know? I even avoid saying Allah's name because I feel like I'm not worthy. I know I need to fix this, but is this the right way to feel? Or is this shame from Shaytan trying to keep me away from prayer? Honestly, I feel like he got me and just left me with this heavy feeling. And then when I do ask for forgiveness, I feel like such a hypocrite because I know I'll probably do it again out of weakness. What do you all do when you're stuck like this?

Allah's mercy is bigger than your sin. Don't let the waswas win. Make wudu and pray, even if you don't feel like it. You're not a hypocrite for struggling.

I used to think like that, but then I realized: if you sin and don't pray, you're adding a bigger sin. Prayer cleanses. Just do it.
