It’s a question most would need to think twice about and bring out some honesty

Yes, I indulge in feeling sorry for myself a lot. We call it “having a pity party”.
No. I try not to. Things could be worse.

Hm…good question. Rarely. I have these moods where i hate my situation, and wish it was as easy as the life of some people around me, but mostly it centers around self-blame, where i feel stupid for becoming ill, for the choices i made and that brought or kept me in abusive or self-destructive situations. Or i get angry at people who protect abusers.
It doesnt really feel like selfpity to me (poor me…), but it takes more the form of guilt (stupid me…) and anger at myself and others (stupid others…).
My psychoses are always linked to depression, but it is mainly selfhatred, where i feel responsible for everything bad that happened to me and others.

I do sometimes.
The thought “it’s not fair” and “it shouldn’t be this hard” crosses my mind a lot when I’m feeling down.

Yes, i thought a bit better about it and i do have “not fair” moments. During my last psychotic terror period i exclaimed: i want to swap my life for someone elses! My mum said: i dont think you will get many volunteers at this moment. 
But then when i clear up i think again…it could have been worse.

No i don’t feel sorry formyself cause its my fault i have diagnosed sz. My choices my responsibility. I bought myself into this situation i have to take myself out of it.
I totally did but now that things are getting better now I think “my poor brother” or “my poor dad”. I still sorry for myself sometimes though. I’m depressed all the time and it’s practically the core of me at this point
to a certain extent i would like former friends of mine to have this illness as its a leveller
Yeah. My cousin came to church Sunday crying her eyes out. Her uncle died Saturday
That’s sad I’m sorry

that’s not a black and white one for me.
i don’t like pity parties for myself. so when it comes to that i disregard it by shaking it off and moving on.
when life tells me to feel sorry for myself as part of the natural course through this world i take a deep hard look at it to accept what it is and better myself from it.
when i feel sorry for myself the rest of the time i use it as motivation.
Yes, I have a hard time not feeling sorry for myself.
Poor me poor me POUR ME A DRINK. Saying from AA

No, I’m not depressed anymore and haven’t been depressed for many, many years. Besides I am quite blessed and have nothing to feel sorry for myself about.

There is no point in feeling sorry for yourself
its a negative feeling
Often I hear myself say negative ■■■■ about myself and quickly I replace it with the exact opposite
People think it’s normal to feel pity like it’s something natural in life
If you can choose what how to treat yourself you better start choosing right
