Do you feel sorry for yourself?

[jajingna]

I think self-pity is a common part of depression and feelings of low self-worth. I don't know what the point of self-pity is, maybe a sort of comfort. I've often felt sorry for myself, but don't know if it ever helped me in any way.

i do
when im struggling i often think i have the worst life and problems in the world ,which i know is wrong
but when im very bad i just cannot see past my own problems ,when im doing better i realise so many people have it worse than me and i should be grateful x

No I do not actually. I try to keep a positive in-the-moment attitude.

Hi

Yes its a terrible feeling, im sorry you get this too.
Ive been like this for years now and its kind of second nature for me to think this way sadly.

Its feels like a wave of sadness ,and it frightens me , it washes me away.

I always feel sorry for my self but I'm a stressed sort of person most of the time x

I don't feel sorry for myself and never have. It never seems to occur to me to feel sorry for myself.

I never feel sorry for myself. It sucks to have mental illness but that is just life.

 

[Bellaone]

I do sometimes and that’s when it all becomes even more difficult.

 

[losingme1989]

Yeah. Guess its common when living with chronic pain & illness...

 

[Keesha]

Currently.
YES!

I'm not sure it's "feeling sorry" for myself, but I definitely get anxious thinking about my life. I need to practice mindfulness more. For me, not ruminating about the past is a major problem and mindfulness is the answer. Plus, avoiding wankers (to use a British term).

I actually feel sorry for the world. Not myself.
