self pity
Hey, do you guys have any recommendations for techniques or things you use to snap out of self-pity? I can tend to wallow in it for days until finally something snaps and I realize that I'm just creating my own misery. Going to an AA meeting where I hear about someone who had a low bottom usually puts my problems in perspective and helps me to be grateful. Any other things people do?

I think just understanding what self pity is helps. For instance:
Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.
