> I always get pissed when someone says I'm feeling sorry for myself
I know this might sound like semantic manipulation, but I believe that if one is truly feeling SORRY for oneself, it is not depression, but empathy. Depression is more like shaming oneself or blaming oneself. So what others call feeling sorry isn't really that. Truly feeling sorry might be the start of some good grief process.
