    I have Parkinson's disease. Diagnosed 3 years ago. Talk about difficult life. I sure wish I could deal with this better than I am. And yes I pray everyday. Some of those prayers are to have God take me home.

    I needed to hear this. I’ve been feeling so sorry for myself after my son, my first, died in labor last year. My heart is still so broken. There is still so much trauma that keeps me up at night. But I was letting my sorrow turn inward and it was turning to bitterness and anger and jealousy of others who have their children. It’s not right for me to live in self pity. It doesn’t help me either and it doesn’t do anything for my son. It only makes people like me less. The only thing that helps at all is focusing on Jesus.

      I am so deeply sorry for your loss Carolyn. I cannot even imagine the tremendous amount of pain you're carrying. My heart hurts for you. You are unbelievably strong and I pray you give yourself the time you need to go through all of the stages of grief you're allowed to feel. There isn't a time frame. You're a mother who's hurting for the loss of her son. You're doing the best that you can. Be gentle with yourself. Your cross isn't light and not everyone can carry what you're carrying or understand it. You're closest to our Lord in your pain. Unite to him and our holy mother in all your sorrow. I pray they comfort you, bring you peace and the strength to live your life for the Glory of God. Take care of yourself. I send you love and hugs through prayer.

      I'd like to say the same, but I'm not sure - and I've thought about it some. I've never experienced rough times the likes of which I hear and read about from others. I hope I can accept whatever the Lord sends my way. My old pastor used to have a bad back (I'm sure he still does, but he's got a different parish now). He tried to remain joyful and accept the suffering, but he said to me once that he couldn't always do that very well.

      @@paulmiller3469 it's a constant struggle to remember and accept our cross, sometimes you feel like you dont deserve this but, I then remember Christ's passion for our sins and through it Gods love for us. I have to say it's not easy. I'll fight to accept my cross against my own self and then to develop the relationship with holy spirit that will guide me through it. In the end you will rejoice the journey.

    To a large extent, those who have experienced trauma cannot simply "stop." Their nervous system, which is probably in a shutdown or threatened state, prevents them from feeling safe and connecting with others. They may be stuck until they find a situation where they can get their nervous systems to stop trying to overprotect them. What I don't like about this this message is that it makes the solution sound simply cognitive. It may be sometimes. But not after significant trauma.

My strengths, weaknesses, failures, successes, the abuse I may have gone through... doesn't define me. I'm a beloved child of God and God is with me always. He will see me through anything. Those are the realities that we should keep in mind. 'Pick up your mat and walk.'

    People are allowed ALL of their emotions, including self- pity. Criticizing an emotional response leads to suppression of emotions, which get expressed in illness and destructive behaviors and habits. The key is to be aware of your emotions and meet them with the love and kindness and compassion with which God meets us, and they will subside. What we resist, persists.

      I’ve seen a person complaining and blaming others and feeling sorry for herself for decades. Not only did she make herself miserable, she made the other family members miserable and condemned everyone (herself included) to loneliness. In the end, it’s like she’s crumbled inwards or imploded. It’s horrible.
      So, even though I may feel angry and envious of people who didn’t have that kind of problem, I know Father Schmitz is right, I must look beyond myself to resolve that pain.

    This Covid isolation is weighing on me. I'm 73, live by myself, work from home, have a lung issue, and hardly see anyone. And so I seem to becoming way more self-centered, focusing more and more on myself and thinking less and less of other people...family, friends. When I can't sleep at night, when there are age related aches and pains, I do resort to this "felling sorry for myself." Prayer helps, but It is difficult sometimes anyway I I hope this Covid-19 crisis ends soon, because I need other people to care about. The TV, You Tube, Alexa music, etc. don't always cut it ! Being this alone is not easy, but I also can't risk getting sick. With my age and lung issue, getting Covid would mean "game over."

    Your own self pity is not only worthless, it’s also damaging. Instead, let God have pity on you. Give glory to God when you are in any kind of physical or emotional pain. God sees all of your pain and all of it is extremely important to Him. Give all of your pain and suffering to Him and he honored to do so. I’ve come to realize through my own experience that this is very powerful. Trust in His love for you.

    There are more....
    However, I still struggle....I do ask God why these things happened to me. I am trying to give up complaining for Lent, but it is hard when your life is so different from those around you.

I has been the foundation of my life for a very long time.

    Thank you for showing me that I’ve been so caught up in my pain that in reality I’ve been so focused on me feeling sorry without knowing it. ❤🙏🏻

    Thank You father Mike! I suffered a lot the past two years to achieve my goal; but everything went wrong. I was in self pity and hurting myself. Now I am on the way of rehabilitation and I found your lesson invaluable.
    May almighty God bless you!

    Thank you. Reminds me of a quote from Anne of Green Gables when Marilla says "To despair is to turn your back on God." I'm trying. As I deal with the last 20 years of my twin sister's mental illness and recent untimely death, I am trying.

    Oh, Father Mike this hit me right between the eyes. I have been feeling sorry for my self all this week . I didn’t have any idea why . You just made me see how selfish I have been. Thank you so much for your videos they always give me a way of seeing things differently .May God Bless you for helping me see things differently.

    This is amazing. Direct and very much waking me up before I fall into a slippery slope of sadness and yes self pity which I’m trying to stay away from..which led me to your videos. 😅your guidance( Jesus divine guidance) through you Fr. Mike is always helpful. That quote is what caught me and reminded me ❤ it actually has a personal message for me. I appreciate that. my grandmother reminds me of how Jesus was as a human but no matter how much the lady(gma) suffered she was always where her feet were and was always praying and remained focused. it reminds me to be strong. I am a wild daughter of Christ 😂 thank you Fr. Mike 🎉 you’re the best.

    Thank you, Lord, for letting me watch this video. This made me realized why i should not be sorry for myself. I always had a feeling of self pity once in awhile most especially when i feel like the burden is too heavy and is supposed to be shared between parents for their children. I felt i shouldered all the burden when i should have shared it with the father of my kids.
