There's a couple of practical suggestions elsewhere in the forum for dealing with self-pity. Practical suggestions aside, there's another method discussed in the BB that you may find of value. It's on page 86.
"On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity , dishonest or self-seeking motives. Under these conditions we can employ our mental faculties with assurance, for after all God gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives."
