I don't know the answer TD, but I definitely do this sometimes. I don't think it's for sympathy or stroking though. Sometimes the weight is just too big and it is more than I can do. My T says when I am like this just to do one small thing. Sit on the porch in the sun for a few minutes. eat one healthy meal. etc. Something really really small that will make us feel less guilty for wallowing. When I look at all the crap I need to do to get better, I get worse. But sometimes (and only sometimes) if I do one little tiny thing it doesn't seem so hard after all.
