Advice for not throwing a pity party?

I spent the whole weekend harboring resentment for several people who I love because they were somehow contributing to my poor mental health. Whether I just wanted them to pay more attention to me, read my mind and offer me help, or reach out just asking to see me, I was seething thinking of how mistreated I am and filled with shame because I felt that I don’t deserve any better either. I’ve come out of the funk now but this has been a pattern for me. When it gets really bad, I’m so eager to assign blame – to others and to myself. I don’t want to keep this up; I wanna take charge of my feelings and stay responsible for how I cope and how I ask for help from others. Any advice for getting out of the blame loop??
