It does not happen very often, but every now and then love addicts gets addicted to emotional pain and self-pity. I was addicted to self-pity because it was as close as I could get to giving myself some attention instead of caring just about my PoA. I also used to cut myself to feel alive and to have a reason to nurse myself when I felt no one else cared. This is discussed in the following article and in the book, Addiction and Grace by Gerald May.
The solution is to love yourself and let go of the pain as best you can. Believe that you are lovable and a child of God.
