Commenting on the page required turning control over to DISQUS 1/, NOT an Official LDS tool, so here is my comment:
Charity can also be to ourselves, self resilience. I suffer chronic pain which I call a rolling sea. I save photos in a folder I named Supernal, links in a study diary, and Tweets: photos are screenshots from moments I was touched in LDS videos and images from LDS websites; links to positive LDS content; Tweets, supportive comforting quotes. Acts of kindness to myself, when I am jolted awake in the night or unkind acts of others drive me beneath the waves, these stored acts of self-relient mercy help me along with prayer and faith to get back on top.

Latter-day Saints Keep on Trying – Dale G. Renlund
Saying that God cares a lot more about who we are and who we are becoming than about who we once were does not mean that the Savior is dismissive of the consequences of an individual’s sin on others. In fact, the Savior cares infinitely about those who suffer hurt, pain, and heartache because of another’s transgressions. The Savior “will take upon him [His people’s] infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, … that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities” (Alma 7:12).
I’ve never had a person unjustly cause me harm whom I did not forgive, I worry about the Savior suffering for their sins and rush to forgive them to avoid adding to the Savior suffering by my failing to forgive; but I worry that my forgiving them will cause them not to repent resulting in the Savior suffering to have been in vain. However, I try to avoid them being in the situation that provided the context that afforded them the opportunity to cause that harm; thereby, trying to reduce the Savior suffering. I give them time away from me to change to overcome the evil influences and then I go back just long enough to see if the desire to let evil overwhelm them again to harm me, hopefully embracing them again in friendship but sometimes cutting the time short to protect my Lord again.
