Indulge excessively, in self-pity perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
wallow
(Other definitions for wallow that I've seen before include "Indulge excessively, in self-pity perhaps" , "Luxuriate (in mud, muck)" , "Roll about as in water or mud" , "Roll around as in mud" , "Lie about in mud or water" .)
