How can I cope up with this? I hate myself.. that's dangerous.. I know.

[Canonp]

I think I have GAD. I don't really know because I have not been diagnosed yet. But everything adds up. Many sleepless nights, extreme worry. Yesterday I thought I'm gonna die until I shouted for no apparent reason. I really hate myself. Bad times and good times I feel I'm all alone. And all these is caused just by worrying and I can't stop. My financial status cannot enable me to go for counseling. Please help.

Hey Canonp,

Trust yourself. You don't need a diagnosis to know what you feel. Spend some time on a search engine learning all about anxiety disorders, and how to take care of yourself (coping mechanisms). Coming here to share is a good way to connect and be a tiny bit less alone.

The sleepless nights are awful. I know how terrible that is.

I think your idea about going for counseling is great, and if you call a local hotline where you live they should be able to connect you to a place that has a sliding fee, or some other accommodation.

It is awful to hate yourself. Maybe people have hurt you and blamed you for stuff and you believed you aren't to be loved. Think about if maybe people who act like that are idiots who have their own problems.

I hope you can catch up on your sleep soon. Missing sleep just seems to make everything else worse, doesn't it?

Take care of yourself. There are a lot of people here who have anxiety problems and can relate to what you're experiencing.

Maybe play a game or watch a happy video today. Listen to some music that calms you.

I hope today is a better day.

I definitely think you came to the right place, I'm new, but keep asking and keep reading, I've found this sight such a tremendous help. Sometimes it just helps to know someone else is feeling what you are.

Can you maybe try some self help books? Therapy is more helpful but I mean for the time being you could try some self help books! wouldn’t hurt
