How do I stop hating myself - #22226

Grog

I hate myself very much. I wish I was never born. Subconsciously I cuss myself everyday. How do I solve this? My sleep schedule is fucked, I have no real friends and I can hardly trust people. I hesitate to talk to people. In college too whenever there is half hour break after practicals, all I can do is sit alone outside college on a public bench under the sun. I feel like I am useless. I sit on first bench in my class because I am too afraid to talk to people and am friendless. I feel like I don't deserve anything. Is there any end to this?

It's understandable to have moments where self-worth comes into question. Ayurveda sees the mind and body as deeply connected, with your mental state affecting physical wellbeing. When it comes to feelings of low self-worth, it's important to first acknowledge that these thoughts are common and don’t define you. In Ayurveda, mental health relates greatly to your doshas—specifically Vata dosha, which governs movement and is associated with anxiety and fear when imbalanced. Here's what might help balance Vata and increase self-compassion: First, consider your daily routine, known in Ayurveda as dinacharya. This helps to stabilize and ground Vata. Try waking up and going to bed at consistent times. Quality sleep is non-negotiable, as it's vital for mental clarity. Ideally, aim to get to bed by 10 p.m. and wake up around 6 a.m., as this aligns with Kapha and Vata times in circadian rhythm, stabilizing your energy. Diet also plays a role. Warm, nourishing foods can pacify Vata. Focus on cooked vegetables, wholesome grains, and warming spices like ginger or cinnamon. Avoid cold foods and drinks, which can increase Vata imbalance. Further, explore grounding practices like meditation or yoga—particularly those that focus on the "Root Chakra", linked to feelings of safety and worthiness. Simple breathwork, like alternate nostril breathing, can calm the mind, aiding in reducing anxiety. Engaging with community can be daunting, yet we're social beings. Start small—engage in activities or clubs where you share interests with others. It's not always easy at first, but these connections can grow over time. Lastly, if feelings of worthlessness persist, it's essential to seek professional help because sometimes what's most needed is a compassionate listener. An Ayurvedic practitioner, mental health counselor, or therapist can offer support tailored to you. Remember, reaching out can be a step towards finding balance and self-acceptance.
