I wasn't sure if I should write anything, because I don't think I am the person to help. I'm not in the same situation you are in. However, sometimes I do get down on myself and my life. In fact, I just had that today... crying b/c "I'm so stupid, and I can't do things right." It's silly, but I think if I didn't have to worry about what other people thought I would feel better about myself.
I know you said that you "Hate Yourself" and that is something that is really hard to help. But, a lot of times I think how we see ourselves makes things seem that much more that way. Like, sometimes now when I do something that I know people will think poorly of me for I think to myself "You know what, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not stupid. There are so many people out there who would have reacted the same way, and just because some people don't agree with me doesn't mean I was wrong, or stupid for making a hasty judgement."
Also, when I get depressed about things sometimes, it is just so much easier to lay there or sleep, just ignore it, just feel nothing. But I've realized that that feeling - that feeling of nothing (though sometimes pleasing) is really not that great. I have to force myself to get out of bed... to take a shower... and do something I enjoy. I know it sounds lame, but when I think good thoughts, when I realize I really am a great person and the things I do are great and I'm smart etc, and when I think good things about my life and what I'm going to do and then actually do them... it's so much better. I am just telling you this because I know you are really great too (I don't really really know you or your situation, but you seem like a great person, and sometimes things don't go the way we want them to or we say things we don't want to say etc... it happens to everyone).
I'm sorry if I didn't help at all. I know this is really difficult... sometimes I just think people should be more (positively) open with others, b/c I think there really are a lot of people out there who do care etc (people sometimes just dont know the right thing to do or are too afraid to open their mouths). Also, I think sometimes people don't know how to deal with other people's problems. Sometimes we don't want to deal with other people's problems because it gets us down and then we just can't help the other person... etc.
I wish you the best in everything, and I hope you get into that program you want to get into and that all works out for the best.
