Sweetie,
I can't imagine anyone here hating you. I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. I read your post above, and that sounds really frightening. No wonder you can't sleep.Is there anything you like to do when you can't sleep? Read? Play a computer game? Surf the web? sigh, I tend to eat. Now this sounds grandmotherly, but a nice cup of tea might help. I drink something called "Sleepy Time" that is mostly chammomile. It helps relax me when I'm wound up. How about a nice warm bath?
And just breathe. Concentrate on the feel and sound of your breathe as it flows in and out. Think of nothing but the smooth and rhythmical flow of your breath. If your mind wanders away from your breathing, just bring your attention back and keep on going. This is a good exercise for anxiety and relaxation.
Take care, and please know that you are in my thoughts.
