You cannot blame yourself, never mind persecute yourself, for how you feel. But you can rejoice in the battle of controlling and sublimating those feelings.
Every small victory within yourself is a major triumph over the darkness of this world. Indeed, this is why this darkness was placed within you, in order that you may transform it into great light.
any psalms to read snd say in english to help with this too Reply
Darkness can be so black at times that a flood light is needed to even enter it without making your way thru it. However, one tiny spark of heavenly goodness found beneath the nooks and crannies of our spirit, mind, body or heart, or even all of those together, can give us enough strength to take on the journey and succeeding in overcoming what seems to be a lost cause into a successful battle of accomplishing brighter feelings that allow at least a glimmer of hope in achieving a new outlook on life.

Victory
Our victory is achieved when we know how to come out of our darkness.
We are trapped within a world that focuses on my self. The spotlight is on my life and needs to feel good and comfortable.
We don't feel the other as part of me. If we recognize this truth then we would not dare harm the other for my needs.
Only when we realize that we trapped within our small world, we can raise this deficiency as a request to the Light that is on standby, ready to bring you out of yourself, your confined, dark, limited world.
Gradually you will discover a beautiful new world outside of yourself. A world driven by the power of the Light which enables all to realize the benefits of everybody passing this abundance to the others who art part of you.

Congrats How would you even begin to transform this darkness? Reply
Go to your local orthodox rabbi, then he will direct you to yeshiva or seminary and learn Torah. Torah is the answer there you learn how to accomplish 613 plus 7 mitzvot Reply
With love. By loving. Through true love. For the sake of Love.
Since G-d is Love’s essence and the essence of G-d is Love, then through prayer for love to arrive, come in, take root, and grow stronger and larger in and around us. Perhaps by practicing submitting to G-d - trusting in G-d’s power and never withholding love from others, the soil of our hearts and minds is tilled, turned over, broken up, and softened, as it were, and made ready to be the type of field in which authentic love of G-d can sprout. G-d’s vintage unadulterated strain of love seeds transform this darkness. While we may have power over ourselves and influence over others to silence expression and temporarily dominate or channel it, we can do nothing so powerful as change a heart or mind at its roots. I love Love! ^.^

This inner muk that destroys the positivity that grows...it is quite hating and grows that way is what I see about it...I'm not an expert or a Chassid...I couldn't possibly understand nor use much of the knowledge I have read on Chassid however this idea of growth without inner hate is the only way to grow and I have learned that from the Hassids.-Thank You Reply

The primordial light
Shalom,
Thank you for this positive thought.
Someone who expresses the inner light through action forward will be able to live the Creator's Glance
... for all excess of potential energy comes out of the nefesh, and grants fresh space when the Heat of the One will speak and decide
Heat of destruction for the unexpressed, Heat of honor and peace for the thankfull ones, the active ones, the hopeful ones and the loving
May we be amongst these chosen :)

"vayiichi erev v'yechi boker" = and it was evening ,and later it became day. We see this as a natural phenomena. Similarly , we end up having periods of personal darkness because the world is not easy, because relationship are sometimes destructive, because we are confused, and have dark feelings.- even personal loathing. If the personal darkness is continuous and relentless, time to seek an adviser that would help get out of there. ( Rabbi, psychiatrist, psychologist.) Yet , if it is occasional , I would argue it also a natural state, (like the night) which permits us to try to analyze ourselves and the situation we are in; from that analysis light will emerge. At first , the light might be small, but with time it might get bigger. Trust in H' is the first step. There was a book I read as a teen called: " Nobody promised you a rose garden." YES! We must deal with the thorns that emerge in our lives , and emerge winners. How? Trust in H' and trust in yourself,
