English term or phrase: I feel ugly
As this reminder of him infected his mind, I suddenly felt sick. No, scratch that, I don't feel sick. That's not sick. This is...ugly. Yeah, I feel ugly.

(note: he is thinking of someone who used to love him, but no longer does.)

i feel ugly
自己嫌悪の塊だ、どん底だ


Explanation:
I guess that's a feeling closer to that he's feeling as he's obsessed with some kind of self-hatred in relationship with that someone.

If I explain literally:
I find myself a chunk of self-hatred = 自己嫌悪の塊だ
I'm the unhappiest in the world = どん底だ

Someone, please help clarify.

agree  Kurt Hammond: I have to go with this. The literary meaning strongly includes meaning of the feeling that oneself is ugly. Of the answers given so far, this is the only one that correctly captures this nuance.

彼を愛した人物が親なのか恋人なのか、どんな関係化にもよると思います。
愛された人に対して、もう愛されていないという事実に悲しんでいるのか、
それともその人自身に対して嫌悪感をいだいていたからその人のことを思うと
気分が悪くなるのか・・・
