The answer

You erred in supplicating against yourself, but the door of repentance is open, and it is hoped that Allah will not answer those supplications. Therefore, repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness, have a good opinion of Him, and replace those supplications with beneficial ones, keeping your heart attached to Allah, and taking the means for supplications to be answered.
