Self-hatred is a sin since the Torah says, love your neighbor as yourself (וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ). You dont have the right to abuse or despise yourself, since doing so contemns the divine image within you. You have a moral duty, then, to honor the miracle of your life and to extend this same honor to others who likewise are made in Gods likeness. You cannot curse yourself because that wishes a curse upon others, for the very same reason. You must turn away from self-contempt and honor Gods love for your life. Hebrew for Christians
