I would go to the uni health department and tell them that you have very low self esteem and would like to be counseled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. If they can't do it, try to get it outside the uni. Ask for a reference if they won't do it. CBT is proven to successfully treat depression and anxiety through improving your self image, your "self-talk" processes, mental fallacies, and learning to be kind and more realistic toward yourself. It vastly improves ones self esteem and helps you get rid of those nights worrying about stuff that is not true. In a sense, CBT gets rid of distortion and makes you a realist, one that is kind to you.
As a very last resort, buy some CBT books, especially ones with workbooks, and try it yourself. One on one counseling or group therapy is the best way to learn it. It takes time, work, and lots of practice.
You are a perfect candidate for CBT. Please do yourself a favor and give it a try. Best of luck to you!!
