Hmm...I'm wondering if you have heard of cognitive distortions? I think this is what you are experiencing, and it can be worked on in therapy (are you in therapy, by the way?) Sorry if I'm way off base, just my thoughts. Here's a link to a psychcentral article about cognitive distortions, if you're interested:

Your post also makes me wonder...is there anyone in your life who has told you that you're awful, an infection, etc? Perhaps you have been told these things that aren't really true. I will say it clearly:
You are not an awful person. You are not an infection.
