have you sought any professional help before or been trying to do things on your own?
most universities have a free counselling centre, they have different policies- some will refer you to appropriate services, others will see you regularly it just depends on your centre. and they are free if you are a student and at campus so you don't waste time travelling to appointments because you are already at uni. they also have more than one counsellor so if you don't click with one, you can see another

Have you ever been to counselling before? it isn't a walk in and get fixed solution but having someone else who knows about your problems can help. they can also be helpful with more practical issues helping you when you aren't well and your brain is not working too well. and having someone who you can talk to and trust not to tell anyone else things or spread rumors like classmates can sometimes do. You don't have to commit to long term counselling to go and see them. you don't even have to tell them a lot on your first visit. i would suggest just make an appointment and go see what they can offer. if you hate it you don't have to go back.

good luck
