I'm really sorry I don't have any good advice, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone, as I am currently struggling with this problem too. I'm pretty sure it's common for people with low self-esteem to have trouble saying and accepting good things about themselves, and with that, naturally, comes physical symptoms associated with bad emotions. I also find it nearly impossible to tell myself and believe I am a good person, and I often find myself crying and feeling sick just thinking about it, so I can definately relate. I know how hard it can be.
I'm really very sorry that I don't have any advice right now, I just wanted to say you're most definately not alone in this, and I can empathise. <3
EDIT: Do you think you could say to, or write a letter to the social worker/group psychologist explaining what you have said here? They are professionals, and should understand and not judge you. Perhaps they could help explore the reasons why you feel this way? :) It's very important to find the root cause of the feelings, then once you've tackled this, it becomes a lot easier to think more positively about yourself. :)
Take care *Hugs* x
