I'm not great with advice but I would say try not to be too hard on yourself. When you catch yourself thinking - I should be able to do this or I should be doing this better - stop and be kinder to yourself. By putting these demands on yourself you will only be making things harder.
I was first diagnosed with severe depression and first started self harming during the end of my second year at university. My third year was extremely tough but I managed to finish university with a 2:1 degree. I know our situations are not the same but I hope you find a little strength from hearing my experience.
Take care of yourself and good luck with your studies.
