I don't have much self-esteem left and I'm not entirely convinced I'm able to do stuff at all.

I think the key to becoming good at something is to find a field that's challenging, interesting and involving for you. Of course, that's the hard part. But there must be something you like? I took up Astrophysics when I finished high school, simply because I found the subject matter cool. I couldn't care if I'd be able to get a job later on in life as an astrophysisict (I didn't in the end). But I sure as hell didn't sign up for something "rational", like Law or Economics or whatever, simply because I found those fields boring, job opportunities notwithstanding.
Think about what you find thrilling, exciting, challenging to do. Something that'll make you to stay up late working on it,
without having to! Then go for it. The most rational choice is not always the best one.
