You can't control who you're attracted to.. Lots of people go through the same thing. They find themselves attracted to someone they know they shouldn't be. Being attracted to him is not a crime but if you end up getting together, you are setting yourself up for pain anbd you know it before hand.
Stop beating yourself up about it though. Maybe you should go out and try and meet new people or something... Talk to you're friends. You're likely to find someone who's been through the same.

Nobody is perfect. You could do some work on your self esteem by reading up on it on the internet or from books from the library.

I would start by telling your boyfriend. You need to tell someone you feel this way, so someone can at least understand and just be there for you. It's difficult if you're depressed and nobody knows, because it can seem as if you're alone. Start by telling him how you feel. Also, the other posts below are right. Nobody is perfect, so stop trying to be perfect and start trying to accept yourself. You're not a bad person, and you need to know that. But please make sure you at least tell your boyfriend how you feel.

If you can't afford therapy or a doctor, I suggest finding someone you can trust and talking to them about how your feeling. Someone you can confide in, who wont judge and will be supportive, may be what you need.
No one's perfect and you can't control who you love. The point is you still do get up and you're looking for help. That's a good start.
Good luck
