Hi, does it sound like trauma?

...See more I had a pretty traumatic childhood - I saw my mum try and kill herself, I've seen my dad get so smashed due to pills he wasn't supposed to drink on that he fell through our stairs banister and smashed his ribs, I've been taken to a refuge and my mum has been in rehab, and a bunch of other crap. I've never been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder but I also detest talking to doctors and counsellors and don't ever really tell them the full story. I don't have flash backs thankfully, but sometimes I can't not think about some of the stuff, and there's huge gaps in my memory - I know the stuff happened, but I don't actually remember it happening, if that makes sense. I remember being there and seeing it happen, but they're not smooth memories. I can't remember the order of anything that happened, and usually just guess based on something in the memory I do have - I think I remember mum trying to kill herself in high school because I remember one of the teachers wanting to talk to me, and I was scared they knew, but it was about something else. Sometimes I feel down for no reason, I'm rubbish at keeping friendships and I'm often pretty confused about how I really feel. This might all be run of the mill depression, but if someone could just say 'it might be' or 'it probably isn't!' then maybe if I end up being ready for counselling one day, i'll know where to start! Thanks guys
