I cannot help but see a connection. I do not deny you feel terrible about yourself, but it does seem you had a lot of "help" to feel terrible about yourself.
Whether or not you regret hitting the "submit" button, your superb post echoes what many on these forums experience in one way or another. Thank you.
This is exactly the kind of writing one could (should?) copy and place in the hands of a therapist.
