But, I'll try to talk to my worker about it the next time I see her.. If I can muster up the courage at least.

I wonder if you have PTSD. Your about me sounds like it. And what you say here about your feelings are much like the emotions of a person who has PTSD. Perhaps if you bring it up with the social worker she or he may find you a therapist that may specialize in it. Then you could discuss your past and see if you infact are experiencing it. It would be very good for you to get the right therapy for that. PTSD has its own kind of depression that is a little different from regular depression. You should really make sure that you have the correct diagnosis LFMN.
Go easy on yourself, you can get better and be a better you. Growing from experience can only come if you address the experience and know what it means.
