So when you told your doctor about this did they suggest with getting in therapy? Have you read some litature perhaps?
Years of of being physically abused, every day, does a lot to the mind.
All I can say it taking baby steps- my childhood was 25 years ago and I still have issues with it and learning things still.
Is there anything that perhaps make you feel safer when you go to bed? i.e. a certain pillow, a stuffed animal, a real animal, a certain item. Something that you can focus on good things and feel safe when you wake up from your traumatic past.
I.e. Some times when I am feeling really down, I go ask my cat to come sit with me, usually he does

I pet him, there are even sometimes when talking my Boyfriend will go get my cat and we will pet him... I know it may sound silly to some but I always had a cat/cats when I was little, they were comfort when I was little and even as an adult they are comfort.
I hope you well on your healing Makememe...
