do you think you can suffer from ptsd from having such a long and difficult life full of setbacks and living in the streets?

Its certainly possible, depending on if it was traumatic to you and if its causing symptoms of it. Otherwise there are people who can go through such things without developing PTSD so It also kind of depends on the individual.

I know it can happen. My doc told me about all sorts of things which can cause PTSD. As hellion said, it depends on the individual. Each of us experiences situations differently and trauma to one is not the same a that trauma to another. Good Luck!
