Does being homeless count? Being so poor one cannot drive around due to lack of gas? Having a boyfriend steal from you? Being so unsure of one's mental health one cannot eveb trust oneself?

I think those would be considered life stressors rather than traumas in the sense of PTSD.

On the other hand, people with histories of trauma are more likely to end up in the sort of situations you describe.

I'm sorry if you are going through all that. Must be very difficult.

Don't worry so much about "labeling" what is "wrong" with you. We all have something "wrong" but perhaps it is more important to find out resources in your community to help you improve your situation.
All of us have life stressors, and experiences that have marked us in diferent ways.
My heart goes out to you. Please contant any of the non-for profit organizations in your area, they should be able to help you in some of the areas where you need help, and they should be able to refer you to other organizations that can help where they don't help.

Take care of yourself please.
