4. I don't think you are delusional, Denninmi, which seems to be what you are asking.

Quite the opposite. You seem to me to be seeing things accurately for the first time in a long time. Judging by your posts here, you seem to have it together way too well to be suffering from a delusional disorder.

You're just questioning yourself right now. Maybe a part of you doesn't want to believe that your life wasn't so great in the past. Maybe you are thinking that all of that stuff, even if it's true, has no effect on your life as it is right now. Maybe you are flirting with denial.

You are the only person who can confront your demons. A therapist can help you get through the process, but you have to do the fighting. Your therapist is kind of like your cut man and trainer in the corner of the ring between rounds. You have to throw the punches and take the blows.
