Was I molested? Are these repressed memories real?

Lately, I keep having these random memories coming to me. Most of them are bad feelings and images. There is one image in particular where I must be 5 or 6. I'm laying down on my back with a man laying over me. There was also a recurring nightmare I had as a child where I'm on the stairs in front of the apartment where I grew up playing with my doll... and a man dressed up as a clown picks me up and carries me off. I've also had disturbing dreams as a teenager (when I was 17 on up) that I was being raped. Also, there are a lot of other things in my life that I never understood why they were happening. Like, I was depressed on and off since I was about 12. I have tried to kill myself by overdose several times but changed my mind at the last minute. I have cut myself, hit myself, and even bit myself. There are other things that I'm not comfortable sharing online. But I am very scared and depressed and confused about what all of this means. If you have had similar experiences or if you know anyone who's had these experiences, or if you just want to offer helpful info or support, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share it. I need help.

    Blaming anything onto anybody outside of yourself is not a wise way to treat your life as you are giving power to others onto you. You will have a great start by loving your ownself as another person outside of yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror, notice all those wonderful things about you that your loved ones and friends told you about yourself. You are such an amazing and a precious gift of life on earth which is so unique and irreplaceable by anything or anybody in this big universe. It is not only your parents who created you, it is the "Creator" Himself who created not only your parents but all this amazingly beautiful universe. Start by walking barefoot on a wet grass any morning, seeing sunrise or walking on a beach, watching sunset, looking at birds, this immense sky and earth.

    Wish could say more but you got the point :)
