Childhood SA or am I just paranoid ?

This sub is sex related so thought it would be relevant here…. Lately I have remembered a childhood memory that I believe is significant, but I can’t remember specific details, is this an indication of repressed sexual abuse? A little of background on me and why I believe I have repressed memories: I have borderline personality disorder (the believed cause of this disorder are physical, emotional abuse , and neglect and especially sexual abuse. ) I have had bulimia nervosa on and off for 7 years. I also have PTSD, GAD, depression, OCD, body dysphormia, alcohol dependence disorder, and skin picking disorder- these can be caused by child sex abuse and the fact I have all of them seems that this is highly probable to me. So the main memory that’s sticking out to me: I was VERY young so I don’t remember everything and idk what age exactly, but I remember multiple times were I was in a pool and my dad would act like we were playing some type of game. He would have this creepy look on his face and act like a completely different person and I remember he would go under the water and grab me but I don’t remember exactly where or anything else really, but it happened quite often I know. I do remember I would get upset when he did this and tell my mom I wanted him to leave me alone. She never did anything that I know of. And when I think about this memory , I get very emotional and depressed and cry.

Some other weird things I remember from my childhood: * Asking my cousin at a Very young age to touch me sexually and act as if they were a doctor doing an exam on me with an object * Playing “sexual games” with my best friend at a very young age. This involved objects. I remember trying to not let my parents find out and be secretive about it * At age 9 or 10, I had to go to the nurse because I was wiping too hard when I went to the bathroom and there was TONS of blood from wiping so hard. (Part of ocd I’m guessing?) * Spending a lot of time in my closet instead of my room playing * I remember around age 7 or so believing I was evil and that I was going to hell and would cry and tell my mom over and over about this concern * At a very young age I remember inserting objects into my body such as q tips for no apparent reason * Around 5 years old I remember masterbating frequently . * At age 13, I was sexually assaulted. I was kissing a boy and he started touching me in places I didn’t want and I told him no and moved his hands but he ignored my no and kept touching me. At the time I thought this was completely normal and didnt think he did anything wrong. * At age 15, I was on a family vacation and I remember my father making sexual comments to me. At the dinner table I was wearing a crop top and he said exactly “your boobs are so big, are they the biggest in your class?” It creeped me out considering he’s my dad * I’ve caught my dad multiple times staring at my body in a lustful way when I’ve been around him in a bikini. * Recently (I’m 20 now) he barged in my room when I had a thong on and a push up bra. I told him to leave and that I was basically naked but he just stared at me for 2 mintutes straight and started saying random stuff to distract thst he was just in my room to look at me. * I have confusion regarding my sexual orientation and go between wanting sex all the time to being disgusted by it * I’ve treated my body as an object before and let myself be used by men

So, do I sound crazy or would this make sense and explain all the issues I’ve had in my life? Opinions please? Is this normal?

The difference between being right and being understood

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.
