yes these are definitely a sign that something went deeply wrong in your early childhood.
you might benefit like I did from this book on repressed memories
I didn't remember sexual abuse that occurred when I was 4-7 until I first deduced something like that must've happened to cause my behaviors and symptoms. we don't get powerful responses like your fear of the shower out of nowhere. something happened to give us those triggers.
Repressed Memories - fascinating & a real eye-opener for me
Secret Survivors - primarily about incest survivors (don't rule it out yet), but a lot of good info about general abuse
The Courage to Heal - Geared towards women, but good general info too. In many of the featured stories, people experienced horrific abuse and didn't remember it for years
I hope this helps. I encourage you to at least explore it a bit. You can always stop. One book I read (not one of these) took me a couple months because it was so intense and personal for me. Good luck!
