Why am I so scared? What am I so afraid of?

I was diagnosed with GAD, SAD, and depression about 6 months ago. The depression and anxiety I am working on but something still feels off. I am extremely hyper-vigilant, especially at night. It's like I am waiting for something bad to happen or someone to break into my house and try to kill me. I don't sleep at night. I may lay down for bed around 11pm and not actually fall asleep until 1 or 2 pm, and even then I wake up multiple times after I finally fall asleep. I am always observant of everyone around me, thinking that someone if going to pull out a gun. There is nothing that I can think of from my past that would cause me to be this afraid. My parents fought 24/7 growing up. My dad was emotionally abusive to my mother and sometimes me. I know he was physically abusive as well but that is where it is hard for me to remember. I remember old memories of their fights and have heard a lot of stories but I myself cannot put together a full memory of any of the incidents. My dad came home drunk every night right when I was about to fall asleep. My parents would yell at the top of their lungs and I swear every time I thought I was going to have to call the police. Every night, I cried myself to sleep and most of the time, my mom would come and sleep in bed because of my dad. We would both just sit their and cry and talk about how we need to leave.. I am not sure if this is enough of a reason for me to be scared for my life though.. I know when I hear loud noises, like trains, loud music,or people yelling, I get freaked out, like if something bad was happening right now no one would know because of the noise. I still feel like there is something I am not remembering.
