Hey so I’ve a few posts on here over the few weeks, I just want to know, will I eventually forget about this one day or will it be stuck with me forever, I am an anxious person in general and I’d feel like my life would be ruined if these pictures get released, it happened to me last year but it’s the only thing I think about all the time and I’d just like to hear back from other victims if this does end
Hello, so basically I’ll just get straight to the point, I am always insanely anxious and mentally drained anytime I go about my day, the thoughts annoy CONSTANTLY and I am so sick and tired of it, I always get wrapped up in the thoughts that something could resurface and I can’t look at myself the same anymore because I fell into this scam, the screenshots looked so real, we were talking on a dating app and then we brought the conversation over to telegram and at the time I stupidly went onto it, no one told me how dangerous that app actually was but the damage has unfortunately hit me, the constant worry, the freak outs, the what ifs, it’s all too much for me to handle, went therapy for a bit, the exercises helped however I can’t seem to get happy anymore, my head is just giving up and I lost interest in talking to my friends and just everything tbh, can’t deal with the stress and mental toll it caused me, the fake screenshots of those group chats left a huge imprint to were my head can’t just ignore it, i genuinely can’t keep going on like this, I feel like I want to end it all and unfortunately I think that may happen soon
So basically this happened over a year ago now and I’ve been having extreme PTSD since it has happened, it’s been affecting my hobbies, my friends just everything overall, I became depressed because of it, the scammer threatened to post it on streamable but when I pasted the link it said “the video isn’t available” so I’m assuming everything is deleted, the scammer found my instagram account, the scammer made a group chat that looked really convincing and he had my junk at the bottom ready to send, my brain has that picture ingrained as if something could resurface so it distracts me from other stuff that would benefit my future, no got anything but the fear and trauma is still there, I tried everything but the pictures still live in my head rent free, idk what to do anymore, I’m sick of hiding it all the time, I’m just constantly looking for confirmation that everything is gone because those screenshots the scammer sent me on telegram looked so convincing and true it’s so difficult to just move on due to the PTSD of everything
