I know what you're going through. I was raped at the age of 8 and like you, I withdrew from men completely but then changed later and started sleeping with everyone and anyone. I thought to myself "I've lost my dignity so there's nothing for me to lose" so, yeah. A friend of mine ended up having to get me out of it because she could see it was destroying me.

Being raped/abused is a traumatic experience for anyone and it's natural you want to forget about it but sleeping with anyone and everyone won't do any good in the long run. It may seem like the solution now but it really isn't.

Eventually, you'll find someone who loves you for who you are, I promise you that. I now have a boyfriend who is extremely understanding and my close friends are amazing. They're all there for me when I need to vent. Anyone worthy of your love and friendship will be there for you and won't leave just because of your problems.

Poison me, blind me
Do whatever you want to do
I’m yours to destroy
All I want is to be free"

Trying to find myself again
Am I remembered or forgotten like a passing stranger?"
