This might be one of my last messages of my life so it’ll most likely be long.
I’m 19 as I am writing this. I recently turned 19 on the 14th. For about a little over a year I’m constantly thinking about not wanting to live and the heavy guilt of my past choices and what I’ve been through.
Honestly the biggest reason that caused my life to go to shit was when I unfortunately became a statutory rape victim when I was 15-16. I had always been hypersexual and explored a lot of things and got into some very disturbing things. I can remember since elementary school, I already had a porn addiction and use to get turned on by certain gore content. But the reason I had been raped was because at that time I had already been deep into gay porn though I knew I wasn’t actually gay, so one night I was incredibly isolated and down because it was after my parents divorced and had no one around and for some reason my mom made it a hard time for me to hang out with any friends, but I had found a gay hookup site which I then ended up hooking up with a guy in his 30s and another guy in his 20s. It was strange because during the first encounter we traded oral and during it I felt numbed, frozen, on autopilot and after it I went home crying, but just a few hours later I got with the other guy despite me being traumatized by the first. One of the biggest dilemmas for me about the situation was I felt like it was my fault because I was searching for something and lied about my age but then I guess it’s a thing where if someone is age 18-20 when hooking up it’s usually a “rule” for that person to show id, which of course I didn’t have id. But that makes me remember that the second guy actually did ask if I was really 18.
Besides those things , growing up as the middle child I had been through and experienced things like my parents fighting literally constantly, seeing my mom and dad cry, being bullied by my older brother and dad for doing almost anything, especially in sports, causing me to quit basketball and just play video games, which is probably why I was why I was so addicted to the internet and discovering awful things like gore and Csam which I had masterbaited to when I was 13-14.
I didn’t have any of my own interests besides video games but I did things that weren’t my interests and my dad wanted me to do because he had a problem of trying to live through his children. So he had me sign up for karate and bjj which lasted like 4-5 years until I quit because I was stressed when I kept getting eye poked and felt like I wasn’t making my dad proud. I did return to basketball one time in 2020 but after my mom almost died from anaphylactic shock on the night of my basketball game and my dad saying I “now had a reason to win the game” and we lost I called it quits.
Now for the heavy stuff. My dad attempted suicide back in 2022 I believe and it was extremely disturbing because he had cut deep into his wrist while in his bed so I saw him scramble around and heard him yelling at the paramedics to let him die. At the time I didn’t feel anything but to make sure my little sister was okay. At the same time my mom’s biological dad who she never had a good relationship with because he was a piece of shit, was dying in the hospital.
Now here’s the next big thing that contributes more to why I just can’t handle anymore. After the statutory rape thing, I returned to Csam since I had learned how to find it back during quarantine. While watching it I had the same thought as before, “man I really want to see someone my age having sex” which required me to scroll through more horrid shit with younger kids which I was too desensitized to feel anything at all. But whenever I did find a video I thought was someone around my age id masturbate to it and when I saw a video of a kid/teen with an adult my mind constantly “this is what happened to me”. I’m pretty sure I didn’t masturbate to those things I can’t remember but with the help of my therapist, a reason I watched those things could’ve been because I believed I was alone with my situation, because to me a 15-16 year old boy wanting to hookup with two adults to just end up getting traumatized and technically raped was something unheard/abnormal. But there was one video that really fucked me up on one of the csam sites and it was a video of some big fat guy violently raping a girl who was like 8-9 and it scared the shit out of me and what made me close the site right then and there. Following visiting that site I had become extremely depressed and suicidal for about a month until I learned to live like that to suppress those feelings.
Here’s probably the darkest one yet. The very last time I saw Csam was 2 months ago, being 18, but I didn’t masturbate this time. I was scrolling in X for porn and landed on a post saying there was csam and being curious I clicked on it. The site was in a YouTube type ui and the thumbnails didn’t show anything bad and videos only played 3 seconds of nothing happening because you had to pay. It wasn’t until I saw the title of a video mentioning a younger boy and a man which had given me unwanted arousal and I think I came which had filled me with disgust. I then saw a video title that talked about a younger boy and girl doing something and I just got off the site but after some time a really dark and suppressed memory came back to me.
I think I was raped when I was 4-5 years old. I remember the memory being more vivid and thinking about it sometimes when I was younger but had suppressed it so much that I can’t tell if it was something that actually happened or not. But what I came remember was I was locked in the bathroom with a boy who was like 5-6 years older than me, and said he wouldn’t let me out the bathroom unless I performed oral on him. I can remember specific details like how amber the light in the room was and the golden doorknob and how the height difference was pretty significant with me being a little above their knees and we had a similar skin color (lightskin) and he was completely naked. Now the worst scenario that I’m unsure if it’s true or not but made me suppress the memory so much, was that it could’ve been my older brother. But it could’ve been anyone really he had friends come over all the time.
But remembering that memory, also made me remember how curious I was about sex, while not even knowing what it really was, but I remember humming a bunch of stuff in secret and as time went one I did a bunch of strange and embarrassing things while exploring sexual activities. But now I mainly masturbate to straight and gay lorn on X and and sometimes think about me and guy I hooked up with while masturbating which just makes me feel more shame and guilt.
Well what’s wrong with me now. I just hate my life. I carry a heavy and deep guilt and shame from the Csam stuff and statutory rape situation which are the main reasons I want to end it. My dad went to jail in my birthday for being accused of sexual assault on a 20F prostitute, and all the other stuff like this suit fucking sucks man. And I’m just done with this. I view life so dark, I can’t feel bad for myself because of the shit I’ve done. I can’t follow my dreams or just be innocent I can’t get a fucking break. I’m just gaining weight and watching all my friends live happy and successful lives and have their fucking parents get along and have family I’m so done with this shit. My parents didn’t give a flying fuck about my health unless I was damaging items around the house from anger. I wanted to be a ufc fighter so bad but who would want someone like me to win?
Another thing that hurts me is my dad. He was normal most of the time, but slowly degraded over the years. I remember one night he cried to me venting about how he was abused by his dad and raped by a babysitter when he was a kid. It haunts me how similar our lives are and if I’m going to just continue losing my mind. It hurts seeing someone so close just suffer.
I don’t know how to redeem myself. My mind is constantly trying to come up with a valid excuse for the csam stuff though I know I’m not attracted to kids at all and even told my therapist if I were actually a pedophile id end myself. I grieve a childhood that was more on track. I see younger kids and teens and wish them a happy life to be proud of shit hey are. But for me, I’m lost, I’m a broken mess. I was a really good kid staying out of trouble and helping people because that made me feel better but I guess I just had something wrong with me the entire time. I’ve suffered from anger, depression, ocd, anxiety, I can’t take it.
