Used up, unlovable, fat, ugly, disgusting, never good enough... That pretty much sums up how I'm feeling on a daily basis. There is no escaping these thoughts for me, I've tried so hard to be positive and put on a happy face. I'm so fake that I have even tricked all my friends into believing that I am this cheerful, funny, out-going person. I mean god, Id be a phenomenal actor.
I hate to sound so negative about life, but this is the only place I can let out my true feelings. I went through 7 years of being sexually abused by three different men because my mum sold me to feed her drug habit. She let them abuse me and do what they want with me. I lived with one of the abusers for 2 years. I never left the flat and was locked in a room 90% of the time. I was his sex toy and accepted it. He even told me he loved me, and cared about me, and that our love was a secret romance. That touching me was a way of showing affection. I fell for it, and as much as I hated the sexual abuse I craved his love and attention. Id never felt any kind of love before, and all I wanted was for him to love me. He also rated me how well I've done sexually, and if I did badly I always felt horrible, like I failed.
And this is why I have PTSD. I also have ADHD and bulimia, life is clearly going well.
Seriously though, I feel terrible and so guilty, like the abuse was my fault. I just want to give up. :(

For one, none of that was your fault.
For two, a child needs touch and love and affection, and if the only way they can get that is putting up with revolting abuse? they will.
I lived that. I did that. I was my dad's little sex toy...or rather one of my alters were....but it was my body that was getting messed up by having sex with him five nights a week, so pretty much.
I'm a worthwhile and valuable person(s)...you are too.
It's ON THEM that you were not treated as the valuable lovable worthwhile person you really are.
It's not that you're worthless, its that you grew up around really evil people who felt like dumping all their shit on you.
But it's not your shit, is it?
What help are you getting in meatspace? You probably need more than just a message board can give you.
BTW, my girlfriend has ADHD, it's fun having parallel conversations with people, really it is.
I am sorry you had to go through all that. I am glad you were able to vent them here. Please don't give up. You are not alone.
Vent it out. Rant away. It's miserable to do it, but it does help over the long term. We're here for you.:-)
