I'm dieing inside.

Why do I let guys do whatever they want? Last night all this guy had to say was 'get over here' and I did whatever he said. I didn't feel anything, I was numb. I stared at this spot and kept talking to myself, trying to figure out what it was. I'm such a mess. I don't know why I do these things, why don't I just say no???

Thanks for the advice. The only problem with getting better, is that, first you have the cause of your problem. Then you also have to deal with what happens after. Its one mess after the other. I was doing real good for awhile. Then I just go and let someone treat me like a sex doll. Like I'm worthless. I'm so screwed up. I wonder how I can ever be ok.

You dissociated. That's how you got through what I'm guessing you have been through before? Stuff you could not escape with your body, so you went away in your mind.

So what happened is your old survival method came out, involuntarily. TOTALLY not your fault. PLEASE do not beat yourself up for this!
It is just something you have to work past.

You had your no taken away some time ago. You have to get your no back

Try practicing saying " NO!" loudly, by yourself. It might actually be really hard to do.
