I need to vent but it could be considered NSFW as well (ED, self harm)

I (F17) don’t have the best relationship with my parents, so it comes as no surprise that i turned to the internet for love and support when i was younger (13ish). This began to have its issues when i turned to the older, more adult side, where i would often have lovely conversations with people about all kinds of subjects. This made me not see the trees for the forest, however, and sometimes people would pray on my youth and my willingness to be loved and praised, eventually leading to me sending nude pictures of myself to a stranger for the first time.
This man must have been roughly in his 30s, and he knew I was young, but that didn’t stop him from telling me how fat and disgusting i was, and how saggy my boobs were, and so many horrible things you wouldn’t even say to someone who was confident in themselves. Since then i have had hundreds of issues with my body and have lived a life of binging and purging, constant weighing myself, and hurting myself. I’m not even in a better place now, i can just talk about it more, which makes me feel a little better.
If you’re going to take anything from this story, make sure that if you’re going to send pictures, it’s someone you 100% trust, and check up on your friends. Sometimes the difference between trying and failing to find acceptance on the internet and years of a downward spiral, is your friends and their willingness to help you when you’re lost. I’m truly sorry if this is not what you were looking for on a Friday afternoon but i needed to vent. thank you for listening

if you want to know in detail i have a few posts about it recently, but the long and short of it is: i got baited into sending nudes to a man at least in his 30s when i was 13 and it’s had major long term ramifications on my mental health
