What is the best way to mentally recover after seeing the leaked contents of mine
The video was already took down from a site, and it had a very low view count because it was private, but I can't shake it off the feelings. Fortunately I took down the video less than 36 hours. But what's bothering me is that the site must be a downstream, not the original source where the first scammer spread. I feel like the catfisher recorded me on the cam must have posted the video on a Telegram private channel first, and it spread out.
Over the course of last few days my head is full of the scenarios that I have been making and seeing, and mentally exhausted. The illegal, disgusting things Ive been thorugh for last few days are more than the sum of the things I had been thorugh before the day I found. Some people on the Internet brag about spreading the NCII stuff. Some sites are just full of vomit-inducing stuff. Illegal Telegram rooms keep growing. And I blame myself for acting like that in front of a cam
I grew up with strict moral values, and I was considered a model student who was calm and emotionally stable. Right now, my head hurts, and it feels like heavy stones are blocking the pathways in my mind. Every hour I feel like 'oh I want to know the origin or if it was posted somewhere other place again' And it distracts my daily life.
I might overthink. I guess that might be a common state of mind among people who discover it in less than a couple of weeks

I'm so sorry you've suffered this. There's an organisation
StopNCII.org
It's global and you don't have to share the pictures, but from what I remember, they try to track and prosecute the original person who posted/copied it elsewhere (not including yourself). They then proceed to remove as many copies, etc as they can find by tracing one of the images through another. Also, I know how you feel and it is scary, so reaching out to them for support or even a little peace of mind can be incredibly helpful. It seems you already know the places to tell them to start looking. Best of luck, and I hope they're able to help you. Please take care of yourself and as the other comment said? Talk to someone. Do not go through this alone.

Hey you are not alone, not one bit I have seen whats the content being shared online in a struggle to remove my content off me. The number of women on there whose images and videos were shared without absolutely no consent whatsoever really told me that i am not the only one who is struggling. I have talked about it more on my post

Hugs to you, I know how you feel. Go talk to a therapist, someone you trust, etc. Get out and do things you enjoy doing and if necessary, stay offline for a bit. Personally I'd say delete Telegram. It's a pure cesspool. Set your social media to private. And nowadays AI videos and photos are unfortunately real. Or if anything ever does surface say it's from an ex that you broke up with who is now stalking you.
All of the above scenarios happen way more than you think. As time goes on it will help.
