TW. Been at sexwork since i turned 18. It has been horrible. I kept telling myself its ok because I need the money but it's not empowering.

Looking back I was groomed, exposed to sexual content and used as a child and that bs lead up to me pandering to greedy men.

Tired of people arguing the price of ME with me and trying to get it free. Tired of stalking. Tired of threats. Tired of dealing with horrible people spewing out fantasies of pedophilia, rape, violence.

It has been harder and more draining than any regular job. Plus I didn't even make enough to leave a regular job. Had to juggle both.

Enough is enough. This subreddit has helped to encourage me to reflect on why I was in this. What lead up to it. Is it worth it?

Moving on to better things and working on myself now.

I just want to say thank you
