Hi there,
You have done really well to get in touch with me about this. Being forced to take part in or watch sexual things is sexual abuse.
It is also against the law for someone to pressure you into sending them nude photographs. This person was also making physical threats and emotionally abusing you. He is still treating you badly so its understandable that this is having a big impact on how youre feeling. Our page about relationship abuse may give you some useful information about this.
Your doctor is someone who can support you to cope with depression and anxiety. It is your choice how much you share with them, so you could start by talking about how you are feeling without saying more about what happened. Going to a doctor will mean you get the right help and treatment if any is required.
It can also help to look at ways to make it harder for him to get in touch with you. Maybe blocking his number or changing yours or ignoring calls from him would help. These are some simple ways to send out the message that you do not want to have contact with someone.
It is a good idea to share what's is going on with someone you trust. If you are still feeling a little unsure about talking to anyone else and want to find out more, please remember you can talk to a ChildLine counsellor at any time.
You could also have a look at our message boards where other young people may have posted about similar feelings or experiences and what they have done to cope and to make things better.
Take care,
Sam
