For me it was a combination of childhood sexual abuse, being a young carer for my younger brother, having no emotional support from anyone and feeling invisible and hopeless. At the time I felt like I existed only to fill the needs of other people. I had no soul, no personality. I was alive simply for others to take what they wanted. I was a hollow shell and nobody noticed, or if they did, they didn't care.
