Moderator note: Read this carefully before you post in this topic!
I have had to split many posts off of this topic, as they were "off-topic." All were regarding webcam blackmail questions that are answered in other topics, mainly http://blackmailscams.com. None of them had anything to do with the intention of this topic, which is "How did you recover from the scam?" Your insights about how to deal with the aftermath, mostly in your own head, or attitudes, or changing perspectives, behaviors, changes in your life, etc.
Read a bit of this or all of it before posting, and you will get the idea of what belongs here.
The stuff that gets posted here that does not belong end up in The Dump, and may not even be answered as the answers are in other topics that the poster already read once or is too lazy to read or is looking for a different answer when there is none.:

I've just been blackmailed, "Where do I start again?" http://blackmailscams.com. You can click this link or click one of the HUGE BUTTONS on every page of this forum on the left side at the top and bottom of each page, marked "WEBCAM BLACKMAIL HELP."
Now that that is out of the way, are you curious what the staff here is up to besides posting thousands of blackmail scam/sextortion forms a year? Click here to find out:
