Be honest...is it over for me? (ex leaked my nude!)

My ex boyfriend sent my nude to some people on a forum in DMs and one of those leaked it on that forum. It has my face in it and my chest area exposed. I cannot get it removed from that forum nor can I report my ex for leaking those photos (for reasons I cannot disclose).

Afaik theres only 1 thread with my nude leaked, it could easily blow out of proportion though and those people can keep posting it

I just want you guys to be honest, is my life over? Is there any point in carrying on and trying to work hard or will the photo haunt me forever. I have not slept for days and have been crying day in day out
Your life is not over. I don't think it will spread as much as you think. And I know you said you can't report your ex, but that's literally illegal if you didn't consent, so maybe you should make sure that's something you can't do.
If you’re under 18 I believe you can use a service that will remove those sorts of images off of the internet for you

if a company finds that photo when i apply to a job position, is it then over?

Even then, I would say no tbh. Like I'm sure your employer would understand if you explained how it was a non-consensual leak. However, I would be deeply concerned if your employer ever found it or brought it up since that would reflect negatively on the sort of things they're searching for. Relax, and try to find ways you can take down the photo or have your ex held responsible for what he has done.

I don’t think a topless photo is likely to have any serious consequences. It’s not scandalous, other than you’ve been this victim of a crime. What he has done is despicable and I would at least take some legal advice before concluding there’s nothing at all that can be done to challenge it

research right to be forgotten. also look at the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative and Without My Consent, which provide resources and support for victims of non-consensual pornography. you might well be able to seek legal support, as sharing someone's intimate photos without their consent may be a criminal offence in your jurisdiction.
Happened to my daughter.She managed to get a lot taken down but never come up in her job history since.

I am more so worried about the social/moral aspect, what if people in my university find out and get sent the nude? Its scary and its making me very paranoid

Glad to hear most of it got taken down. what platform(s) where her nudes leaked if you don't me asking? Was it something big like reddit or facebook or a smaller forum?
Report the **** to the police

Understand and thats why what he did is so bad. But to be honest no one would really blink an eyelid about it and a dim view is taken of people who do this. Hold your head high and don’t worry about it

Take a deep breath (do it). Your life's not over. Many years from now, you'll probably even laugh at the idiot(s). This episode in your life, it won't kill you and it will make you stronger in facing the world, no matter where you'll be. Meanwhile, do what the others have suggested above (research online about what you could do to get your photo removed by websites, search engines, etc). You could lodge a police report too, put it on record that your topless photo has been posted without your consent. You're the victim here, you didn't do anything wrong. Walk tall.
