My name is Monica Lewinsky. Though I have often been advised to change it, or asked why on earth I haven't. But there we are, I haven't. I am still Monica Lewinsky.

Overnight, I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one. I was patient

zero. The first person to have their reputation completely destroyed worldwide via the Internet.When I ask myself how best to describe how the last 16 years have felt, I always came back tothat word: shame. My own personal shame, shame that befell my family, and shame that befell mycountry, our country.

When the report was released online on Sept 11,

1998, I was holdup in a New York hotel room,staring at the computer screen. I spent the day shouting "Oh my God" and "I can't believe theyput that in", or "that's so out of context". And those were the only thoughts that interrupted arelentless mantra in my head: I want to die.

There was a rotation of worsening namecalling and descriptions of me. I would go online, readingthe paper,or see on TV, people refering to me as tramp, slut, whore, tart, bimbo, floozie, evenspy. The New York Post's page 6 took to calling me almost daily the portly pepperpot. I wasshuttered.

I lost my reputation. I was publicly identified as someone I didn't recognize. And I lost my sense ofself. Lost it, or had it stolen. Because in a way it was a form of identity theft.

Today, I think of myself as someone who, who the hell knows how, survived. Believe me, denialcan be pretty useful still. But these days, I need it less and less, and in smaller and smaller doses.But having survived myself, what I want to do now is help other victims of the shame gamessurvive too. I want to put my suffering to good use and to give purpopse to my past
