💔How i lost my reputation on Steemit because of a 'fake' friend

I would like to share what happened to me recently, which almost broke my heart. I joined Steemit around a month ago, and worked very hard each day to provide good content and to add value to the community.

Few days back i had a birthday party, i left my laptop opened and was logged into Steemit. At that point i was at 51 and a half reputation, going towards 52 as you can see on the image below:

While i was enjoying my birthday, i haven't noticed that one of my friends has used my laptop until the next morning.

When i woke up and checked on Steemit my reputation was back from 51 to 25 ~ zero, (100% downvoted by @adm and @blacklist-a) as it was when i first created my Steemit account. The life before my eyes collapsed. All my work each day was just worth 0. All my dreams, motivation and hope has gone away and i couldn't believe what i saw.

After some time i started checking what has actualy happened. I tried to logout and login, thinking that maybe it's a bug and my reputation is just not showing correctly, but unfortunately it was not.

After i checked my wallet i've seen thousands of messages sent that for 0.200 SBD i provide upvote, follow and comment, and then i knew that someone has messed with my account. I called my other friend and asked him who was on my laptop yesterday and he told me. And it was one of my friends which is not so close to me (now i don't consider him as a friend anymore), that basicaly ruined everything i've been working for in just one evening. After this i started sending back the SBD to people who have sent it, as i never wanted my account to be used for something like that, i just like writing and posting good content, and not spam other people to get their money.

I know i'm maybe overreacting, but i realy worked hard for quite some time and to see and realize that you need to start from 0 again realy hurt me a lot. I also know that it was my fault, as if i would logout of Steemit none of this would happen, and everything would be ok.

I just wanted to get this out as @Guiltyparties suggested , and i feel better in a way.

And if i learned anything is that if you're not using Steemit and someone else could access it, don't forget to log-out unless the person can realy be trusted.
