Managed to get on cam for an hour and in that time a customer freaked out, my dog had a panic attack out of nowhere, and I got a migraine. I'm taking the $48 I somehow made in the last hour and saying fuck today. I'll try again tomorrow.

Camming today and banned a non token holding user who was violating my room rules in my bio, and over the course of an hour or so, he came back with 12+ new accounts with variations of my username+derogatory comment. Continuously said he was recording my show, was using a proxy so he kept coming back, threatened to post it on Craigslist and other forums. Also made disgusting comments about my looks/weight even though he was in my room wanted pm's [idiot]. Lost all my mojo just trying to stay on top of this fucker and I bailed an hour in having barely gotten started. It's like my 6th time camming for crying out loud. Creep

I was just bumped down to $8 on freewebcams, from $15. The worst part is, it was done without any explanation or announcement whatsoever! I just happened to notice it while checking my time as I was streaming. I am just in shock right now, this is plain shady.

I don't even have a right to be posting here right now. I haven't "cammed" in months. I still do phone. But my cam work but is ALL indy and old regulars, which means, I have been making shit. But basically camming sucks because I feel like I made a lot of mistakes and I wish I could change things but I can't. I'm trying to undo some things but the damage is probably done, I know. Trying to clean things up. Then I'd LIKE to relaunch my cam persona but I don't know. The fear and paranoia kind of weighs so hard on me. I don't know if it's worth is anymore. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place. I just needed to vent. I think that i'm talented and I can be great at this work but maybe I'm just not the right person for it. idk. /ugh

Why is everything so shit? I've been on cams 6h today and hardly made £8.50, SM is a ghost-town and even phones are slow. Considering my entire self esteem right now hinges on making £200 in five days, two of which are phone-only days, I'm feeling awful and my depression is just spiraling. Thank fuck I stopped being suicidal almost a decade ago, because how I feel right now definitely makes the cut for an attempt.

I've been on for almost 2 hours.. and nothing. People coming in and talking, but no shows or tips. I'm offering something I wasn't before, I'm putting in a bit more hours too, and I've got nothing to show for it. Last week was also bad and I had hopes for this week.
This is really worrisome for me but I'm trying to hang in there and tell myself it will get better soon!

It's so bad on SM that I'm going to try working on a new site for the first time ever...even one of my regulars on SM who came into my room started asking for stuff that was against the rules and I had to tell him no. I can't even get a show from my single most faithful regular! Why cam gods, why?!

Camming sucked tonight because I had to wait 2 hours for my first private, and it was sucker on phone chat who asked to meet up with me. I told him I don't do that, he went silent and hung up after 1 and a half minutes. What an ugly cunt of a a man. After that, as soon as I'd get into a private, I would disconnect in the middle of it and it was SO annoying.

09-25-2015, 06:44 PM
Oh my god STREAMATE WHAT WHY WTF. I made $1,200 last week. I am struggling to hit 500 right now before the pay period ends tomorrow. For the first time in 2+ years of camming I had to log off because I was feeling like I was going to lose it and start crying on cam. So zapped right now.

It sounds like it's super bad for a lot of us right now, hang in there BBs.

I feel like I'm going crazy over here. I mean, part of me feels OK because I'm not the only one, but the other part of me is like....what the hell is going on.....Obviously, some people are still making money. But me, personally. It's been a bad September. It was a bad summer. It's probably just me & I need to work harder and change things. I don't know. I'm struggling bad.

I really want to cry this week. Haven't even made $100 in 10 hours. I don't know what's going on. I changed my hair color 3 weeks ago, but feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and I keep seeing my regulars but no one is talking or tipping lately!!

This is starting to become slightly scary and I hope that some mods/sites can shine some light on what the hell is going on!! Seeing higher members struggling is making me clench my teeth..has the industry gone into the ground? Pissed wives/gfs pulling plugs, smashing tabs? What?? :(

i still love camming, but men are awful. i had a scummy one last night that took advantage of me. he wanted to see me exercise. fine, nice, whatever. i messed up in a number of ways because i never exercise and don't know how to do it properly. no warm ups, "faster bb", and "no breaks bb!" for about 6 minutes until i was collapsing. i was squatting, getting down to the floor, and then jumping up as fast as possible. after a few minutes i was slowing down and was struggling to get up. "bb go faster! don't slow down!" fuck you.

i told him i had to end the show and left. this was maybe the 3rd time ever i've ended a show instead of going until they were broke. maybe i should have, idk. i was scared he'd want a refund or give me a bad review if i didn't end it.

i ended my night afterwards because i could barely move my legs and i was struggling to bend them. i still can't and woke up a few times in pain. i'm so angry about this guy and i'm also mad i didn't know better. now i know a bit more about exercising safely?? ugh.

What a fucking retard..no warm ups? I wouldn't pull a muscle for that loser!

I did a show like that earlier this year on Cams. I just about puked... He was saying the same thing "faster BB!". I had to stop about 8 mins in... the guy was rude & distasteful. Sorry you had to go through that.

i usually try to refrain posting in here until it builds and builds. 2 bad days in a row. I'm ready to hit the hay. I found my first recorded show on a popular tube site. I am getting tagged to death with hurtful things & financially my bank account looks terrible. I'm gritting through this with every last breath in tact. This is so damn hard but I'm getting through. I feel like breaking down and crying too because personally things are not the best either. I may sound negative, but sincerely I'm not. I'm being the most positive person going through this all with my sanity in tact. Just feel like I have nowhere else to write these kind of thoughts.

This weekend has been brutal. Been making way less money than I'm used to. On top of that, found a couple fleas on my cat. It hurts him because he's been biting the fur off his back and front paws. I feel awful for not catching it earlier. All I want to do now is cry because nothing has been going right. I want to buy him the top of the line flea prevention meds because he is clearly allergic but all I can afford right now is capstar pills because these guys just want my time and attention for free, it is hurting me physically and emotionally.

Camming sucks because my income just drops more and more daily. I've been on for nearly 3 hours now and made a whopping total of 3 dollars. Neat. Guess it's time to start filling out applications because this is mentally draining and for the effort put in, my bank account is not showing what it should.

I really think along "Get the fuck on" should include "Stay the fuck on" I had days run slow where I only made $20 at the end of 4 hours, I also debated on giving up and sending in applications, that night I got on and made $100, just to sit and listen to someone talk about their expensive car and travel vacation to some weird island. (I forgot and this was a while back) They are either in other chatrooms, not available or room popping till they find something that sparks their attention. (what I often do when horny and bored) but they are most certainly there..nothing you can do about it but, cam!

Made $5.50 last hour and a half. Also I looked at my tags today and someone had tagged me with "chubby". Now I have no reason to be upset over that but it's not an adjective that has ever EVER been directed my way before and it sent me into a major insecurity tailspin. Not feeling great right now.

My internet crashed out and this of course made me like two hours late from cam. One of my favourite regs had to bail and its just made me angry. Like I couldn't help the net crashing out but I still feel like I lost a ton of money and was just stupid for not having a backup or something. Urgh.

^^^ this.
Have a toothache from hell, allergies are kicking my ass the last few days, got my lady friend today, I randomly got dc'd in the middle of talking to a baller reg of mine thats been MIA for the last 6 months and I couldn't get either page to load, and when I did I came back to an influx of asshats that made me wanna /wrists and my baller reg never came back.

I can't afford to do it, but I think its safe to say that tomorrow afternoon will more than likely be a 'personal day' to get my head on straight and finish the rest of the week strong. This shit is getting to me tonight. Between the allergy meds and the painkiller I just took for my toothache and not being able to eat cause my mouth is in pain, I'm leaving early and giving up tonight. I need a day to recharge.

SO many freeloaders asking how I'm doing and/or pretending like they are going to take me private and then instead asking a bunch of questions and then leaving. Ugh! I never post in here. Usually I'm super positive and grateful but this morning has been suckville so far. I look hot as fuck too- they tell me but that's all they do! LOL About to get back on and give it another whirl. Was in free chat for almost an HOUR without anything. Smoking some pot in my massage chair then getting back on. Le sigh...

Time for positivity! I am grateful for camming and how it pays my bills and lets me self schedule. Like last night, I was at a spa... I'm spoiled and camming usually rocks! :)

Freeloader central tonight, wtf.

The one reg that stopped by pulled me into private at the beginning of my shift, and it was going great until I ended up having a random cough attack (I think I choked on my own spit from screaming/moaning with my head tilted back, lol). I was pounding away at a dildo, and I coughed so hard that my pussy made this tight contraction and the dildo sort of shot itself out. I apologized but I was also laughing a bit as I thought it was pretty funny... but apparently he didn't, and bailed without a word. Awkward. >_<

Other than that I got one gold show going, and only because some random newbie tipped $50. Then two hours of free chat, with no one I gave a shit about.

So two shows in three hours. Nope, fuck this. Making clips instead.

I can`t cam today because I got one kitten from the street in the weekend and now one of my big cats scratched his eye .I stressed,I panicked and in an hour I have to go see a vet.Already afternoon here and I don`t want to cam at night to fuck my sleep again so ...I`m having a day off without wanting .Maybe I`ll get to do a short shift in the evening but I normally can`t log in for short shifts,I like the $$$ too much to log out after a couple hours.I sure didn`t need this stress today.

Trainer XXXXX: You can call me an asshole but I don't know if I wanna help you get in shape for some other guy.

This is the text I received today from my nutritionist/personal trainer. Wow, just wow. Apparently when he asked me if I had a boyfriend the answer should've been "No." considering I've been dating my new bf for 2 weeks and I've had my personal trainer for 4 months. So your ego is bruised because you thought you had a chance with me? Wow, how professional of you to assume I'm doing this for anyone other than myself. I'm so fucking annoyed right now. I don't do shit for other men. This journey is for ME as I'll be the only one standing after both trainer and bf are long gone. O.o The nerve of some people.

I was trying to stay out of here but despite my best efforts at optimism this week has SUCKED! Three straight days of total crap.

Even if i hit my low goals it's because I stuck out hours and hours of $0 until a reg pops up. Where are all my horny men at who consistently want shows and not all squeezed in 1-2 hours of my shift?

Watch out, this is a book. Sorry.

I'm currently living with a roommate who has showed ever-increasing levels of crazy. I told her a few days ago that I was going to have a friend over, and she immediately asked if it was a man. When I said yes, she told me that if I was going to have sex I had to go to a hotel, that I couldn't have sex here. I laughed at her and told her she couldn't tell me that, and she said, "Yes I can. I'm the primary lease holder and it grosses me out, so you can't have sex here." Yep. I laughed and walked away to my room.

Fast forward to a few hours later, about 8:30 pm, when I and said friend are hanging out in my room, making each other laugh and having a good time. Crazy Bitch Roommate from Hell stomped up the stairs, banged on my door, and said that my friend had to leave in 10 minutes or she was calling the cops. She kept yelling things like "This is not a whorehouse!" and coming up with lovely and evocative names for me like "Sperm recepticle". We actually weren't having sex, kept our clothes on the whole time. I told her to leave me alone, repeatedly. She opened my closed (no lock, unfortunately) door and holy shit, was she inebriated. She lurched towards me and my friend stepped in her way, got her out the door, closed it, and braced his foot against the door. He urged me to call the cops and it took me a minute through the shock (I've had some bad experiences with domestic violence, and this triggered them big-time) but I did. The op got my info and urged me to stay upstairs and away from her, and when the cops came, they only talked to her. When they left, she yelled that when she got back she was going to kick my friend's ass and called me a whore and got in her car and left. She is on probation for a DUI so I figured I would probably not see her drunk, but I was wrong. When she came back she was much more subdued. My friend stayed the night to make sure I and my kitty were safe (Thanks to whichever goddess sent me this friend to have my back).

So now I'm at the point where I have to figure out what to do now, but luckily I have had another friend step up and offer me a place to stay for a few weeks - unfortunately I'm having to stay in this room a few more days. It's definitely affecting every aspect of my life including my health and my work, so hard to work when you're jumping at every noise. I'm just trying to remind myself that it's a temporary thing. Things will get better, dammit, if I have to kick them in the balls.

Trainer XXXXX: You can call me an asshole but I don't know if I wanna help you get in shape for some other guy.

This is the text I received today from my nutritionist/personal trainer. Wow, just wow. Apparently when he asked me if I had a boyfriend the answer should've been "No." considering I've been dating my new bf for 2 weeks and I've had my personal trainer for 4 months. So your ego is bruised because you thought you had a chance with me? Wow, how professional of you to assume I'm doing this for anyone other than myself. I'm so fucking annoyed right now. I don't do shit for other men. This journey is for ME as I'll be the only one standing after both trainer and bf are long gone. O.o The nerve of some people.

What the fuck? Did you save the text and report him (to whoever he reports to)? That is extremely unprofessional.
