I don't know how often I'll be on SW or in Chatzy for the next little while. I've been told that I need to start being more strict with my being on bedrest because it would appear that I haven't been really resting lately. :D

Disclaimer:Not asking for medical advice, just want to know what dosage of L-Theanine seems to help those who take it the most? Read online 1200 mg is the daily max. The bottle says 400 is. I just know 600 makes me feel good. No anxiety, no self esteem issues, and no sleepiness. I'm curious to hear if others have taken a higher dosage like mine?

^^ I take 400 mgs. I'm very sensitive to anything I put in my system, so I guess that's all I need when I'm feeling anxious, because it calms me right away.

I seen some combos with L theanine in it.. have you girls tried any of those?? I have to go to the health food store again to find something else because I am still waiting for my nerve tonic to be delivered.. I cannot work without something!!....LOL.. it turns out to be a disaster!

^^If that's all u can get your hands on, I would say take it.
Oh, regarding the cluster headaches you mentioned, you might want to get feverfew. I got more of a food allergy headache/migraine, according to my acupressure books.
I knew, as soon as I put that sugary cupcake in my mouth Sunday night, as a reward for not having to go to jury duty Monday, I would wake up with one. I wont do THAT again!
The pressure points around my nose, and next to my eyes, relieved the pain.

Oh cool!.. Yea my headache went away yesterday .. I THINK! maybe it was some kinda detox symptom. I am not prone to any kind of headaches.. So I went to the health food store and I am not familiar what is out there on the street as I only order Dr Schulze products .. but I got Irwin Naturals Stress- Defy and some liquid gaia valerian root just in case for a lil kick.. this stuff doesn't put me to sleep at all.. Just calms me down...LOL....but it has L-theanine in it ..bunch of other sedating herbs.. and some fish oil , b vitamins GABA etc etc.. it was $32 bucks.. but I don't care because I make more money when I am calm and chill.

So, I mentioned my horrible, never ending periods here before. Well I'm still working on them 10 months later. I swear, sometimes it feels like there is something trying to claw it's way out of my vagina. I had been taking the vicodin I had leftover from last year's surgery, but I ran out of those last month.
The last time I was supposed to go to the Dr for it, we were going to schedule exploratory surgery, but I found out that I had lost my insurance. So I went and got married to be on the BF's/now husband plan. Finally got to go in today. I told my Dr I wanted her to rip everything out! I'm over feeling like shit 24/7. She calmed me down and talked me into trying hormonal therapy before leaping into a surgery that could have me out of commission for a month. While she didn't give me a prescription for pain killers, she did tell me to give the hormones a week to kick in and if I'm still in pain to call her. If, after 3 months, the hormones aren't working, then we will discuss a hysterectomy. I am so glad she is willing to entertain the idea of me going for a PERMANENT solution if pills don't work for me.
I am sooo looking forward to having a normal life.

Did you have super anxiety and panic attacks? Did the Dr Schulze stuff really help with them? My allergies are so bad today and its causing my anxiety to go thru the roof. I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin. I am not fond of taking pills from the doctor because Xanax was a bitch to kick.

Well?? I have PTSD and I would have to say pretty severe anxiety .. just the littlest things make my heart race and start shaking!... and so I just bought this new stuff.. I don't think that GAIA valerian root works that great.. I was triple dosing and wasn't really feeling the calm.. the stress defy does something..>> but don't take on empty stomach, kinda made me feel ill so I ate a piece of cheese. Not sure if it works that great for severe anxiety... I only tried these today. I sure do miss my Dr Schulze NERVE tonic it is SUPER POWERFUL and really does the trick compared to these other things I tried.. I also tried Herb Pharm relaxing sleep and I went through 1 ounce in 3 days at the tune of $14.99 a bottle.. no thanks!...so I called Dr Schulze and apparently they never got my order! so she ordered my stuff to ship out ASAP!.. Dr Schulze NERVE tonic is a definite try!.. it's $28 bucks a bottle but lasts a lot longer than all this other stuff cuz it's so strong! so yea I am disappointed by the things I have tried at the health food store so far. I find them to be just as costly and so much more weaker.. of course I haven't tried EVERYTHING but do I want to?..lol ... if there is anyone who is reading this who can recommend something that is super awesome for anxiety?? let us know!.. I know what JAC recommended but what else is there?
P.S... in the Dr Schulze Nerve Tonic he puts Valerian, lobelia, Passionflower, hops, black AND blue cohosh, skullcap and wild yam.. I also take the Female tonic daily to keep them hormones normal.. these two tonics are great paired together.
With the Female , Nerve and the Liver tonic.. I got off Alcohol.. I cant hardly stand alcohol anymore..LOL.. who would have thought!.. even last nite I went out to dinner and tried to drink 2 glasses of wine and my body kept saying NO don't want it.. I even tried to drink when I was out to dinner last Tuesday and I had 5 drinks that nite.. something that was a piece of cake to handle in the old days.. I threw up like crazy that nite and I continued to throw up 4 more times the next morning.. My body just does NOT want me to drinking alcohol anymore.. I was totally fine with ONLY 1 glass of wine and no more .. 2 was pushing it and I was not liking it anymore.. then I go home and heart is racing and I am tossing and turning and slept like shit , then I started feeling depression and paranoia.. just off of 2 glasses of wine...LOL..
So for anyone who is wanting to kick the alcohol or anything else try this protocol I concocted... Female, Nerve and Liver/GB Tonic.. for me to get to this point of complete rejection of alcohol it has taken a few months .. I much prefer using the herbs over anything at all I feel in complete control and I am sure my kids much prefer my calm self alot more... It saves your life.

Went to the doctor about my weight loss yesterday. It was great at first but 40 lbs later my skin is starting to sag. She sent me for an ultra sound and the tech told me she thought she saw what the problem was. I've had problems with endomitriosis in the past. I've had a few surgeries so I figured that was it. Instead of sending me home she told me to sit in the waiting room. An hour later she called me back again. My doctor was on the phone.
She said lots of big words that I didn't understood, so I asked her outright. Is it Cancer. She didn't say yes or know. "It looks like it could be". My head started spinning. I don't know what else she said. I don't know how I drove myself home. I skipped a scheduled cam session. I've never done that before. I spent the day trying to figure out what the hell my insurance wants me to do.
I'm supposed to have all these tests done as soon as possible, but they need prior authorizations that take days and referrals from a doctor that is on vacation. It can't come from any other doctor. Worrying isn't doing me any good. Got to forget about it and get in the mood to Cam. If I make enough it might be worth doing a test or two as self pay rather than waiting for insurance just to put my mind at ease.

It will be ok. I had cervical cancer twice and I'm better now. You have to breathe and take it day by day. The tech also has no idea what it was. Last year they felt a weird mass on my boob. I had to do a mammogram and ultrasound. After being scared out of my damn mind it turned out to be a cyst. They cant tell what it is on there, they can just see something. They sent me to a surgeon who is the one that diagnosed it as a cyst.
Hang in there and don't think the worst, it might not be anything bad at all.

Its time for me to admit that I have a massive anxiety issue. Like really fucking massive. To the point where I melt down and become useless. I have terrible fears of being without money as I grew up dirt poor and its stayed with me, so every month end or even every mention of money just triggers a melt down for me. I pretty much do everything myself as I have no familiar or significant other support ( due to the fact that I have neither in my life) and shit gets tough sometimes. As a child I was also very highly strung, but its gotten worse over the last few years.
Are there any alternatives to hardcore drugs? I only ask because I don't want to take anything that could potentially screw with my ability to do things or lose weight etc, I was on some antidpressents a while back and all they did was make me fat, so I don't want a repeat of that.
The anxiety isn't there 24/7 and it doesn't happen when I cam thankfully, but I would like to go one day without breaking out into cold sweats over little things or money things. I need medication to keep it at bay but am weary of pill happy doctors etc.

YES!.. we discuss Anxiety all over this thread, You have many choices.. L- Theanine, Dr Schulze Nerve tonic, Valerian, Herbs for female hormones.. Naturally I recommend Dr Schulze products because they are EXTREMELY POWERFUL.. not so weak as the herbs at the store... And I am also trying out Irwin Naturals Stress Defy which seems to help?? but more like maintenance..you also need another product to take the edge off like nerve or valerian.
And you sound a lot like me.. I have been so traumatized for 42 yrs straight by EVERYONE!...LOL... so I feel as you described.. I find keeping doped up on herbs just helps so tremendously!.. I am calm, I don't worry I am not paranoid out of my mind about the future, I cam more effectively..

Try the natural remedies.Like valerian or passiflora or a combo of those two for the beggining.Also magnesium.Is strongly reccomended for those who suffer of anxiety to get magnesium.I have huge axiety at times and it got worse a few years after taking some pills a psychiatrist gave me.I had to go for natural remedies because I dont want to be addicted to pills or get worse again after I stop them.I am in the same boat,when sometimes I dont have money for 1-2 days I become anxious ,more than I usually am .I have many fears but the biggest is of getting sick and dont have money to get help as I`m not having insurrance and I pay for everything.In the previous years I`ve been sick a lot and my fear makes sense,without money you can`t get help from a doctor or pay for pills.Natural remedies will make you less anxious and they don`t give addiction.

Now wish that Dr Schulze Nerve tonic was available in my country too.I read what u posted back about it Anonimous and I googled but damn,no way I could find it here.I will look better into ingredients and maybe I can find something similar here.I see it has valerian and passiflora(passionflower) which I`m already on and they are helping,whatever else has in it must be making it more powerfull than just those two.
That sounds so much better for my insomnia episodes than my usual valerian pills,they are good in the begging but in time not having the same effect.

I'm really sorry you're going through this. What I'm going to say isn't the cheapest route, but here it is. I've had disabling anxiety and social phobia all my life, with panic attacks that are triggered by mildest conflict or anticipation of conflict. (For example, things like making a phonecall and getting the wrong number. Just the fear alone has stopped me touching the phone for years.) All of this was then exacerbated by years of spousal abuse that had entirely dissolved my sense of worth.
The one and only thing that's made a significant difference to my quality of life has been cognitive behavioural therapy. ("The other CBT" LOL.) Now, therapy probably is expensive where you live, but there are usually discount clinics attached to counselling colleges, e.g. here in London I was able to see a trainee shrink for £20/hr, a third of the normal price. And trust me, it's sooo worth it.
Why? Because CBT helps you figure out what thought patterns cause your anxiety, panics and phobias, and arms you with tools that help you think yourself out of one when you do have one. I've had 20 CBT sessions last year, and my ambient level of anxiety has gone down to a barely detectible noise, and I honestly get maybe a couple of panic spikes a month. When I do get them, I know how to think myself better. All of this has required zero hard meds.
CBT is not pleasant to go through, because it makes you face some hard shit from your past, but for anxiety it's a huge, huge help. Like, I totally make phonecalls now, and am kicking ass in grad school besides.
Good luck!

Now wish that Dr Schulze Nerve tonic was available in my country too.I read what u posted back about it Anonimous and I googled but damn,no way I could find it here.I will look better into ingredients and maybe I can find something similar here.I see it has valerian and passiflora(passionflower) which I`m already on and they are helping,whatever else has in it must be making it more powerfull than just those two.
That sounds so much better for my insomnia episodes than my usual valerian pills,they are good in the begging but in time not having the same effect.

I still need to try this! I haven't had time to order but I am doing it ASAP!
Check out L-Theanine. It works better for me then any prescription drug I've ever been prescribed.

Some brands are definitely better then others. This is my favourite brand. And it is chewable! I don't know about you but I take so many pills a day that it is nice to not have to take one more. LOL!

So unbelievably thankful for this thread!!! I'm new here and soon to be new to camming. I struggle with Fibromyalgia, severe acid reflux, and anxiety and depression. Of course I'm currently uninsured so all are going untreated :/ The Fibro is the worst. I wake up and every movement makes me want to scream in this cold weather. Simply getting to the bathroom some mornings feels like a marathon. I have intense pain especially on my left side, which lately has been kind of hanging out in my left hip and knee. This worries me with camming as it is extremely painful to lay or stay positioned on that side for long. At night I sleep on top of a body pillow to lessen the pain when I inevitably flip on my left side. The fibro keeps me in an almost constant state of pain, especially since I currently have no meds to even attempt to alleviate anything. It's kinda sad, because you get used to certain levels of pain, as normal to where sometimes I can't even tell how bad something hurts. The fibro alone depresses the shit outta me. It sucks ass to go from a relatively healthy, active, young person to one who can't sit too long, or limps, or loses their balance for no reason. I hate it.
The acid reflux can be a real bitch. Some days I survive on cupcakes or anything bread like. It's about the only thing that wont come back up, if it's bad, other days I just can't eat, and somehow I'm still fat lol.
Anxiety and depression are just a cluster fuck of everything. The feeling like shit all the time, hating myself at times, I'm in my own head too much, I think too much. Most of the time I get the anxiety attacks when I have been systematically ignoring everything for weeks. I call it my lockboxes. If something is wrong, or I feel the depression creeping up, I just tell myself not to think about it, and I don't. It's like a mantra " don't think about it", I'll think about it tomorrow", " I'm not worrying about this.". I put it in a box in my head and forget about it. The anxiety attacks start when the lids get blown off all those boxes. I can only ignore things for so long until I just blow from bottling it all up.
My current source of anxiety is financial, and of course illness. I started working as a pso, bc I needed flexible work that would still allow me to paint and create art, and be at home, or if I feel too shitty, take a break or stop when I need to. It's all a vicious cycle though...Not enough calls, not enough money...not enough money, anxiety sets in...anxiety sets in, depression creeps up, I stop painting..no art, no money..and on and on blahhhhh lol.
Sort of a long post, but it's amazingly, refreshing to find others that know what this is like, and can understand how soul crushing it can be just to do the norm from day to day. I feel lighter having read this thread, so thank you all for that :)

I haven't been on cam in probably over a month because I've just been way to sick to cam. This is officially the longest I've ever been off cam since I began my career as a camgirl.
I ended up having to spend all the money I had saved for taxes just to pay the bills. The government is not going to be pleased with me come tax time.
I am stuck in this holding pattern that all I can do is wait till the two months notice I gave is over and I can finally move to someplace cheaper so I finally can make ends meet.

I am frustrated that I completely suck at making money from clips and PSO and have to start over from zero learning everything about making money in those parts of the industry when I much rather not be sick and be able to cam again since I didn't suck at making money at that.

I agree. CBT is a blessing and really does help with anxiety. You have to get to the root of what's causing your anxiety.
I'm really sorry you're going through this. What I'm going to say isn't the cheapest route, but here it is. I've had disabling anxiety and social phobia all my life, with panic attacks that are triggered by mildest conflict or anticipation of conflict. (For example, things like making a phonecall and getting the wrong number. Just the fear alone has stopped me touching the phone for years.) All of this was then exacerbated by years of spousal abuse that had entirely dissolved my sense of worth.
The one and only thing that's made a significant difference to my quality of life has been cognitive behavioural therapy. ("The other CBT" LOL.) Now, therapy probably is expensive where you live, but there are usually discount clinics attached to counselling colleges, e.g. here in London I was able to see a trainee shrink for £20/hr, a third of the normal price. And trust me, it's sooo worth it.
Why? Because CBT helps you figure out what thought patterns cause your anxiety, panics and phobias, and arms you with tools that help you think yourself out of one when you do have one. I've had 20 CBT sessions last year, and my ambient level of anxiety has gone down to a barely detectible noise, and I honestly get maybe a couple of panic spikes a month. When I do get them, I know how to think myself better. All of this has required zero hard meds.
CBT is not pleasant to go through, because it makes you face some hard shit from your past, but for anxiety it's a huge, huge help. Like, I totally make phonecalls now, and am kicking ass in grad school besides.
Good luck!

JAC PSO is frustrating as hell. It's partially why I plan on moving into camming. I'm good at it, but no matter how good you are, you can't make the phone ring. I do okay, not great SOME DAYS. Idk how some girls bank at it, bc I've tried everything and still can't grasp the brass ring so to speak. I'm at ttm, and do all the recommended stuff to gain callers, updating profile pics regularly, status updates, I sell photo galleries and erotic stories, I go on the free chat line to lure them back to my paid line, facebook. What I've noticed is that if I'm really sick, I just need to stay off all together and not push it. I don't have the patience on those days to listen to bullshit, or guys on the free line, or trying to coax them to my paid line and it shows. Never tried selling clips. Hugs to you JAC, the little I've been here you seem like an awesome lady, I hope it gets better for you :)

I've actually had no luck with CBT at all but I completely understand that it works for some other people.

Thanks love! I am happy that you get to catch me on the upswing and don't have to suffer through the two years I've been whining about my health. (*laughs*)
Once I move everything will get better for me. The waiting is just always the hardest part.
You should really check out making clips. You'll be able to 'double-dip' with them by selling them both on Niteflirt and Clips4Sale. (We are all about working smarter and not harder in this thread since we don't have any energy to waste.) Do you use the NF platform at all or just TTM?
