I don't buy those cheap supplements.. And I just KNEW in my intuition that GNC supplements for junk.. I just felt it.. The sun theanine I have tried is NOW brand, Jarrow and Paradise.. Paradise so far is the best .. not sure about the other 2 .. I kinda don't feel much from it.. PARADISE brand is PURE.. no fillers
Do you research with products and the companies they come from. I know I was taking Sun theanine and felt nothing from it. It wouldn't surprise me if it was one of those products that was junk.

My Rheumatologist recommended a few supplements from Puritan's Pride. However, in the past I tried Country Life and I can honestly tell you it was garbage.

Ugh I am just doped up and yucky and the last thing I want to do is get on cam but I feel like I am missing out on something if I don't...AGH!! However I don't cam like ya'll do, I sign into NF and when I get a call I get on when I don't I lay in bed wondering wtf I am doing trying to attempt anything!

Besides having a cold right now I'm doing better. I really think I was stressed out over cam sites, glitches, traffic, etc. When I stepped away from most of them and only do one along with some indy sites, my stress levels went way down. It's nice not dealing with that and still be able to make money. Sometimes we need to value our health over anything else.

I feel like Im fucking dying right now!!! I've had bronchitis all week and now I can't handle it.. Not to mention I have really bad asthma..they do not go together it's constantly triggering my asthma so I keep having to take my inhaler non stop (which I hate!) and taking my inhaler multiple times a day & night only makesmy anxiety shoot through the roof!!! It's horrible not being able to breath..not through my nose(head congestion).. My throat is asthmatic or lungs congested as fuck

Planned to do another couple of hours this eve but now I'm so uncomfortable with joint pain and my body feels like it is made of lead weights!!(I have CFS).... Instead of goimng back on cam I'm wrapped up in a blanket with a hot water bottle and drinking liquorice tea. Good wishes to everyone else dealing with health stuff xxx

Ok, sorry in advance for the length of this. I got held hostage at gunpoint and raped repeatedly when I was fourteen. The guy had a really good lawyer and it was reduced to corruption of a minor. He got six months and doesn't even have to register anymore-as far as I know, unless he died or moved. The court date was a few months after it happened, right around Valentines' Day. People with PTSD LOVE anniversaries! So, max dose of L-theanine all week, pain meds for my wisdom tooth, and maybe a few hours with a punching bag. Anyone wanna switch lives till March?

Been on and off sick basically this whole winter..right now I think I might be coming down with the flu and a UTI. It's hard to deal with because I just want to rest..but now my body is used to working nights so I can't sleep. And in that case I should have just cammed!! There's no guaranteed money here..so when I don't work I worry if I'll be able to make it up. Today I've just felt soooo crummy. Also dealing with some ~issues of the heart~ so I think I've been down across the board...

I have had the worse anxiety since around the time I started camming a few months ago, but it's not really from being on camera itself, but because my home is so cluttered and I have yet to unpack all of my belongings...I'm not a hoarder but things are getting weird for me. So I'm using that Unfuck Your Habitat app. Anyone had any luck with something like that? Maybe have any other recommendations that may help in a different way?
I'm also weirdly message board shy/reserved and see everyone being friendly and it has been difficult to start conversations or posts. But I plan to work on that and try to post more, mainly to get to the verified requirements but also to make a habit of using the "Fake it till you make it" model.
Anyway, I hope to find this place to be a way to learn a lot and find friends that are as weird and unique as I am. Thanks for reading ladies! :dopey:

Kinda been freaking out bad this week. I'm two weeks late on my period, nauseous, bitchy and over all just don't feel like camming. I've never been more than a day or two late on my period, so my anxiety is through the roof. I put in only 7 hours this week lol pathetic and I've only made about $200 since SM has been so slow. Took a pregnancy test when I was two days late and that was negative, so I figured I would just wait for my period but it's been teen more days and its still not here. I bought a pack of two yesterday and waited until the morning to take them since they day your levels are highest in your urine when you first wake up. Well get this, both of the sticks didn't work! Nothing showed up at all.no pregnant lines, no not pregnant line just nothing. I really can't afford to keep shelling out the money for these tests, so I made an appointment with my gyno for a real test. Late period, bloat, sore nips, nausea, moodiness...it's not looking good. My bf is insanely excited though, which leaves me more confused about what to do. I'm just praying my period magically shows up lol. This has left me super stressed and worried though. My income is showing that and even on cam, I barely have patience for free chat and the assholes wanting to waste my time. Ugh idk what to do. Gonna put in 5 hours today and 10 tomorrow and pray I make my low goal for the week. Also, my lower stomach just feels like a whale is sitting on it. So much pressure and it makes me feel so unsexy. I don't want to penetrate at all. I might go back to mfc soon if this doesn't subside. I don't think SM is the place to be when you're feeling uncomfortable like this.

@liljammer, I just moved, so I have some experience with the clutter issue.
I had lived at the place I just moved out of for many years, and also had belongings from places I've lived before that.
What I did, because I knew I'd be downsizing to renting one furnished room, and knew I'd be putting my furniture in storage, was...
I went from room to room, with garbage bags, and tossed things out.. everything from clothes, to kitchen items, to furniture, pictures, decorative items etc. At first I didn't think I could do it, but the more I threw out, the more I wanted to throw out!
I felt lighter, and lighter, and soon my clothes started getting looser...I was literally getting rid of things that were weighing me down!
The biggest thing was throwing out paper work, magazines, books, etc. that know longer served any purpose.
I've always been a 'what if I will need that later?' kind of a person, but I have let that way of thinking go.
My new place is clean, and uncluttered, and I have only what I will need, wear.
I also donated furniture, and it will be a tax write off as well, so win-win there.
hope that helps. Glam:-*40852

I have a hard time with a lot of mental sickness. The two worse ones right now are motivation issues stemming from depression or something and also a addictition to self harm. It's not anything that will kill me. Bloody hell though it's a exhausting addiction. It takes up so much of my free time. I spend hours a day doing it and it makes me feel like crap. I don't even understand why I do it. Fucking fuck it's so Annoying if I could control myself and spend that time camming I would be doing great financially. Or spend that time exercising I'd lose all this weight so fast. It's been running my life for a long time now.

I understand I go through it too.
I want to cam so bad, but I know I can't even handle right now emotionally. I'm completely on edge. I just want to escape so bad. That would make everything easier.

I can't even imagine how you are feeling, I think we all suffer from some degree of mental illness.. I have some depression, loneliness , isolation, PTSD, Anxiety.. etc etc.. But the only advice I can give to you is one lil step at a time, take more and more til all the positive steps outweigh your illness... That's how you win and succeed and overcome.. For Instance: Camming!.. Log on for 5 mins.. that's it.. log off.. do it again.. another 5 mins.. I am just using that as an example.. Or even exercising.. same thing.. Also I hope you have some friends, counselor , family anyone to talk to or socialize with..

That's what I am working on.. de cluttering , organizing.. I spent a few years drinking my life away and being super depressed!..LOL... so ignored a lot of things and just took a permanent vacation from life!.. But I am doing a long version of preparing to move which I hope to move either sometime this year or next year.. Who knows .. Life changes in just ONE DAY!

So, had to get my hopefully last wisdom tooth pulled. Usually, when they come in, I have to get the tooth blocking it pulled first. Then, the wisdom tooth itself comes in and gets impacted, painfully pushing on the tooth next to it. So far, seven teeth, last one Friday. Thankfully, ONE wisdom tooth on the right had room. On the bright side, my seven day period is finally over.

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I have a friend helping me clean out all the junk/trash and we're basically re-packing everything into boxes, since I still have them. Then we're going to slowly unpack and sort through each box, one by one, until I have things organized and lots of things to donate.
I'm a knitter, seamstress, and all around maker or weird things so I also have that "I might need this later!" mentality.

Past the week has been horrible for me. Started with just sinus and then I feel more sick.. I got bad sinus infection that causes horrible headaches. I feel like I have been hit with a brick on my head. I am on antibotics and few other things. I also take steam showers, once a day and a lot of sleeping... nothing makes me feel better at all.
Any suggestion on making sinus infection go away or to reduce the pains? I really need to work!

Hey , last week my daughter got sinus infection,she used to have it one time each year since she was 7.I have tryed everything the doctors used to tell me,but nothing really works.Something that reduce the pain for a while is compress with warm sea salt put on the face where the infected sinuses are-you can do this as often as you can.Another thing is the non milk protein diet,try to exclude everything that may contain it in your food.Hope you get better soon,the sinus infection is really nasty :(

Maybe if I film myself hurting myself I can make better money on c4s lol. The worse part of it is the consumption of time not even the pain or physical effect. It just consumes me. I read a lot of crap about psycology over the weekend and I think it's my minds way of dealing with over stimulation of emotions. Since my earliest memories I can recall mostly a feeling of numbness towards things that happened so if therapy was ever suggested to me after the fact I would decline because I felt fine. I felt those things didn't affect me. Now Its all layered there on top and I think I disassociate. I'm trying to learn how to manage. I have to get better to be there for my son. I need to heal and make money so I can afford the things for him that he should have.
I hope camming isn't doing harm to my mind and I just don't feel it in the moment.
I don't think it is but I don't feel things like most people I know. My mind is fucked up mostly because of a childhood and early adulthood full of sexual traumas so I'm afraid sex work might fuck me up more. or maybe not. I like taking those fuckers money and feel empowered by taking their money.
Fuck it.

Does any of u been in the situation to feel kinda 'sick' after dyeing ur hair? I did this yesterday & might have kept the dye on my hair a bit longer & after i washed & took a bath i felt somehow 'off', i cammed & was sweating here for no apparent reason plus today i feel pretty tired & have kinda muscle pain, i dont feel like i have a cold or so, did nothing unusual here to make me tired but that's how i feel?!? Is it possible that chemicals from the dye to be absorbed by my body somehow more than normal & to give me these symptoms?! I am worried /:O

Oh I have few sick clips on my c4s cuz I am literally a sick girl. haha. I just feel too sick to make clips this time. I don't have any energy for it. I went to the urgent center last night, because I wasn't getting better at all. I got new medications from the urgent center and it killed my sore throat, like overnight! But I am now having side effects, with thristy as fuck and dizzy and sweating from hell. I think I am feeling much better, compared to yesterday and I am happy. I think I can cam tomorrow without looking like a mess. :D
AlexisSugar, here are the medications I got from the urgent care... Have your daughter try the medications next time? Doctor said I have acute sinusitis, acute pharyngitis and tension headache.
Medications I got:
Amoxicillin-clavulanate
Loratadine-pseudoephedrine
Prednisone
Naproxen
I am gonna order this essnetial oils, because it looks like it may help me while I have steam showers. It has a lot of raving reviews.
http://www.amazon.com/Popular-through-ESSENTIAL-Contained-Respiratory/dp/B00KC4UELE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1425353047&sr=8-3&keywords=sinus+relief
I will also order a face steamer, so I can use it few times a day, rather than going in my shower for the steam. I love steam showers, but when I am sick, I do not want to get myself fully soaked and then go to bed all cold. haha. Do anyone on here have a recommendation on steamer?
Have anyone tried SinuPulse? This looks interesting. I used to have neti-pot and it wasn't my favorite thing.
http://www.amazon.com/SinuPulse-Elite-Advanced-Irrigation-System/dp/B001CWT4JI/ref=pd_sbs_hg_12?ie=UTF8&refRID=05QG7JMAAS4CVV6B60YF
Obviously, I do have a chronic sinus, literally all year for years. This time just got so bad and it scared me. I think I will try to have a surgery on my nasal for better drains, but not this year.
AlexisSugar
03-02-2015, 11:13 PM
Yeah acute sinusitis she has too as the doc said while ago.She is on:
zinnat(for 10 days),gelomirtol 3x1 and cinabsin 8x1 (both homeopathic).
What helped for the sore throat and reduced the yellow discharge from the nose:
Bioparox spray(Fusafungin has antibiotic and at the same time anti-inflammatory effects. It has only a local effect and does not cause resistance (ability of bacteria to survive and proliferate in the course of therapy). It reduces the mucous membrane swelling and moderates pain. The preparation is in the form of microscopic aerosol; its particles are very small and penetrate in all areas of a breathing system.)
Haven't try the face steamers yet,but sounds like a good idea.Looked for sinupulse but think we don't have it here.
Currently looking for good SMR doc to do the lasar sinus treatment as she has her sinusitis chronic too.

03-02-2015, 11:32 PM
i am going to put all those u mentioned into my sinus notes. essential oil is very pricy, but it can help other problems beside sinus so why not to try it. it has almost perfect 5 star reviews of over 400 people and only 5 with one star. that is a rare. it could be a lifesaver for me.
AlexisSugar
03-02-2015, 11:54 PM

I really need a mini rant and this seems to be the best place to do it...
I got an IUD put in in September and have had horrible problems ever since. Went to the doctor to get yet another check up and after 2 hours of tests, apparently everything is fine and I shouldn't be in pain or bleeding.
Today marks day 18 of my period this month. My face is breaking out like a mofo. And I can't make dirt right now because I can't cam for long or at all because I turn into a bloody mess and I bleed through all my tampons/guys beg for toys. I am so broke and I am cranky and annoyed. I cam full time, so not making money on cam means not making money at all. Really annoyed and upset by this and I have no one to bitch to about it. Sorry, rant over!

I swear if it's not one thing, it's another. Finally getting in my groove and planned out two shifts a day, except I woke up this morning and had a giant Bartholin's cyst. WTF. I really think I need to do some sort of cleanse or take something for inflammation because I've been getting these 2-3 times a year for like 5 years. Luckily this time it isn't infected so no ER and lancing for me...yet. *Fingers crossed* that I wake up tomorrow and it's burst on its own, so I can work.

Antibiotic for my sinus infection is giving me a rash on my face and umm on my butt. :( I refuse to cam looking like this. My ass is what makes me money the most. Another week no camming! I ordered the sinus relief essential oil, the most expensive oil I have ever ordered. Lol. I also ordered a diffuser. So I should get them on tomorrow if the snow don't interferre the shipping. I also ordered hair dye, because I didn't dye my hair in so long time due to illness and my hair is showing a lot of gray roots. Lol.

scarlettbelle, try invest on an inversion table for back relief. I have degenative discs in my lower back, so I get inflammations often. Inflammations are managable most times because of inversion table and avoid any of lifting or bending over as possible. I do still go to emergency room couple times a year for several shots when my inflammation gets too bad.

I honestly don't think they'll notice. When I get anxious, just cover it up with a lot of giggles so they just think I'm excited lol. The best thing about working behind your computer is being able to manipulate in situations like those. If it's really bad, you can just log off and come back one you're calm. We're really lucky to have such control over our work environment ^_^

I honestly don't think they'll notice. When I get anxious, just cover it up with a lot of giggles so they just think I'm excited lol. The best thing about working behind your computer is being able to manipulate in situations like those. If it's really bad, you can just log off and come back one you're calm. We're really lucky to have such control over our work environment ^_^That's a good idea! I'll try that next time it happens.
The main thing that drew me to camming is the self-set environment, honestly. I love having control over when I work, and with whom.

Hey guys! So, I have been on antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds for...I would say almost 10 years. I am at a point that I am weaning myself off of them, one at a time. Have any of you done something similar? Had any success with it? Especially while working. I am going incredibly slow with it because I don't want to lose momentum with camming while I try to get my shit together :P

I have NEVER been on anti depressants or anxiety for any length of time, so my suggestion to you if you want to wean yourself off of it.. In the meantime boost your levels up with alternative things like cod liver oil, herbs, other vitamin and minerals .. EFA's.. anything that boosts your mood up.. Otherwise once you are weaned off you will crash and burn and wind back up on them cuz so many people end up failing at their attempts to get off .. they are like any other drugs you would take.. illegal or prescribed or even caffeine!

Hi MissJ,
I've been on and off zoloft, xanax, and similar drugs over the years. I had to cut out the regular doses because I was starting to feel dizzy and disoriented too often. But I agree with decreasing the dose slowly, regardless.
I keep some Xanax in case of extreme anxiety (my sister says this can only really have a placebo effect since Xanax works by building up in your system, but whatever, it makes me sleep and if I'm asleep I'm not anxious). I rarely use my emergency Xanax-- often just knowing that they are available has kept me going for another day.
What I really wanted to say is, if things are still unstable in your life, don't be hard on yourself if you have to stay on the meds a little longer. I've been there; sometimes the world just conspires against us and we have to adjust our schedules accordingly.

Yes, I took valium for alcohol withdrawal, trazodone for anxiety and lorazapam for insomnia. I took xanax for occassional anxiety use but I hated it so I never really took it. I didn't use any of these for very long so I probably won't be a ton of help. You should ask your doctor on how you should wean off, 10 years is a long time and it could be dangerous without a doctor. I just cut my dose down on the valium and lorazapam. Anyways it's 5am and I'm tired so I can edit this later. If you have anxiety and depression, I'm not sure it's best to get off meds entirely, unless your on benzo's cus their the fucking devil.
