You do not know how understand you. I've also been abused in childhood. I took many years of hard struggle to get rid of post traumatic stress. And now I am beginning to be well my body has crumbled and i am suffering several autoimmune diseases.
But I keep fighting and I hope to find a way out of this

I don't know anymore if this is just depression, general hopelessness, or just a lot of shit going on, but I've worked maybe 3 days in the past 2-3 weeks. I'll tell myself all day that I'm going to work, but it never works out. I get tired, or frustrated, or deal with family shit all day and I'm emotionally drained. My husband just started working so I'm experiencing a huge shift in our regular family dynamic, my period started 5 days early from stress, both of my dogs are sick, and literally everything going on lately is just a huge mental block and emotionally exhausting.
I need to make money soon, things are going downhill fast... I have to take care of my internet bill soon, I have two skype regulars waiting around all the time, I have $600 worth of bills due next week and I've barely been pulling $40-$80 a night on SM when I do work. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm looking at going back to school and that gives me some hope... I've been realizing lately that I'm nowhere near where I wanted to be at this point in my life. It's lead to many breakdowns lately.
I need a pick-me-up soon. I can't handle much more of this.

^^^ I can totally relate. My hours have been horrible at my day job (like 10/wk if I'm lucky) and my monthly budget demands $1200 not including food or any extra purchases whatsoever. I don't have family to fall back on and none of my friends are in any position to bail me out if I get in trouble. What I wouldn't give for a relationship right now, for the double-income aspect alone (god that makes me sound cynical).
Everything is riding on my camming. Month to month, I could face very serious problems if I can't get myself online and making a certain amount. I think that's a huge part of why I don't log on, when I start focusing too much on the desperation of it... puts too much pressure on things, and then I can't face the idea of sitting online all day and not making anything so I don't even try. Like the post above, I'll pump myself up about it and think about it all day, expecting to cam the entire day... and it gets later and later.. and anxiety turns into tiredness.. and before I know it another day without getting on cam is past. There's always tomorrow, at least until the end of the month closes in. Sigh!

Not at all.. I want a relationship for the double income aspect alone.. I don't see I really need them now.. The time I needed them desperately they were no where to be found.

Not sure where else to post, it's ptsd related. When people are on the sex offender registry, they're on for life? Unless they die or move to another state? Cuz i keep track of mine and he just disappeared. In other news, I passed the background check for a gun, so the ex from 2011 was wrong, I'm not "really hot but batshit crazy" lol.

Does anyone else suffer from migraines?
I have one that has lasted 2 day.
They have no rhyme or reason as to when I get them.
I used to think sugar or chocolate allergy, change of weather, etc.
But now they are so random.
It's not menstrual migraines, because I don't have periods anymore.
Anyone?

I see so many people suffering from depression on this thread, and I definitely have my bouts of crippling depression. The best thing I have found is listening to this hypnosis on youtube. Jody Whitely has lots of videos to listen to as you drift to sleep that addresses depression, anxiety, procrastination and wish fulfillment. It's very healing and always helps me get my brain back to a good place within 2 or 3 nights listening to her. My fave is an 8 hour video she does that addresses depression and anxiety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-nM9OvDwUw&index=5&list=PLFrc7cNQ6R6d91YNYLrDzlQhneWkovoYm

^^Thank you for the above 2 suggestions!
I will FINALLY have health insurance on June 1st, and the first thing I will look into is why I'm having these migraines.
I did have spinal x-rays done 2 yrs ago, and the Dr. diagnosed the headaches as being a result of neck spasms which stem from my scoliosis, and degenerative disk disease, along with arthritis.
He said that only meds would help.
T:-\here has to be a better way to cure them.

This might be a STRANGE question.. but how is your bowel movements? are you constipated? you would be surprised the ailments we have from that reason.. the colon expand and expands and crushes and pushes on nerves and organs and causes a whole host of problems.

Random thoughts that may or may not be helpful...
-For insurance, check ehealthinsurance.com for reasonably priced options. I found a great plan for $218/month that includes preventive care, $15 prescriptions, and very low copays. My annual deductible is only $1500. If you need insurance for just a short time until your next job's insurance kicks in, search for "gap insurance" or "short-term insurance" on ehealthinsurance: https://www.ehealthinsurance.com/short-term-health-insurance
-For those of you considering returning to school...if you don't have your bachelor's degree, you'd qualify for the Pell Grant, which is around $5k/semester if I remember correctly. Apply on FAFSA to see what government aid is available to you: https://fafsa.ed.gov/
-For those of you looking for natural help with mood disorders, the auto-ship option on these (extremely high-quality) products is affordable and might be something to look into: http://www.omegavia.com/products/
-For those of you with grooming disorders, consider supplementing with n-acetylcysteine: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3044191/
-For those of you who are looking to transition out of the industry but don't want to do the bachelor's/grad-school thing, look into skilled trades such as massage therapy, esthetician school, becoming a CNA, cosmetology, etc.
-For those of you who are dealing with resume gaps or too much free time (can be hard on mental health to have nothing to do but work), look into volunteer opportunities in your area: http://www.volunteermatch.org/
-For those of you who don't have much going on but don't want to volunteer, look up your local community college and consider taking a class online or in person. Classes usually cost ~$90/credit, and you can find a huge variety of topics (everything from personal development to skilled trades to general studies).
-For those of you who are dealing with deaths in your families, look into externalizing those emotions on a social level: http://thedinnerparty.org/about/
-For those of you who are looking for friends but want to find people with similar interests and life experiences, browse meetup, or even start your own!: http://www.meetup.com/
-For those of you who are dealing with social isolation, consider rescuing a low-maintenance animal, such as an adult cat. Pets are amazing for restoring sanity!: https://www.petfinder.com/
-For those of you who want to start doing self-work but aren't sure how to begin, consider buying a 'guided journal' such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/The-Self-Esteem-Guided-Journal-Harbinger/dp/157224402X
-For those of you who want to take supplements in the hopes that they might alleviate symptoms, but aren't sure if the cost is worth it, begin your research here: http://examine.com/supplements/
-Example: Vitamin D & Depression: http://examine.com/supplements/Vitamin+D/#summary5-2
-For those of you who are dealing with depression, consider supplementing with Vitamin D, B-Complex, and 2 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids daily (the nurse practitioners at the behavioral health center where I work recommend these to all of their patients)
-For anyone who wants to read something positive and motivating but doesn't know where to start, Steve Pavlina has some great articles on here: http://www.stevepavlina.com/articles/
-Article on "Killing the 7 Motivation Murderers" for those of us who get stuck in our heads: http://startupbros.com/killing-the-7-motivation-murderers/
-Finding textbooks online for free: http://obsessionfull.tumblr.com/post/9569549985/how-to-find-textbooks-online-for-free-a-post
-For those of you who are angry at someone but don't want to hurt them (this might feel satisfying to send): https://shipyourenemiesglitter.com/
-For those of you who can cope better when you have more information, here's a great resource that covers a huge variety of topics (mental disorders, life issues, etc.): https://www.mentalhelp.net/articles/
-Tumblr masterposts on mental health resources (found by google searching "tumblr anxiety masterpost"):

I kept it at bay most of the time but I never had enough. sometimes I shortness of breath because of it.. I hope that I will be fixed soon...LOL.. but some of the problems you guys talk about is these 2 vitamins so I would advise to go get checked.. or start supplementing, do some research on it.

I used to drink milk before I got chubs!.. once in awhile I do .. but it makes me gain like 2 pounds in a day.. so it's inflammatory to me right now.. but I love cheese and yogurt and stuff like that. They say that's not really a good source of D though.

There aren't many natural sources of vitamin D. Sardines have vitamin D in them, naturally. I would just buy a supplement and take it a few times a week... I just bought a supplement from this brand, and I'd buy from them again: http://www.amazon.com/NatureWise-Vitamin-Organic-Olive-Non-GMO/dp/B00GB85JR4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433642074&sr=8-1
Your body becomes better at absorbing vitamins when it's deficient. So if you have an iron deficiency and eat some meat or beans, you'll absorb more iron from the food than you would if you weren't deficient. So supplements are a decent way to go if you have a deficiency, even though it's true that it's better to get vitamins and minerals from natural sources.
And, of course, if you have the option, going out into the sun without sunscreen for 10 minutes a day is ideal. Wear a hat or sunscreen on your face to protect it. It's most important to have your limbs exposed to the sun, since they have the highest surface area.

I posted this because it's common.. Mine is very severe as I had probably ALL of vitamin b12 depleted.. I was REALLY Sick 8 yrs ago.. I drank this reverse osmosis water that made everyone sick.. I was very sick and I have been living that way all this time .. just coasting by.. I had Vitamin b12 injections at the time I ordered from Canada because I had no insurance and that was the only thing I could think of that was wrong with me.. I was shaking like parkinsons disease, falling asleep every 2 hours.. resting heart rate of 105.. heart just pounding out of my chest.. I couldn't talk right.. I actually started drinking wine to calm down my central nervous system from shaking.. without really knowing that I was depleting my b12 even further.. my case is very severe.. and I have to get more testing done to see if I have a more serious condition from it like pernicious anemia... this is not pop a few supplements.. I stutter, blank stares, the mood swings the anxiety the depression was all caused from this.....never had any of it prior to that..so I never got better.. and I couldn't really figure out what was wrong and how I could never feel like I used to before this... because the thing is I was NEVER getting enough b12.. I require HIGH doses to get normal again.. b12 recycles in the body over and over again before you ever show symptoms usually.

Allergic to the sun means that I get immediately flush red all over, and nauseous and headachy, with body aches. Feels like the flu.
I get weak, and feel like I'm about to pass out.
Part of it is because I am very fair skinned, the other is genetic.my mom was the same way.
It's called Polymorphic light eruption, basically a reaction to uv light.

I just need to vent.
I haven't been on cam for nearly 3 months now. First, I took a vanilla work contract across the country for 7 weeks, which was really high paced and stressful and the reason why I quit my vanilla work to cam from home and the last 2 weeks of that I had a crazy attack of vertigo, ear pain, tinnitus etc. The vertigo lasted for 2 weeks straight and now that I'm back home and trying to recover I am still having issues with balance and total exhaustion. Drs think I either have a viral infection of the inner ear which can take months to recover from, or early onset Meniere's Disease which will be a life-long chronic condition. Still waiting to get in to see a specialist (ENT) for an official diagnosis.
Long story short, I told myself I'd start camming again this week (I'm running low on money already after 3 weeks of not working) for 3 hours a day Mon-Fri but I am so nervous. Woke up today with extreme eczema underneath both of my eyes and it looks like I have been punched in the face. So another day of not camming for me.
Not sure how it's going to be for me with my energy, or if my vertigo will come back with all the weird positions we have to get into. I know I just need to jump back into it, but I am so freaked. Do you have any advice on how to get re-started?
Camming was stressful enough as is while being healthy, now it seems so daunting dealing with chronic illness. Just needed to vent. I have mad respect for all of you ladies who have been dealing with health issues while camming. Lots of love. xx - Bella

I didn't know if I wanted to post here or not, but hopefully I can find someone who can relate...
For the past two months I've been suffering from Panic Disorder (diagnosed).
I didn't do ANYTHING for two months in regards to work because... something internally was stopping me.
I thought, well maybe I just don't want to cam, so I'll do my art...
Then it was like... I don't want to do my art either.
The phrase repeatedly told to me was "Just do it," so I finally listened and when I did... major panic attack that sent me to the hospital.
I have a panic attack DAILY. Over stooooooooooopid stuff. It's so ridiculous.
Anger; then panic; then depressive state.
That's how I work.
It's stupid.
I realized, what triggers my anxiety is doing really well. Like, when things are going well in my life, I panic.
My doctor told me it's probably because I'm so used to my shitty life that I feel like I don't deserve anything good to happen in my life.
I believe that. It makes sense. It makes sense because I used to not be able to take compliments at all.
My boyfriend would always tell me how beautiful I was and how I wasn't fat, and I would literally lash out at him and accuse him of being a liar...
It was terrible and I hated that.
I have another issue related to that last part, but I'm going to double-post (srry in advance).

Does anyone here struggle with an ED?
I recently got diagnosed with binge-eating/purging type anorexia.
It was seriously ruining my life...
I'm trying to get healthy and lose some fat and tone up.
It got to the point where I would punish myself by not eating, and then when I ate something, I'd punish myself even more.
It really sucks. It really freakin' does and I hate that I do it.
I'm find some different kind of control that's more positive.
What helped me with this is my bf telling me he liked my body the way it is. He thinks it's perfect.
But I want a body similar to Amber Rose's now.
Which I'm not far off from, but I need to lose 5 inches in the waist.
I'm trying to do it the healthy way now...
but I'm still exercising excessively.
Better than doing what I was doing before. ;<
I just want to be happy and have my bf happy too.
We found a middle ground and that gave me a lot of peace in my mind.

Not being able to get enough oxygen would explain the mountain of health problems I am currently dealing with.

I got these Garden of life Healthy Blood Supplements.... I now think that is another one of my problems.. because my health took a turn for the worst after they took 3 vials of blood from me.. JUst took 2 of them when I started not to breathe again and now I feel normal.. I am sure I am deficient in many things.. 8 yrs ago I was drinking Reverse Osmosis water for 3 yrs that sucked the vitamin and minerals out of me.. and I smoked cigs, drank TONS of alcohol and whatever other bad habit I had.. but I never stopped drinking my superfood so I have been relatively able to sustain myself up until last year. now I have to like double up on everything.

I wish I knew what was going on with my anxiety today. I push myself to get set up, get online, but the minute I start a conversation with a client my chest tightens and I get nauseous like I'm going to have a panic attack. On top of all that, my depression has been absolutely horrible the last few weeks, which I'm used to so it's not a super big deal, but when I add it to todays anxiety it's just to much. I just want to crawl back into bed and hide.
Any tips for working through anxiety that isn't breathing exercises? Those never seem to work for me.

ok so I haven't found this topic anywhere else so I figured I'd post it here. I have add and depression/anxiety and I often find myself staring at myself in the flashplayer cam window and obsessing over how ugly I look or how I look compared to other girls. I am obsessively staring at myself trying to get in the most attractive position where my rolls don't show or trying to only show my "good" side of my face. I think it's starting to cause me problems with customers and focus and my self esteem. Can anyone relate?

You should really try Magnesium.. Like the Natural calm drink.. anxiety is a sign of so many deficiencies, like b12 , magnesium.. so many things!.. I never had anxiety til I got real sick from drinking the water..LOL.. sounds funny.. it depleted all my vitamin and mineral stores and I started experiencing a lot of anxiety issues.. so I have done TONS of research how to get my life back!

I just want to let you know I also work for this organic nutrition company and it has really helped me. We have customized pharmaceutical grade vitamins/supplements and our research is 18 years worth and peer reviewed. We have other products as well for weight loss and performance but I feel that our nutrition program might be better for some of the girls here. It's based off a health assessment that takes into account your medical conditions, medications, lifestyle, diet etc. We have had SO MUCH success with people losing weight, being able to go off their medications, their blood work coming back significantly better or "perfect" etc. If anyone is interested just visit my website jmmoore.idlife.com I'm not sure if I'm allowed to plug myself here but I KNOW it could help some of you! Our assessment is HIPAA compliant which means it is confidential and I cannot view it.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try them out and see if that helps.
Also, I'm so glad I decided to check out this thread. It's so amazing knowing that I"m not the only one struggling with my mental illnesses while doing this job.

I need to ask my 'Sick Girls' bbs some advice.......
It is no big secret that my health took a turn for a worst the middle of last year. It has been beyond frustrating for me because in order to get my health back to where it even is now I had to make getting better my 'full-time job' for the last six months.
Now I've been slowly trying to start working consistently and I find one of the biggest obstacles I have is that I am always either comparing my energy and earnings to either back when I was still 'functionally sick' or to healthy girls which of course drives me to push things to the point where I burn out.
I could really use some tips, tricks and your advice on how you manage to be gentle with yourself when your inner critic is in overdrive.

I have been listening to Dr Joel Wallach he has lots of lectures on youtube... he says celiac disease is the reason behind eating disorders.. YOu might want to investigate that further.
Does anyone here struggle with an ED?
I recently got diagnosed with binge-eating/purging type anorexia.
It was seriously ruining my life...
I'm trying to get healthy and lose some fat and tone up.
It got to the point where I would punish myself by not eating, and then when I ate something, I'd punish myself even more.
It really sucks. It really freakin' does and I hate that I do it.
I'm find some different kind of control that's more positive.
What helped me with this is my bf telling me he liked my body the way it is. He thinks it's perfect.
But I want a body similar to Amber Rose's now.
Which I'm not far off from, but I need to lose 5 inches in the waist.
I'm trying to do it the healthy way now...
but I'm still exercising excessively.
Better than doing what I was doing before. ;<
I just want to be happy and have my bf happy too.
We found a middle ground and that gave me a lot of peace in my mind.
