Really struggling to rack up hours at the moment. I struggle with depression and my mood just plummets every time I have a bad day camming. It's really not great. Right now I just feel like crying... Gaaah. Need to make the rent!
Day 10 of this stomach bug. 4 lbs total lost so far. I'd be happy but for the debilitating stomach cramps and not being able to leave the house. I was feeling good enough to work a few hours on on Sunday and for an hour on Monday. Made all of $61...
I'm going nuts and getting seriously upset because I haven't even come close to making my projected goals for this summer. I just keep bouncing from one cold to another, one infection to another, and this stomach thing just is the icing on my shitty cake. Sorry to vent, but you guys understand the absolute frustration when your body betrays you in this way. I want to feel better again. I need to work, damn it!
I just slept 10 hours. That *never* happens. Now I am running late for my entire day. This day is really going to suck.

I cant seem to recover from the long day on cam on Saturday & the trip to Ikea on Sunday, all my body/ muscle hurts, i even have muscle tension in my legs from the walking (went to Ikea by Bus - it's not close by, then all over the huge shop to find the thing i went for & look around). What it means to work at home in a static position!! when i go out i feel it HA! Was not feeling well to work last nite & i feel soo tired here lately :(
I've been forcing myself to use this site to make me take a break for 2 minutes. Truth be told I find it almost impossible to do nothing for 2 minutes. O.O
How do you do?

I am dragging HARD, I had to push myself to get through a half-hour on cam. You know those days where you get done and just lay there and hope that your partner/roommate comes in and rescues you? Yeah, it's one of those days. I am probably low on something, going to start seriously supplementing my iron levels and maybe my D levels too. But BAH. I was hoping to make a little more this week, since my previous checks were so low. I'm just gonna do what I can....
So... I haven't posted in ages, and it's mostly for health reasons, so I thought this thread was a good place to check in. Hi ladies!
At the beginning of July I got really sick for about two weeks, including several days in the hospital. Recovery was kind of slow after that, and I wasn't allowed to do a whole lot of stuff (sex, exercise, lifting shit, etc.) for a few weeks afterward. Since the problem was related to my kidney and urinary tract, but they couldn't find a cause, the doctors didn't want me to do anything that would bump, jostle, or unnecessarily pressure the area until they figured out what was going on. Needless to say, that put me pretty much out of commission for camming for several weeks, which was frustrating. On top of that, I had already been suffering with extremely low energy on a regular basis, and trying to recuperate only made that worse. Thank god for a couple very good regs who kept me afloat with a lot of easy sessions, but it's frustrating to feel like I'm basically starting over again after being gone for a few weeks.
That said, I'm trying to treat this like a fresh start and do things a little better this time. For now, I'm focusing on working enough to get by, while trying to develop good habits that will help boost my health and energy. I'm taking vitamins daily, eating a little every three hours to keep my metabolism running efficiently, and trying to figure out my ideal sleep schedule. I'll be adding in some light exercise soon, and hopefully that will be good, rather than draining.
I totally want to jump ahead and work on building my brand, and Twitter, and my website, and my marketing efforts, and contribute on SW, and start making clips, and join more sites, and, and, and... But no. I have to remember that *I* am the product. If my product is falling apart, and I don't have the energy to get on cam, everything else is totally useless. Right now, camming is my part time job, but figuring out how to take care of myself has to be my full time focus. I really really hope I can make this happen. I have so much I want to do, and I just need to become a more functional human in order to do it. Having patience with myself and my health is hard sometimes.
^^ same here. Day 4 of food poisoning and although the drugs are working, the nausea is slow to ease up. I can't be on cam for more than an hour at a time before i just get too nauseous to speak. Total time online this week? An amazing 1.5hrs. FML. My monthly goal for Sept is $2000 but at this rate I'm looking at $200 it seems. urgh.
I've pretty much given up on trying to eat this point because my body just keep rejecting it and just broke down and bought myself a bunch of that 'liquid meal replacement' stuff instead.
On the plus side, I won't have to stop camming to feed myself anymore.

So now I am addicted to that NERVE tonic.. with this extremely high stressful life and everyone around me on cam and IRL being cruel that sometimes I just cry myself to sleep.. well at least it's better than drinking wine or vodka.. it actually kinda gives you a buzz.. especially if you don't eat...lol... NO CALORIES either.
Ya'll should try it.. I am gonna order another bottle of this stuff. I can't live without it now.. I have broken out in tears so many times the last few weeks where I just wanted to give up and go get some alcohol.. thank god for this stuff .. I havent needed alcohol to solve world hunger since about a month ago...LOL

^^ LOL Julia!.. yea it is only like a half a dropperful in your drink til you are feeling GOOOOD.. i'll do anything to escape free chat hell.
Ask your doctor for Meclizine. I recently took it for a sinus and ear infection and it stops you from being nauseous and dizzy. http://www.drugs.com/meclizine.html
^^ Thanks Jane :) you're the best xx
I've been severely depressed. Haven't left bed in days. It sucks. :( I have an appointment with my doctor, who I hate, on Monday. But I figure it's better to see any doctor than continuing to suffer in silence. I really need to work but I can't even motivate to put on makeup. I've been sad every since I found out I lost a house I applied for and ever since a boy made me sad. I hate that I let these things get to me. :(
So I bought some pea protein and some hemp protein.
I'll let you all know if it does anything to help my low energy level at all.

In case you were all wondering....
Pea protein does taste like peas.
