I would normally agree but it seems so many people think they are alone and it's a great comfort to find out others have some of the same issues as you and can relate. I don't really know that many people offline that have panic attacks and anxiety. I like to be able to come on here and chat about it with others that understand my frustration. I also think it shows you care when you mention idea's for someone to try. I personally tried almost every anxiety med you can think of and a wonderful person online suggested a therapist that specializes in anxiety. It really changed my life and it could work for another person that might not have thought of the idea.
Hopefully no one on here took any of the suggestions in a negative way and if you did I apologize for my suggestion.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation! I am a stripper, not a cam girl. I don't know if you would be comfortable dancing, but if you are it might be a good way to get on your feet. I am in the central florida area, and have an extra outfit and pair of shoes you could have to get you started if needed. I understand if this isn't something you'd want to do but I figured I'd offer!
Thank you everyone for all of your advice. A little bit about myself:
I'm 23 years old, and I've been in the vanilla workforce for the last 8 years(minus 1 yr due to depression), from being a performer for seaworld, to flight turnaround coordinating, to retail management, I've been all over the place. I really wanted to be successful out there in that shitty world.
I have been living on my own or with roommates since I was 18, and paying my own way, it was only within the last year that my mother asked me to come home and help with rent because her husband left her. Most of the time I was employed at more than one location and was working more than 12 hr days. I caused permanent damage to my spine and shoulder from over-lifting improperly for an extended length of time. I loaded way too much onto my plate because I wanted to believe that I could handle anything that was thrown at me.
As far as the depression/anxiety goes, I've had these issues for as far back as I can remember, but was only medicated after I had a major meltdown at work, lost my job, and was out of work for over a year because I couldn't get out of bed, (luckily I had saved up a lot, and was living in a place with very cheap rent). I entered back into the workforce, but I have since had a very difficult time being around people, and after seeing so much corruption within the industries I've worked for, and how the only way to move up and make money is to be as corrupt as those above you, I have decided that I no longer want to slave away for someone else to profit off of. I have no qualms with hard work, but at this point my body feels 30 years older than it is, and camming seems to be a good option to keep me off my feet and whatnot. And yes, I have done extensive research on it.
My mother is financially back on her feet now, but I'm the one who isn't anymore, hehe. So I'm really trying to get back out on my own.
Right now I'm camming from a friends house so I'm hopefully back in business.
Thanks again everyone! I'm definitely going to look into some of those work from home options as well.
And thank you everyone for being so open and supportive, it is so nice to see that I am not alone in this. Makes me feel normal(er).
I wouldn't suggest a mobile hotspot, as they are VERY expensive for the amount of data you will be using.
I'm not shooting down camming in public. I WOULD shoot it down if you are using either Streamate or Chaturbate. (Chaturbate recently became VERY strict on their policies and they do not allow it anymore. Shame, it brought in great traffic.)
MFC still allows camming in public and I do it every so often. Generally, I sell videos and do raffles to make up for not doing a "show." Works pretty well.
In the meantime, you can open up a C4S store and use a public wifi to upload the clips. Maybe you'll do well with it. There are probably some studios that you can work at, seeing as though you're in central Florida.
Like the other girls said, make sure that this career is what you're looking for. If you're looking to become a teacher someday, this probably isn't the best route to go. Try to mend your relationship with your mother because she does sound like she means well. When you're living under somebody's roof, they unfortunately have the authority to tell you what is and isn't allowed in their household. I wish you the best of luck.
