    Default returning to dancing?

    sooo, it's been since i've danced or been here even. i was living abroad and am now back. i started working a regular job but i cant stand it and the pay is shit, not too mention i barely get any hours. i know the economy is not doing well and i happen to live in socal and its always bad money-wise and whatnot, but last year i was dancing and there was a lot of talk about how much money has gone down and it was a significant difference than what i could be earning working minimum wage. and i'm in school so having the ability to have a more flexible schedule is a lot of help...and im in a lot credit card debt.

    i am hesitant though when i was stripping before i was going through a period where i was drinking a lot. i was recently diagnosed bipolar and am on meds that i feel are working quite well but i have to avoid alcohol, but there many times i just didn't work sober. however, i did do it for a little bit and i remember making the most money while sober. anyway my whole point is i ended up getting depressed and having mood swings and im nervous that being in a SC may trigger.

    I miss dancing and its advantages...there's things I don't miss but I put it out of my mind so I guess my real doubt is it really going to be any better than a regular min. wage job money-wise or other advice?

    If the clubs give you anxiety, maybe working one night a week would be the best thing (while keeping your regular job). That way you can supplement your income without having to deal with all the stresses of dancing on a constant basis that will wear you down if you aren't strong.

    I think that the bigger income will make you happier than a minimum wage job, but if you don't enjoy yourself at work or you have to drink then I would say that it is not worth it. IMO you have to enjoy this job to do well at it.

    i wouldn't worry about the poor economy because there always seems to be money for sex, drugs, and alcohol. even people who aren't making a buck still want to feel good, you know?

    i have a bro who is schizophrenic and although your mental illness is diff, i still think you and him can act on the same same premise: IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE SICK... YOU ARE CAPABLE OF ANYTHING! sorry for the caps, i just want to see you and him succeed in whatever you choose and not be pulled back because of you're situation.
    you have to know your boundaries and it sounds like you do (no drinking!) so i think it is worth a try. you come first, though, so if you can't handle the scene then leave. you could always get a job at something like hooters? my friend worked there and they make a BUCK!

    thanks ladies! i just don't drink in general at all now, so why start at work...plus i know i hustle a lot better and actually feel better about myself when im sober cause guys cant get away with pushing my boundaries. i've had all types of regular jobs and i like dancing by far the most, not just because i make so much more money but pretty much making my own schedule (which i need cause i never know when i need to take time off, either for school or when im sick) i had the anxiety regardless so who knows maybe i'll do better now that i'm more stable.

    i was also looking at bikini bars where you're a bartender/cocktail waitress wearing a bikini but i have this idea that working in a SC would almost be better, less drunk guys grabbing at you, same amount of clothes (except when they come off for a couple minutes) and possibly more money...but thats more of a notion i have...i feel like i'd be doing the same things but in a bar scene, but then again i'm not that familiar with bikini bars.
