    Default What do you do when you are feeling down?

    I am having a bad day. I applied for a job last week, my friend got me an interview with her company, it would have been great pay, benefits, full-time, mon-fri ect. I was super excited because I am trying to move in the area of where the job is, to be closer to my kids, because if I need to attend a conference or anything like that, it's a drive.

    Well anyways, so I was supposed to find out today about the job, and I was emailed back that I did not get it. Before my camming life I always had a good paying job, full-time with benefits, ever since the economy tanked there is not much out there, and a ton of competition. I wasn't planning to go back to a full-time job as of yet until I finished school, but camming has suddenly took a nose dive for me, so I was thinking of finishing the 5 classes I have left online, to work more hours.

    I do currently have a job in addition to camming, but it is only part time, and the pay is pretty much bare minimum, the lowest paying job I have had since I was 16. But I took it anyways because it is flexible, and I can put it on my resume. Well I am trying to figure out where to go from here, and my question was to all you great ladies, what do you do when you are feeling down? Do you have a support system? My support system used to be my Grandparents, and I don't have them anymore (passed away), and I was thinking of maybe going back to church, or doing something (yoga, working out,). I just need something or someone that can keep me going when I am down. I want to cam tonight so I can bring in money, but we all know how it is, when your head isn't in it, and you go online, people can see that.

    So what do you do to make yourself feel better, and keep going?

    Hey girl, I can really relate to you on not having the support system you're used to having. My mom was my ROCK and though she didn't pass away, she did decide to terminate our relationship after my battle with addiction, my phase working as a dancer, and a suicide attempt. She told me I was causing her too much "emotional torture" and now I can't really confide in her.. I don't want to cause anyone harm by MY hurting.

    So when I'm down? I do my freaking hair and make-up. Yeah, sounds stupid coming from a camgirl since we have to do that shit every damn day and at the most random hours of the night. But seriously a hot shower and a fresh face is like a restart button for me. SOOOOO shallow, but if I feel pretty I feel a little better. And I can just cry it away in the shower. When I get out of the shower, I had time to myself to just think and put things in perspective. I guess its sort of a meditation for me but subconsiously.

    Oh and Mary Jane is a pretty good friend to keep around as a support system too if thats your thing.

    Hey hun I know exactly how u feel "my fam isnt exactly fam" and i dont really have anyone to convide in yes my husband is great but hes not a women and not exactly understanding. What i do mostly is light candles around the bath play some soothing music, n take a hot warm lavender bubble bath with some wine its relaxing and clears my head. So try working out even if its just taking a long walk get urself outside look around just try to seperate yourself from the stress i know it sounds corney but it works ...

    I do meditation. Without it, I don't know where I would be right now.

    amen on the meditation. and on the lack of family and family support.

    i also don't have much of a muslim spiritual community where i live now because the events are really inaccessible. but i found a really open and affirming and welcoming church that i've been going to and the people there are awesome.

    i like doing things by myself though too. i really like reading and going to a coffee shop by myself and reading or knitting for a few hours is like a necessary vacation for me. or cooking - i love to cook so sometimes if i'm down i'll cook something fun. i have pen pals so i write letters...i love getting mail. dancing makes me feel better too.

    Music. Seriously music holds the key for me. If I can listen to music for a while, eventually i can get out of bed and get on with life! Also, simply putting one foot in front of the other, and KEEP GOING!! Keep sending out applications and going for interviews if that's what you really want. Although personally I'd advise setting up to work for yourself from home. I don't know how anyone could drag themselves back to working for someone else, jumping through their hoops for crappy pay, when they can do it for themselves. Stick at it girl xx

    Sometimes I take a nap and thats all I need to do to unstress me. Yesterday I was stressed and I went lingerie shopping lol. Showers also help me too. Each day is so different for me, but those are just some of the things I do to manage stress!

    I know how you feel! I've had a rough year with health and relationship issues and I'm still looking for that "rock". Working out seems to help a bit, and just spending time pampering myself, like doing my nails, giving myself a facial, or taking a bubble bath in my jacuzzi tub.

    I lay in bed and eat Doritos while watching bad T.V lol but after that I remember that nothing bad lasts forever and things will get better. If you can stay optimistic then you're more likely to come across opportunities

    maury povitch. percocet. go to lunch at the bar with one of your friends and bitch about men while drinking bloody mary's or mimosa's. Or if you like drag queens, go see a drag show. queens usually make me smile.

    Usually, if I'm feeling down and have no desire to cam, I turn on some fun music and do what I need to to get pretty for camming. After that if I'm still not in it I watch my favorite guilty pleasure show or read something

    I'm sorry you've been having a rough time I hope things start looking up!
