    ^ How did you manage to find a gif of me doing my makeup when I dread going on cam?

    Seriously, though. I feel you on so many levels. I adore you for being to cam at all following a break-up. My partner and I struggle a lot, and I cannot possibly cam when we fight, so a break-up... wow. You're a champ.

    The most important thing to remember is that you can look your absolute best, have the greatest smile on your face and be ready and willing to make that money, and it will still be slow. It's something I learned the hard way. I used to think that now that I'm motivated, have great equipement and always make sure I look my best on cam, I'll never-ever-ever have slow days again. Well, wrong.
    Personally, it's something I still struggle with, a lot; I tend to avoid camming for periods of 2-3 days after I have a slow, discouraging day, so I might be losing potential money - perhaps even a lot.

    As I said, I adore anybody who's able to cam despite outside circumstances and despite dealing with a row of slow days.
    I don't know you, but I think you are amazing. The money will start flowing again, eventually. It's always just a matter of time. Just don't forget to take care of yourself.

    I've cammed through a breakup and its extremely rough. There were times I would sit in free chat, tears in my eyes forcing a smile and would just have to log off for a few minutes cry and log back in. In addition I struggle with depression so it just makes it so much worse. Just like in your other thread though as I said, you'll have your good days and your bad. Some nights you'll have amazing people come in, compliment you left and right, boost your self esteem and make lots of $$. Other nights you'll get called a nasty whore, have 5 people in your room and make 6 dollars. Those are the nights that usually make me even more depressed when I'm in a bad way.

    Hang in their hun! I give you major credit for camming through all the issues in your life. It's really rough. SM has been strange for everyone lately though, and the Summer in general is a bit slower, so keep those factors in mind. Hugs!
    For the love of nipples!

    Oh my gosh honey, I cannot believe you are able to go on cam when dealing with all of that. While there will be slow days from hell, it will get better and if you aren't on, you can't make anything, so you are more than on the right track. I almost talked myself into taking a day off because my knees sort of ache and I beat my daily goal yesterday, but if you can get on cam with what you are going through, then my ass isn't going to take the easy way out. *hug* You have definitely kicked some needed motivation into my ass. If you need to talk or rant, feel free to pm me.

    ^ It's OK. I think that's why I have to take these 2-3 days breaks; I get depressed and self-destructive after a long, slow day on cam.
    Of course, I do not currently go through what you are going through, so perhaps you should take a short break. I mean, I don't know how exactly stressed are you about the money, but I think that if it's not a matter of life-and-death it's not worth the mental pain it causes you, on top of everything else you're dealing with at the moment.

    I defintely think that if you can, you should take a few days-off just to... calm down, do whatever you like that makes you feel happy and alive.

    Wow, how do you do it? I'm not even going through what you're going through and I don't even wanna get on cam. I'm sorry the love of your life left but look at it as a blessing in disguise. Don't force yourself to cam if you're not emotionally ready. Always remember that the only people you need in on life are the ones that need you in theirs.

    Love all of you.

    Cam models are some of the most wonderful, loving, supportive, understanding, open-minded, accepting people because we know pain, we appreciate love and we empathize with those who are struggling!

    You are never alone in times of adversity! Stay strong and things will get better if you want them to!

    My daughters dad left me last year too when I was only one month pregnant. At the time it was hard, but I just focused on me and my pregnancy. Plus camming kept me busy and helped keep my mind off of things. Just take it one day at a time......eventually things will fall into place.....{{HUGS}}

    Was on an hour made $0. A bunch of popping in and out. No one even stayed long enough for me to try to convince to go pvt. Had to take a break because I was getting a headache and moody. Will try again later. This is why I do not work Wednesday's.

    It was that's why I logged off because I was about to go cray or Ms.Bitch. I checked my placement... was #1 in my category... it still sucked ass despite my good placement. I went to other models rooms and it didn't seem like it was much better for them either. I hate Wednesday's! Its going to be my official day off. I just hate that my sucky day falls in the middle of the week because taking it off makes me not want to get back on, on Thursday.

    Wow thats fucked!! I remember Ifriends used to do something similar. Sign the guys up for premium something and then the fees started, guys bitched and ended up cancelling their acct and claiming fraud.

    I read that many people asked for their money back and cancelled the membership, so I did the same. Otherwise, I would have just closed my account. It's not cool at all. And not to mention that models don't get any % of that money either.

We sometimes exchnaged private messages via SM mail about our daily lives (well, to be honest, HIS. I wouldn't say much); he seemed to need this attention and listening, so I thought, "why not? I can only benefit from this, working on building this connection".
    ...yeah, no. Lately he's been sending me long-ass messages and asks me to send him pictures (free, of course - we're BFFs, after all!). I ignored them, but today I finally confronted him about it via SM mail. I've yet to see his reply, but I bet it's going to be something along the lines off, "Oh, I guess I got the wrong impression, blah blah blah, I thought we were friends/you liked me, have a nice day and good luck".

    But it's totally my fault, TBH. I should learn how to keep complete distance. Otherwise, the seem to forget what I do is still called WORKING and they think I'm their new lover (even though we live in other sides of the ocean).
    Don't feel bad. I've done this many times over only to come to the realization that these "types" feel they have earned the right to free shit. Now when those members show up I just play like I can't see their typing. Or I when they type I respond several minutes later with excited messages like "hey". Meanwhile I'm watching netflix the whole time. One guy just left me message after message all day. I just delete it and play dumb when he comes back in my room. I've noticed that any guy that seems to leave me messages is far too needy and the money he spends will never make up for the energy he's sapping me of.

    Another way is to respond to every message 4 days late and when you do just respond with one word answers like "really??" "Wow?"... "Cool". Then when he feels he's not getting a decent response to his dead sea scrolls, tell him you've been so busy you haven't had the chance to respond but now that he's on the site you can do an exclusive where he gets your undivided attention..

    It works about 50% of the time. For the ones it doesn't work for it's because they were "prepaying for pussy". In other words they spend to create a real bf/gf relationship then stop spending because they think you're a " let's meet" away from fucking them in real life for free.

    Best to just play dumb and say SM must be glitchy because you aren't receiving any messages. He'll probably try to ask for "alternate" contact and you can say "hey lets go exclusive and talk on the phone!" haah rinse repeat.

    Fuck, tonight both SM and Naked can kiss my fat glorious ass. Between all the cheap gold show fucks and creepy men wanting 'taboo' roleplay, i want to break some fucking skulls. 42 dollars in 5 hours is so damn ugh, especially when I worked my ass off for it. But don't even get me started on Naked, I'm just doing it enough to reach pay out and I'm done with that motherfucker, because between guys who never talk save for freeloaders( who never stop coming back in the room since you can't actually fucking block them) and the fact in the last ten hours on there I've only made 2.50, it has gotten to the point where it takes everything I have not to scream at each and every one of the mouthbreathing motherfuckers who believe that we will actually meet up and fuck them in real life. How mother fucking moronic can they be? *screams her way into her kitchen to go make cookies*

    Marina, I fucking love you honey. No matter what you post on here, I swear you bring a smile to my face. So thank you for being fucking awesome.

    And to all you others on here, you've so kept me in the game and from losing my shit by talking about what you are going through, knowing that it is not just me some days. So I love all of you fucking amazingly wonderful ladies. Thank you all.

    Also, I love to swear if you haven't already noticed this. :-P


    Edit: By the way, my cookies turned out great. How the amount of dough for a supposed 6 dozen cookies becomes three dozen in reality, I don't understand, especially since I didn't eat any of the raw dough for once.

    Ugh tonight on SM sucked so much. My placement was all over the place, couldn't even be found at times. I was bored out of my mind and screwed a flesh light with a dildo in my freechat... which brought some traffic and resulted in 2 failed GS attempts. I was on for almost 2 hours and made $0.

    As someone who works on naked I agree with you 100%. No, like, 1,000%. This is basically how I feel after each and every shift on there lately:
