    Default I need some help and encouragement.

    March has been one thing after a another with tons of bad luck for me. Two weeks and a half weeks ago, I got a large ugly rash that within two days spread to a large chunk of my torso. Went to the doctor and it turned out to be shingles (which as a 20 year old, I didn't even think that happened in my age group) and I was out of work for two and a half long weeks. Now, for the past two nights I set everything up for camming, and then I just don't do it. I keep making up excuses and I just can't seem to get back on the horse. One of my huge fears is that I will be at the very last pages of Streamate and will never be able to regain my former spot on the bottom of the first page. So I ask two things:

    1) Could you please give me a bit of encouragement, maybe an uplifting song you listen to?

    2) How far do you fall (pagewise) when you've been off for three weeks?

    Thank you guys so much. You're all incredibly helpful and I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had this forum to help me get started in camming.

    sorry to hear about ur misfortunes and good to see that ur feeling better enough to be getting back to cam work. the best thing you can do for yourself is to not think about it and to just jump on. i have found the more you think about it, the more you are able to make excuses and talk urself out of it.

    to answer ur Q's

    1.) i can't tell you a song that will help encourage you. only YOU can know the songs that make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. all i can say is.. check out music mix here on SW and plug em into youtube and see what songs make you feel good.

    2.) again, i can't tell you this. i don't know ur work ethic. just jump right in and work ur little buns off babe.

    good to have you back on SW!

    I listen to "Antique High Heel Red Doll Shoes" by Rasputina, but I'm a little weird in the music dept.

    I've seen some people retain their placement after taking time off or some who only fall a line or two. They've also recently changed SM's placement it seems, so some people are falling farther.

    Hope it goes well for you.

    One thing that seems to be almost universal (I certainly felt it back when I worked big box) is that it feels daunting as fuck to get back on cam, after even a brief absence.
    BGB and Jess are right on, just play your fav tracks and decide to get on cam. It's never as intimidating as it feels before you broadcast.
    Glad you're feeling better, now go make some $$$$$$!!!!!!

    oh i luvvvvvvv kaskade myself! i tend to listen to songs on repeat while i cam... i don't give a fuck if the custies become annoyed with it, if a particular song puts me in a certain place emotionally and it helps keep my ass on cam i am gonna keep listening to it for as long as my little heart desires.

    I've been off for two weeks (moving, so sorry to hear that you had to be off for medical reasons!) and I dropped a page. So I wouldn't worry too much. Tonight is my first night back, and I am making it up.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I was off for 2 weeks in January and fell only a few lines. End of Feb into mid March I was off a month and took a two page hit. After working a couple of nights though I'm almost back to where I was, I'm only off a couple lines. It's totally hard to get back on, but the hardest part is hitting that login button the first time of the night. Just gotta do it cause you're guaranteed to make nothing if you don't log in.

    The cover of Divine's You think you're a man by Full frontal.

    It gets me in a really good mood, plus I always feel like, it is directed to all the damned freeloaders. I love the original one too, but this cover triples the "Fuck you freeloaders, it is your huge loss!!" feeling

    And ofc Roxette-The look
