    Default Anxiety and camming

    Hi ladies i wanted to ask a question. This is kind of embarrasing for me but i suffer from panic disorder and although i take medication for it (Ativan) I still find myself struggling every day as soon as i get on cam. Does anyone else cam with severe anxiety and how do you get through your shift? As soon as i log on i begin to feel lightheaded even sitting down i feel like i am going to faint. And then my vision gets blurry so its hard to even see wtf the guys are typing. I take my medicine before work but i am really struggling to get through a 4-5hour shift on cam. the worse is the feeling that i am going to faint. I chose to cam and work from home because working at a regular job outside or with people is even worse for me. I have struggled with this for years. But it gets worse as soon as i turn that cam on. So i always end up pushing my shift back further and further till 3am where i end up making very little.

    Just wanted to know if anyone else is going through this and how you cope with camming.

    At this point even making new videos is becoming hard for me so i took a break on filming clips because i never bank off of them.

    Any advice?

    Thank you for listening

    I'm dealing with the same exact thing. I've had panic attacks just sitting there looking at the "Get Online" buttons for both camming and phone sex. Honestly, I don't know any good advice other than to let you know you aren't alone. I've tried everything from smoking herb to Xanax to alcohol to anti-depressants, even Oxy for my bad knee and fibromyalgia. For me, it's basically coming down to desperation. I am a single mom with kids and an elderly mom to take care of and I have GOT to earn money for the mortgage and bills. I don't have a reliable car and the thought of a regular job is mentally and physically paralyzing to me. I've managed the last year and a half with a couple sugar daddies and a handful of regulars, but their support is dwindling.

    I'm here if you need to PM me...you are definitely not alone.

    I do, but it only seems to happen when I have taken a day or more off, then it's like I'm starting for the first time ever. It gets easier if I start making alot of money right away, but if it is really slow it gets way worse.

    I take breaks and smoke cannabis before I logon. It just relieves me of waiting for shows and overall not throwing my laptop out the window when i get infuriated at customers. Which has been a lot lately. Be sure to set meal times and hydrate. My anxiety is brought on my bad scheduling and when my body feels bad, my emotions go with it. good luck. listen to your body, always.

    I suffer from kinda crippling anxiety too, but thankfully it hasn't extended much to cam. My goals have always been very modest taking this into account, I don't want to burn myself out. But of course sometimes it hits me on cam! Sometimes I feel like I'll fall down from my stool, and I start seeing a million lights around my super bright lights.... it's not nice. However it doesn't happen as often anymore, these are some of the things that have worked:
    1. Conscious breathing.... Breathe slowly and deeply in, then kinda hum - whisper it out.... Think of how the breathing of a person who's deeply asleep sounds. Slow it down, moan it out, that's what I do on cam when I feel like ants are crawling on me!
    2. Take a break every x time and take some hits of sugar/cannabis/all and everything that picks you up.
    3. Take a break and flip the cam off.
    4. Take a break and have a ton of water (this should be higher on the list I guess.)

    My rule is breaks no longer than 5 minutes, but do whatever works for you. It gets better and you build stamina for it. Keep breathing!

    Also if you feel like you're fainting, hit break and lay down on the floor. breathe.
    If you're having trouble with the newer versions of the SM Broadcaster, PM me if you'd like the setup file for an older simpler verion! (v. 12) Happy hustling!

    There's an app I use to practice deep breathing called Pranayama Free, if you're feeling anxious then use this for five minutes. Deep breathing at the right pace will change what your body is doing in terms of which hormones and chemicals are being released, so there will be more of the relaxing ones and less adrenaline etc.

    Another thing that works surprisingly well is singing. Put on some of your favourite tracks while you're getting ready for cam and sing along to them, it opens up your breathing and takes the tension out of your abdomen.

    Definitely things like making sure you've eaten so your blood sugar isn't tanking, and avoid coffee/tea/coke etc which are stimulating. Herbal teas which are relaxing like Layla suggested are good too. I've found chamomile to be over rated but passionflower or hops really slow your system down, try sipping on those while you're getting ready and while camming.

    Do these things and after a while your body will start to associate getting ready for cam with being relaxed and the anxiety come on as strong.

    Breathing is SO important. When you're having anxiety or panic attacks you breathe superficially and this triggers more panic and anxiety. I used to go to yoga daily, mostly because the breathing exercises plumped me down to earth instead of whistling for breath all day long.... Now I don't have time to go to the yoga but I try to remember the pranayama exercises and do them when I feel the tightness setting in.

    As person said, try marijuana. It helps some people too. Just don't drink vodka but smoking Mary Jane with Ativan is OK.

    Vodka is my go to IF I have no Xanax which doesn't happen now that I have money to afford my doctor. I've been told I'm allows ONE beverage with my pills but he stressed no more than one. Ativan isn't for panic. Idk why you are on it but Xanax is the go to for panic disorder and the fact Ativan isn't working is a red flag you aren't on the right med.

    My anxiety has been life long, I'm 33. I barely leave my home. I get anxious about the mail and I won't go to the mail box or I think I have a disease. My anxiety also can make me volatile and angry. If I feel caged and almost panicky I can fight people. I get agitated so easily and on Xanax I give no fucks so I generally stay away from most humans as I have found I have less of a little inner voice that says "if you hit this person you go to jail". Rather, it says "we don't care if we go to jail" and I don't, lol because the pills make me not give a crap! And I say whatever to anybody even if it's a bad idea! Just comes out. I'll straight cuss a person for not giving me enough ice and not be angry, just comes from a place idk where. So.... Just saying its a catch 22.

    I take Xanax extended release every 12 hours at 1 mg each dose. Them I'm allowed and additional up to 3 mg of Xanax immediate release per day if I have break through panic attacks. And I still have panic attacks so I think you are grossly under medicated on the wrong meds.

    I have panic attacks and take Ativan too. I take 1mg tablets. Its possible that you may need a higher dose or need to take it more often. I take one in the morning daily and only take another one if I really need it. Part of panic attacks is you have to feel the fear and confront it in order to help get over it. Its not easy at all but it does work in time. Have you tried therapy? I found that to be a great help.

    I wouldnt suggest weed since it can make panic attacks worse in some people. Same with holistic products, some make anxiety worse. I would take to your doctor before you try either of these.

    For camming I always play music, have plenty of fluids by me and chat a lot in free chat. Its ok to take a break and collect yourself and than log back on.

    Read this and try it to help with your breathing. I bet you are breathing from your chest and not your diaphragm. http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/How-...hragm-16748149

    In most panic disorder patients we don't naturally make enough GABA and there's no talking or breathing that can change that. You must feed yourself GABA like substances which stop the body from producing any at all and you are totally dependent on feeding your brain the chemical that puts the brakes on panic. My doctor is an anxiety specialist and a chemical psychiatrist who worked for NASA as a chemist helping make substances and devices for medical purposes in space. Then went to school to become a psychiatrist. Anyway, i trust him decently well and so far so good. But it took me ten years to find him and he doesn't take insurance so he's so expensive I've had to make changes in my life to go to him. Anyway he explained anxiety disorders are primarily not a mental disorder but a bio chemical one and were no different than a diabetic or heart patient and we need daily medication rather than CBT. We can add CBT or breathing if it helps us deal with it but to stop the cycle you just have to feed the brain chemicals it's lacking. He has told me that klonopin, especially Valium are useless in panic disorder and Ativan is more for general anxiety.

    Even on my regimen I still break through. A panic patient will never be panic free. The meds only work so much, you'll have triggers.

    I am still confused how panic disorder patients are on Ativan and not Xanax. But I'm not a doctor. In most people who take Ativan it only works for short term general anxiety. I can't even see how it can reverse an attack. I have a friend who has the same as me and he is always being cycled on Klonopin or Ativan and it doesn't work for him. Whoever he's seeing must be anti Xanax as he has told them he needs to try it and they never give it to him.

    Never feel embarrassed for sharing your truth. If camming really triggers your anxiety, you can try phone sex.

    I know what helps me with my anxiety is having structures and a routine. Work everyday even for a few hours. I know if I take days off, it's worse!

    I don't have camming anxiety I have random anxiety. I noticed when I'm ready for another meal/snack it's worse. If it's blazing hot out - worse. Dehydrated- worse. Hormones the week before my period- worse. I don't do anything for it except try to be aware of things that set it off and keep on top of those things.
    You have to be confident to some degree to be naked on cam. So you've got that going for you. I also notice it's hard coming back from days off. I'm just not into all the bullshit I know is about to come my way when I log on. But after about an hour and a pvt or two I'm back into "mode".

    Chronic anxiety/panic attacks usually stem from stress that is enhanced by neurotransmitter deficiencies.

    Like another poster said, GABA is usually the most deficient in those with anxiety. I don't agree with taking psychiatric drugs to bring levels of GABA back up unless you have an extreme shortage. Many scientific studies prove that GABA deficiencies can be remedied with slow, relaxing movement exercises eg. yoga, qigong, tai chi etc. and even just a one session can increase levels on average up to 27%. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3111147/ and http://www.qigonginstitute.org/abstr...cal-inhibition

    Nutrition can also increase neurotransmitter levels. http://www.siliconvalleyfit.com/blog...ethods-Natural

    Our bodies and minds are more than capable of healing whatever imbalances we have. So much of media tries to turn us into drug-addicted, helpless victims of fear. Much of our health stems on what we believe and feel. Don't believe me? Read, "Molecules of Emotion" by Dr. Candice Pert and "Biology of Belief" by Dr. Bruce Lipton and take charge of your beliefs once and for all. If you prefer more of a laypersons read that summarizes these books, I suggest, "How to Heal Yourself When No One Else Can" by Amy B. Scher.

    Also, anxiety/stress is contagious. If you are constantly around people who are highly stressed all the time, it rubs off on you as well. Take them in very small doses.

    I sometimes get a little anxiety when it comes to going on webcam. I try and not let it put me off, sometimes doing things to help the situation so for me usually vodka/wine or sometimes camming but without sound. Takes the pressure off a little.

    Yes, I've been doing the sound off thing too, specially when I'm only starting my shift and I feel weary of minding my tone of voice and my chirpiness, I just add to the room subject: I'll turn sound ON for PVT/EXC, in the meantime chat! And it's been going suspiciously well! I find I feel less drained if I'm having an off day... and like someone else said after a couple of caught fish, I'm in a better mood and I feel like moving more and turning the sound on.

    I agree with this. I took 2 days off for the holiday, and my first day back was like, "What's a cam? Why are all of these people in my chat room staring at me? And what should I say to them?"
    It's the strangest feeling.
    On the flip side, camming TOO much, on a certain day, will trigger anxiety, big time.

    I had panic attacks in my early 20's, been to psychiatry, took pills. I was in a state, i was shy to go to the street, and was paranoid like hell, with super low self esteem.
    So, i "have an idea" how is that, i think. Now, I m fine, and only thing i can say:
    Pills don't help. They make it worse, and you weaker.
    What helped me, is sport. At first i just ran tonights and went to spinning classes., soon i went to a gym and hired a personal trainer.
    I remember first time i tried to talk with him, I was unable to say a word, just sweating like a pig when he asked "what is my goal". I keep doing workout, and nothing helped that much. If u have a friend, ask him / her to go with you, but better if u decide to go alone.

    I really dislike when people down play anxiety and say pills don't help. They do. They help incredibly well and only a trained psychiatrist can design a regimen to help people.

    Just because one or two people or however many were able to deal with anxiety with yoga or whatever doesn't mean that's the answer to every person. I have weight lifted for over 10 years and somehow even when I lifted 6 days a week I still had panic attacks. I'm not shy. I have always had high self esteem and I can talk to anybody I just don't like people and I'm introverted so I stay away from most people. It's crowds, loud sounds, too much stimulus that will kick me up. Christmas
    Is the worst. Kids laughing all at once and darting all over a playground, etc. Crowds in stores with no order! Even a crumb on my floor can throw me into a panic! I control every aspect of my life or I can't handle it. The money, I scrub my walls and yell at people for touching the paint or wearing shoes on the carpet. Dust has even made me have a panic attack.

    I think it makes the world think anxiety and panic disorder isn't as dangerous as it really is of people say drugs aren't the answer or that you can "cure" it with breathing and exercise.

    Statistically, anxiety disorder is the leading cause of suicide, not bipolar and not depression. There's millions who do just fine on medicines with no adverse effects. I was able to complete college and graduate with a double major and go to grad school because of Xanax. I think I would be dead today if it wasn't for my meds. Nobody knows what it is like to crawl in a hole literally and put a blanket over your head and have panic attacks lasting 10 minutes over and over again. Unless you have had them. Nobody wants to live like that and there's no amount of breathing or exercise that will stop that level of severe panic and anxiety.

    The reason people throw a fit at drugs is that so many say you don't need them. The poster is already on a benzo, they are at a level of anxiety a medical professional felt the need to put them on a benzo. People who take a benzo to live aren't doing it because they have other options. We were put on them because it's the benzo or suicide. At most points of prescribing a benzo a patient has tried all and nothing worked. They are only bad if you abuse them. In people who need any drug it makes them more "normal" and not "high". I mean I can safely take 5 mg of Xanax total in ONE day if I have to just to be "normal". Where as if somebody who didn't have anxiety took that much they would sleep for two days.

    I'll walk you through my life from as far back as I can remember. A feeling of "something bad is going to happen 24/7." Not that I think something will happen, that I could talk myself out of. It's a feeling not a thought. We don't get to flip a switch on our feelings. Our brain shoots out or fails to shoot out chemicals and that's how we feel. Add to that thoughts, though, like maybe I have AIDS, cancer, strange diseases. Google is the worst invention for general anxiety with a fear of terminal illness.

    I perceive things as threats when it isn't. A speck startles me as a spider, a cord is a snake, clothes on the door is a person. Out of the corner of my eye or for a second it's something threatening. It's what happens when we live in a constant state of hyper alertness due to anxiety and fear.

    Panic attacks start like this all of a sudden for NO reason
    Tingly hands
    Can't breathe
    Throat closing
    Hives
    Senses are wrong. Soft feels coarse, coarse feels soft, colors change
    Feeling of out of my body
    Even though I may be in my home it feels foreign
    My loved ones start to feel like strangers
    I panic
    I freak out
    I'm dying

    If I don't take a pill it will last about ten minutes then for a day I'm almost like a person who had a seizure. I also suck at life leading up to one for days, I can feel them coming. Also they can come in waves that are so close I have had days that seemed like one box attack.

    Ten years ago I checked myself into a psychiatric ward. I was on anti depressants and BC pills as my doctor diagnosed me with depression and PMS. I was googling ways to painlessly kill myself. I was then diagnosed with severe panic disorder with agoraphobia and generalized anxiety disorder. I was given Xanax and in an hour I was thanking my doctor and crying tears of joy as it took the pain all away. I had no hope that I could be helped. The power of the right drug works wonders. The problem is that regular Xanax wears off so fast when it starts wearing off you can have attacks. With the XR it controls the background level of anxiety so well that it lessens my severity and number of panic attacks and I need less and less of the regular Xanax. It's also a low dose and it doesn't make people feel high! Which is perfect.

    Also in recent years I was diagnosed with OCD and adult ADD on top of my anxiety issues.

    Also, anxiety and panic can cause seizures in people. I have witnessed stress related seizures that look a lot like a grand mal! Benzos increase seizure threshold anyway as the more relaxed one is the less likely they are to seize. A friend has stress seizures so often she has Valium on hand so when she starts feeling stressed she takes it for a while until it's over. I have yet to have a seizure that I'm aware of, but when I witnessed it the person had no memory.

You must feed yourself GABA like substances which stop the body from producing any at all and you are totally dependent on feeding your brain the chemical that puts the brakes on panic. My doctor is an anxiety specialist and a chemical psychiatrist who worked for NASA as a chemist helping make substances and devices for medical purposes in space. Then went to school to become a psychiatrist. Anyway, i trust him decently well and so far so good. But it took me ten years to find him and he doesn't take insurance so he's so expensive I've had to make changes in my life to go to him. Anyway he explained anxiety disorders are primarily not a mental disorder but a bio chemical one and were no different than a diabetic or heart patient and we need daily medication rather than CBT. We can add CBT or breathing if it helps us deal with it but to stop the cycle you just have to feed the brain chemicals it's lacking. He has told me that klonopin, especially Valium are useless in panic disorder and Ativan is more for general anxiety.

    Even on my regimen I still break through. A panic patient will never be panic free. The meds only work so much, you'll have triggers.

    I am still confused how panic disorder patients are on Ativan and not Xanax. But I'm not a doctor. In most people who take Ativan it only works for short term general anxiety. I can't even see how it can reverse an attack. I have a friend who has the same as me and he is always being cycled on Klonopin or Ativan and it doesn't work for him. Whoever he's seeing must be anti Xanax as he has told them he needs to try it and they never give it to him.
    .
    Im confused you dont know Ativan and Xanax are both Benzodiazepines. They are pretty similar except Ativan isnt as addictive as Xanax. There is also no scientific proof on what causes people to have panic attacks. The only thing they know is they are coming from the same area of the brain that seizures come from. Anxiety is a mental disorder, not a chemical imbalance. A lot of people successfully deal with panic and anxiety without taking medication. CBT has proven to be more effective with panic attack suffers then medication.

    You can also be panic free as well. Saying you cant ever be panic free is just a misinformed statement to make.

    So, i "have an idea" how is that, i think. Now, I m fine, and only thing i can say:
    Pills don't help. They make it worse, and you weaker.
    What helped me, is sport. At first i just ran tonights and went to spinning classes., soon i went to a gym and hired a personal trainer.
    I remember first time i tried to talk with him, I was unable to say a word, just sweating like a pig when he asked "what is my goal". I keep doing workout, and nothing helped that much. If u have a friend, ask him / her to go with you, but better if u decide to go alone.
    Medication helps a lot of people and that doesnt make them weak. That a really rude thing to say, it really is.
