    Today is my day off. I'm starting the day off great with 9 hrs rest. For self care I have already done the Ho'oponopono negative energy clearing session for 40 min. My plans are to get super healthy groceries then play some ping pong with a real good buddy of mine.

    I need to socialize. It gets lonely on cam. This will be the perfect opportunity to have fun, also vent a little (he knows that I cam), and share in my success so far.

    I'm really looking forward to it.

    I wanted to cry last night. I was having a great night! Regs and new friends, I never have bad Mondays, then it started to storm...I live in the country so my wifi went to non existent. I have a car payment I'm already late on coming up in a day and I literally was on track to make it ALL last night. Everything was perfect. I kept trying, then it got worse because I had to rattle my son by showing my face to check on the wifi and he was NOT happy that I had to leave again. I got showered with rain (I cam between two houses) and tried again...nothing. Mostly, I'm frustrated because I know it's supposed to storm through Wednesday. Also I was out of weed LOL, so one of the only things besides prayer that could calm me down was gone. Anyway, that was me venting because I couldn't fall asleep last night I was so upset it took constantly kissing my son while we cuddled to calm down lol! That face could melt Medusa's heart. I'm gonna try again tonight, I fair pretty well on Tuesdays. Just gonna get a little extra cute to offset my icky feelings about last night.

    ^^It's really smart that you cuddled and kissed him. That releases a lot of oxytocin. Oxytocin is great to reduce stress. I'm happy to hear you have him. Plus, with having Bipolar, you need to self care as much as possible.

    How much sleep do you get a night? I know people with Bipolar have to sleep well. I'm sure Indica (if you smoke that) can help induce sleep. Do you smoke Sativa to have energy on cam?

    I think marijuana is great. I just can't smoke it anymore as some strains make me really paranoid and I'll dissociate.

    I suffer from a Dissociative Disorder. I experience derealization when I'm extremely stressed out. It's not like I lose time or become another personality, actually everything feels very unreal.

    ^ I used to smoke a bit for anxiety before going into therapy. I felt it was helping, unless it was placebo, i'm not sure. But I smoked more one time, for fun, and I hallucinated. I'd like to try again but beside not knowing where to buy from, I fear I'll hallucinate again. It wasn't nice ))

    On the self care topic: I've been out with my friend, ate and did a shopping therapy session. Shopping makes me happy, I'd buy everything in sight lol. It was nice as long as it lasted. Now back in my cave, will watch some netflix and sleep. I might work in the morning, will see how I feel when I wake up.

    ^^Whoa haha. That had to have been scary. I used to love Sativa. I'd smoke with my friends and we'd legit play ping pong for like 4 hrs LOL. I've never hallucinated, but if I did...my mind has some dark corners & I'd prolly fuck myself up.

    Hey, yeah, good self care. Socializing & shopping is good fun. I splurged on groceries: bought an $8 jar of vegan kimchi, $7 in avocado's, $7 in vegan sauerkraut, & $6 on rice among other groceries. Yeah, spending does feel good.

    I'm with you sis, killing 2 hrs watching Reign of Fire. Good movie so far. Then I'll play ping pong.

    Whatcha gonna watch?

    Yeahhh, before him I was a complete lost cause, I was disassociating daily before I got diagnosed with Bipolar and Panic Disorder I remember explaining it like...watching myself move but not really in control of the movements/actions. Like that Tina Turner scene where she's just drawing on her face zoned out is how I was basically. They think PTSD as well. But, I live in Florida and I don't have a med card yet, so not really able to choose the strains. I do know I've only had Indica once and it was not by choice, I ended up sleeping the week away and my grandma thought I was pregnant again HA. It honestly just helps where I feel the meds just can't get it right, and I don't want to keep upping my pill intake. I'm already on two different meds so weed just gives me that last "mental correction" if you will.

    As far as sleep goes, I get 4/5 before daycare drop off and try to get another 2 after. Doesn't always work.

    Today is starting off so well. I got 9 hrs sleep, had yummy coffee, drank 20 oz water, then did the Ho'oponopono negative energy clearing for 20 min.

    Since I haven't done yoga in a couple months, I decided to do a Kundalini session to open up my heart:

    Screenshot 2019-10-09 at 9.06.17 AM.png

    Screenshot 2019-10-09 at 9.08.32 AM.png

    Kundalini almost always brings my HR up a little and gives me this vibrational energy that feels so good throughout my body. I feel ready for this 5 hr shift I have to stream today.

    Intentions today are to eat clean, drink a total of 80 oz water, and keep vibe up. Will meditate and clear negative energy in the afternoon.

    I have plans to socialize with a friend for dinner and drinks this eve at 6:45pm and that means I have to be on earlier. Well, this early shift isn't looking very profitable. I've been on for an hr and had a triple private, but they all didn't stay very long. Took a break to eat real quick:

    2 cups power greens lightly fried in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 5 oz salmon, half medium avocado, 2 tablespoons vegan kimchi, and a tablespoon avocado ranch dressing. Washed it down with 20 oz water.

    This mini meal is full of protein and should give me all the energy I need to do 5 hrs. I feel good. Vibe is up. Will meditate in an hr.

    Took some time out to meditate. I usually just listen to the Ho'oponopono when it's quiet, but this time I meditated on it.

    I feel calm and serene. Ready to stream the rest of this shift.

    Not really sure if the fact that our internet is fucking up so bad I can't work is the issue, but I've been in bed all day just feeling at a loss. Slept in late with my angel which was so nice to actually spend some more time with him... After drop off I was supposed to nap and get up at 11:30am. I went and dog-napped my little cousins pup while she's in school and we slept until 1pm...got up called Spectrum to see if they could fix the issue...and now I'm back in bed we just have to wait until tonight to see if the issue is fixed and Im so sad because I was soooooo cute last night. Like I felt more hot than usual?. I did record a clip and some pics last night in effort to be somewhat productive. But I'm still in bed and still sleepy...maybe a 30 minute nap wont hurt...right? lol.

    I'm having a hard time.
    After having a very successful week 2 weeks ago, my schedule got disrupted by real life problems and I've not been online since last Thursday. The longer it passes, the harder it gets to get back on, and it makes me feel really bad about myself even though I know, rationally, that I'm justified to feel this way: I now know for sure that my father has got terminal cancer and he's been given 5 months to live. I'm in a foreign country so I can't be there with my family, and yesterday it was the first time I had the chance to talk to him, since he's been in hospital. I've just been reconnecting with my friends, talking things through, grieving, distracting myself... I feel very lost and frustrated, and like nothing else really matters compared to it, so I've felt zero motivation to get on cam.

    Also, I've got ADHD and I'm the only support of my household: my bf has been ill and unemployed for nearly 2 years, so the pressure that was already big is becoming pretty unbearable. Thankfully, now he's getting treatment and he's determined to start earning with a new business he can set up from home, but it's been very, very hard, but it's make or break at this point. I just can't do it on my own. I have lovely friends and people who support me, plus help from my counsellor, but this is really becoming difficult, at least today it feels that way.

    However, I don't really have the option to stop and not work, because it's all on me and I need money to go and be with my family, so after a long fight with my brain, I'm getting online. Even if it's just a couple of hours, that's better than nothing. I got this. You girls got this. Thanks for letting me get it off my chest.

    Much love <3

    Sister, with Bipolar you have to be vigilant. You can get depressed fast and lack of self care or too much sleeping can deepen one. You did good by shooting some content. I'm gonna be tough here:

    Get up and shoot more content until the internet is fixed. You can do this. Your lil boy is counting on you. I'm holding you accountable. Get up, get showered, get CUTE...then shoot more content. Keep me updated.

    Sister, this is so tough. I'm sorry. You have every right to take it easy. Your father's condition is grave and I'm sure you love him. All the financial stress makes things worse.

    I wish I could help, like really help. All I can do is send you good vibes. I've been doing the Ho'oponopono and when I do it again, I'll have you in mind. Stay strong sister. Getting on for just a few hours is great. I'm sending you good vibes Xs 2!!!

    So, I didn't go back to sleep. I actually did something that I constantly forget to do...eat. I also went grocery shopping and cleaned up my room, washed some clothes. Not exactly content related, but def something to keep me going, the one thing that goes down quick when I'm depressed is my organization skills and cleanliness as far as my surroundings. But in a way I actually was thinking about my son even doing these things, I don't want him to see a mess daily and think mommy is just gross or grow up with those "habits". And I actually feel better. Snacking and then I'm gonna shower and go pick up my baby! In a turn of my Bipolar mind, I'm excited about getting online tonight. anddddd I just realized the only water I've had in a week or so is one tiny bottle SO I'm fixing that too. Normally I'm on it, but when my mood swings hit I forget my water intake too.




    Ladybuggie, I just want you to know you are not alone in this. We are all with you in spirit and a message away if you need some good vibes!

    I have this thing where I only realize I'm hungry when I'm forced to log off (feed kids, wait for school bus, expecting visitors, etc.). Only then do the hunger pains hit so hard that I get a headache. I need to do way better with designating a specific time in the day as being "lunch" or "snack" time.

    After the disaster of yesterday, I slept good and I'm on early to try to make up for it. I've already streamed 24 hrs this week. According to my spreadsheet I just have to stream 1 more hr this week to be ok. That feels totally doable.

    Starting the day off right with 9 hrs rest, yummy coffee, 16 oz water, and 20 min of the Ho'oponopono.

    Intentions today are to eat clean, drink a total of 80 oz water, keep my vibe up, and meditate.

    Sure. It's a negative energy clearing meditation that you can use to heal yourself, other people, and manifest what you'd like in your life. I'm currently using it to clear negative energy and also manifest more income.

    It's very simple, but it's very powerful if engaged in consistently. It consists of 4 phrases: I love you; I'm sorry; Please forgive me; Thank you.

    What you're doing is addressing the Divine. Petitioning for change. It's about taking responsibility for what has happened in your life. This removes inner blocks within you to change your reality.

    "I'm sorry" is apologizing for being unaware. "Please forgive me" is asking for forgiveness in regard to being unconscious. "Thank you" is to show gratitude for taking care of the removal of what's inside and around you. "I love you" is the language of the Divine.

    It does help reduce stress for me and relieve some anxiety. Let me get a link to a YouTube.
