    Dunno what’s up with me atm but my MH has went to shit again this week. Felt so low and anxious since Saturday night. I had a great week last week, I should feel happy and proud of myself but I feel so low, useless and demotivated. Took two days off and thought that would help but nope, still feel shitty. Gonna force myself to muster up some energy to ring the Drs later and up my meds as I can’t afford to be taking a load of time off.

    Dunno why but can barely manage 20 min HIT on the bike. My stamina is shot! Ugh.

    Addition:

    Just bought the FLOWTIME meditation headband to track progress of meditation sessions. Excited to see my results.

    I asked him to take the love languages quiz. Turns out we're compatible. I asked him to take the attachment style test & he's secure. (Patrick lied on his). I'm really looking forward to getting to know Mustafa more.

    He's taking me out for Mediterranean tomorrow, pool Tues, & if all is well...I'm cooking him chicken adobo Wed & we'll watch a movie at my place.

    I'm not about rebounds, but getting to know someone new isn't against my rules.

    I'm happy & it's quite nice.

    We went on a second date today and he was early. I had Babaganush (SP) but that shit was GOOD. He was the perfect gentleman and even held my hand. He's been responding to my messages with lightning quick speed and it's really nice.

    I'm not rebounding, but the positive attention is ACE!!!
    Yes! Enjoy it girl <3

    Feeling a lot better today. Have a drs appointment in a couple of weeks so hopefully work on a way to improve/manage my MH then. Done a lot of OnlyFans research as I’m in a slump with that and was about to give up on it. Feel a lot better about it and have some new ideas so that’s good. About to dye my hair and give myself a bit of a pamper then clean the house. I’ll get back to streaming tomorrow, hopefully feel like a new woman by then haa

    Took a quick break to meditate on gratitude. This AM has been great. Low goal, healthy smoothie, good tea, and good morning text messages from M. I'm happy.

    Got the FLOWTIME meditation headband & did a Synctuition meditation. B waves were high which means I was alert & focused.

    20210128_041045.jpg

    UPDATE:

    25 min Synctuition meditation. My B waves were high so I was focused & intense. Second highest score was O wave which was deep relaxation or light sleep. I'm proud of these stats & want to improve.

    Synctuition claims Gamma waves are accessed during each journey. That's no lie. Yesterday's meditation to the Passion journey had my Gamma waves at 13%. That's high! Damn Synctuition & FLOWTIME rock!

    Default Cammodels: Managing Stress & Selfcare

    I apologize in advance for the vent, but I have to hide from everyone irl and I don't know where else to ask. I come from an extremely abusive family (both parents narcissists) and a third world country. After a ton of hard work and sacrifice and working vanilla jobs, I was able to graduate college and get a job that allowed me to move out from my parents house.

    Then I married someone who lost their job when covid hit and my job is paying me half of what it used to, so I have been camming for a year and a half. I am trying to be grateful for the fact that we have food and I am away from my physically and emotionally hurtful parents but I hate it so so much.

    I will list some reasons because I am fairly isolated and I google and find all those "I just love my life as a camgirl" posts and I am going through a deep depressions.

    1. I was always a tomboy/queer and having to pretend to be feminine, do make up, wear lingerie is causing me dysphoria and stress. I tried to cam as more of "real me" but I was told that I am "too plain" and didn't make money, so it's not an option.

    2. ENDLESS boring, repetitive conversations and creeps trying to guess my country, time zone, vanilla past job (it must be morning there atm, right?). Someone said that camgirls are virtual geishas, but I disagree, because geishas entertained powerful intelligent men, while (me at least) have to deal with toxic individuals who have zero interest in self development and the personality of a dead fish.

    3. Having to engage and fake arousal from disgusting sex acts. I am a demisexual and unless I feel a deep emotional connection with them I do not feel sexual attraction. It still blows my mind how those men think that doing c2c and seeing a disheveled micropenis hoarder masturbating in his pajamas on his couch can arouse me.

    4. The ups and downs in payments and the constant stress over it, having to sit online for hours and hours and make next to nothing.

    5. The constant demands for emotional labor, bitching, nagging and whining. I couldn't cam on Christmas because 2 poor younger relatives came to spend the holiday with me and my husband and a regular fan club member threw a fit and said "I logged in for you every night and you never showed up!". I asked him if I should have kicked my family on the street to create privacy to cam. I feel unprofessional responding like that (ok, rarely), but I wonder why those losers think I owe them to put them above my family (I had messaged that I won't be live during the holidays).

    6. I suffered from anorexia as a teen and the constant comments on my body are triggering me. I also started with my real age on one site (32), made next to nothing and then joined another and put 27 as fake age and did much better. All that ageism from much older men. Apparently at 32 I am too old to entertain men in their 40s and 50s. Great for my self esteem.

    I could go on, but I won't burden you further, if you have read this far thank you so much. I wanted to get this off my chest and I am asking if anyone has negative feelings and how do you deal with them. If you offer advice, I would be very happy to follow.

    Thank you

    Natalie

    There is no comment showing as deleted? I would be able to see it if there were. Originally there was only one post and that belonged to her.

    Finding FLOWTIME a bit glitchy. Of 16 sessions 2 have just totally glitched out. That's not a good sign for a device that's $200. I might need to talk to customer service about this.

    I love the features, but I want it to work for what it's worth.

    Will try another meditation session today to see if it continues.

    Sounds like maybe you hit burnout.

    What has helped me in the past and recent past is taking a break from live streaming and either focus on other eggs-(content, PSO, membership sites,etc) , side hustles or pick up a job. (I recently did this, and have picked up part time jobs in the past.)

    -Self care- loving and taking good care of yourself- eating well- proper nutrition, learn coping skills to deal with and manage stress (this thread is full of good tools,) a good support network- I believe moneybags mentioned pineapple support has a weekly support group.

    -As far as customer interactions- they can get draining. I would take the time to list out the interactions that drain you and come up with ways to effectively manage them. (and take breaks when it gets to be too much)
    (I'm stopping here for now- otherwise I would write a novel.)

    Took the rest of today off after 8 straight days streaming. Taking tomorrow off to self care.

    Getting social medicine tonight with M the guy I'm seeing. We are playing bar games & I'll cheat on my diet & have 2 glasses of wine.

    I napped off & on after cam. Was totally burnt out. Going to be kind to myself & chill.

    Pool with M last night was ACE! I lost 4-1 but not by much. I had at least a ball or two on the table when he won verses having 5 or more. So he beat me but not totally killed me hahahaaa.

    We had brisket nachos and I had wine. We laughed quite a bit and smiled a lot.

    I like spending time with him. He's optimistic and I like it.

    Today is my full day off and it's been great. Slept 10.5 hrs lololll totally needed that. Meditated, ate yummy food, vid chatted with M, and did some live streaming to connect with old friends.

    I'm well, so very well which is a surprise as I have SAD (seasonal depression) and I've avoided it this winter so far. I'm pleasantly surprised and feel totally spared. God Bless self care!!!

    I’ve spent the beginning of the week do basic self care. I talked to my therapist. I’ve had a lot of doctors appointments. I got a new battery for my car because it needed a jump like almost everyday! I bought a new cell phone carrier (I was stranded at the grocery store because I didn’t have data to get an Uber!) Got medicine for another UTI (probably from camming.) I’m going to eat some yummy food and do cardio. All things considered I’m doing good I just have a lot on my plate. I think I’m going to clean my apartment tonight. I still have soooo much to do, but I think I’m gonna tap out at midnight and go to bed. I’m trying to journal every night before bed.

    Next week, I’m going to clear my calendar and do a camathon. I need a week where I can just focus on making money.

    Sounds like you're doing a great job. I missed support group twice due to Mon dates. I'm moving them to Tues so I can attend Mon group.

    You've been through a lot yet coming out on top. That killer $$$ week is proof. You just keep being badass sister!

    Holy fuck!!! Just had the most successful Synctuition meditation session. I was super focused on manifestations and it shows:

    Gamma wave frequencies at a whopping 17% and Beta at 43%. That is fuckin wild. I mean it felt good AF and I was seeing my manifestations before my eyes, but to see the data just blows my mind.

    Been doing morning yoga. It's short but it gives me energy and puts me in a good mood.

    It was so slow on cam I took a meditation break. Totally happy with Gamma wave production: 18%. I was seriously focused on LOA visualizations the whole time. Rad!
