M/body fam, I truly at a loss right now, I don’t know what to do, and I’m so embarrassed to admit…I need help.

As some of you may know, I’m a freelance hair and makeup artist. I travel and work on set for film, and I work part-time locally as a receptionist for a salon. My income is purely “gig based,” which means I just have to wait around until I get booked on a high paying gig like a feature film, large bridal party, etc.

Last month, I was MOH in my sister’s wedding . 5 wedding showers, 2 bachelorettes, gas + food + hotels to and from GA 7 times, rental car fees, and other bridal party expenses completely drained my bank account. I haven’t been booked on any gigs since March, and with the recent writer’s strike, there’s no work in sight for me 😭 I’m barely surviving paycheck to paycheck with my part time salon job right now…

All of this has done a number on my already fragile mental health. I’m in recovery for Anorexia nervosa, and am on medication for major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. In light of May being #MentalHealthMonth, my mental health has taken a HUGE decline and I’ve been having moments where I don’t even want to be alive anymore because it’s just so hard for me to have hope…

I’m humbly asking…if anyone has any odd jobs that I can do remotely? I would be willing to do anything at this point! Or if anyone feels led to help me with gas and groceries, my cashapp is $lissafort or zelle: 5613077105 you guys this was so, so hard to type and truly I’m falling apart 😭

Hey M/Body Fam. Work is really tough right now and I could use some love and validation

Posted this in my IG story on Tuesday and was too lazy to mark off both activities on all 60 days, lol but I cleared the whole board baby!!!!!

Hey fam!! Happy challenge! I think this is my 5th or 6th challenge now?! I love how it gives me something structured to look forward to every day, and makes me feel like I’m a part of something. None of my friends live in the same state as me, and there’s not much community around here for my needs, but this fam makes me feel like I matter and that I belong ❤️

Hey M/Body Fam!

If anyone is looking to get rid of any workout outfits that they don’t wear anymore, I’m very interested! Most of my closet is secondhand and I’d like to keep it that way :)
