Okay I should be sleeping... but I had to write this quickly. This morning I woke up to about 10 emails in regards to my blog post all very amazing. I want to thank everyone for their support. There was a few questions that they had for me.
What drugs? For sleeping I am on a low dose of Trazadone and I was taking Celexta for the depression/ balancing out part.
You said you ran the business to the ground.. what? Okay, not really! However for me a handful of un-happy clients was the end of the world. I did do something smart and stop booking at the beginning of the new year for a few months to catch a breather. Now I am excited about OkiDoki. The best part is I have no expectations.
How much do I make? Hmmm I don't know that I would ever post that publicly. I will say in Okinawa OkiDoki was our fun money. Iwakuni I started to run it as a money maker. I think that was a huge mistake because I always enjoyed photography in Okinawa. So basically I am back to basics... only four sessions a month (at most). I would be lying if I said we didn't need the money... I mean we have five kids on E6 pay. However it is what it is and I rather donate the sessions than be miserable.
Sleep seems obvious? Okay I think I just assumed I was busy.. I think when are so sleep deprived you no longer have that reasoning in your brain. Three years is a long time with no sleep and I don't have childcare here.
Two people mentioned suicide in the emails they sent to me, so I would like to clarify. I never had that urge to harm myself or anyone else. I joked about smothering my children.. but anyone with small children get it.
How were you doing it all? I wasn't that is why I was a crab.
Do you have any advice? Go to the doctor if you are out of whack. If you get a bad one, make another appointment until someone listens, and don't be to hard on yourself.
You are brave for telling this to everyone- Not brave at all... just I wish more people would talk about these things.
Anymore questions email me ;)
