Has anybody been prescribed benzodiazepines and found that pole has suddenly become harder? I feel like I lost so much strength in just starting lorazepam two weeks ago. I also just can’t dance as fluidly as I used to and I’m worried I’ll never get it back as long as I’m on my prescription.

I just want to know if it’s gonna get better or if I’ve permanently hit a wall lol

Edit: I was being directed to take a .5 dose morning and night. I have severe anxiety and it seems every medication I’ve been put on has affected my pole dancing negatively.

I have been an assistant for 3 years at different salons all promising further education and not delivering on said education. I’m at my current salon wondering if it’s even worth staying anymore or if I should start over once again. I have been getting classes but they’re very sporadic and not consistent at all. There’s no timeline to when or even if I will ever get a chair here and it’s not a salon that brings in a lot of new clients. I am doing highlights, single processes, and glosses on models and if I take a new assistant job I will likely be starting over again and learning glosses and blowouts for the first few months.

Has anyone been through this? Is it worth it to start over again? Should I just keep waiting for a change?

I feel very discouraged and honestly don’t even know if this field is for me anymore.
