right now I just feel like if I do another lap dance I'm going to die. I'm addicted to the money, so I don't know what to do. I'm seriously considering retirement (at age 20).

I think you just need a vacation. do you go to school or have another job? Maybe you just need time off and to focus on other things for a while. I f you are just 20 there is probably no other way you can make this much money right now.So i dont think you will be happy flipping burgers or as a secretary making 1/4 of what you make now.
I agree, when I get that way, all I need is a vacation, something else to focus on..I get so damn tired of doing my stupid hair and wearing stupid makeup and talking to stupid ass men, lol. I am at the moment retired, thus retired dancer, but I quit working in the winters, because I never make $ then. You just need a good vacation and something else to do. Take a break! Go have fun. It will get better.
Here's something I didn't learn until after I was twenty: you have to arrange your life in ways that take care of you. You have to meet your needs and protect yourself from things that are bad for you. You've had a rough year and I can easily beleive that you're in a place where dancing is bad for you right now. Put yourself first and don't do it if it's bad for you.

Ever think of bartending? It's not AS good of money, but if you get in a good place you can definately do well. Sometimes you need a break, and sometimes you need to move on...only you can decide which one that is. Decide for yourself what it is about the job that you can't stand, and if you can't fix it then maybe it is best if you do something else...especially if it makes you happier. Money....no matter how nice it is to have, doesn't compensate for being miserable doing something you can't stand. Good luck sweetie. PM me if you want to talk.
thanks guys - i wish i could try bartending, however my club seems very set on me being a dancer. i brought it up once and they were like no way - you're more valuable to us on stage than behind a bar. ick.
Maybe it is time to find a different job. Dancing is tough and it's not for everyone. If you don't want to be there, it will show and you'll make less money.
Do you have any other marketable talents?
If you think that you might like bartending, have you thought about going to other clubs in your area? You might also like waitressing. I have done both when I needed a break from dancing.
