I've been having an issue lately of being absolutely terrified of going into work. I have to pay my house fee up front and I'm scared that I'm going to go in only to go home negative or with less than $40. I've been working 2am shift (24hr club) because it's only $40 to work but some nights that's even a struggle.
I use to be a top earner at most clubs I've worked at. I have many 1-2k nights. Last year around this time I was averaging about $1,200. Now it's a struggle to bring in $500. I don't know what's wrong with me. I get so freaked out talking to customers that I end up breaking down and crying in the back. I don't drink at work anymore; maybe I should start again?
I'm scared that I'll never make money again and if I do, it's a fluke because one customer decided to really like me.
I don't know what to do. I'm trying to get into a different line of work but the money is just as precarious (but at least I don't have to deal with men or take my clothes off!) I'm hoping that it will pay more than dancing eventually but for now, I need to stay at the club and make something. I can't pay my bills on only $40 a night :/

I know its hard to hear but things will turn around...you've made badass money before and you will do it again. I know you said your family can't help you financially but do you have any emotional support there? big hugs.
