    Question CSB: Chronic Stripper Burnout. Do you have it?

    I came to a realization a few days ago that I am chronically burnt out of this industry. I've been trying to figure out "what my problem is" - why I can't manage to consistently work even one shift a month. I thought it was because of a plethora of other issues (maybe I need to work more often? maybe working dayshift instead of nightshift will help? maybe I need a fresh persona? maybe I should travel and dance?). I just moved to a new state that has cheaper dance prices, higher contact, etc. Sure, that stuff sucks, but it isn't the root of the problem. So I've decided that I'll strip when I can bring myself to do so (I only go in when I truly have the energy to hustle & entertain), but I'm going to stop telling myself that "I'll totally work tomorrow" when I clearly won't.

    Surprisingly, I couldn't find any threads on SW about being chronically burnt out.

    I wrote in my journal yesterday: "Even though I've now taken over two years off from dancing consistently, my burnout has persisted. In my case, the standard supportive mantra of "take a few weeks off! get a massage! go for a walk! start a new hobby!" is like trying to cure an enormous, throbbing brain tumor with Tylenol."

    Anyone else out there with CSB? I'd love to hear that I'm not the only one!

    I think I suffer from a version of this. I take frequent breaks. I'll feel good and cheery the first night and, if the money is hard to find, my mood takes a nose dive. I can't imagine actually HAVING to work on a regular basis.

    Yep! I'm Burnt the Eff Out!

    What gets me through... allowing myself to be lazy on off days without feeling guilty. No makeup on my off days. Hiking/walking/kayaking/strolling/lounging. Getting some sun helps too.

    Switching clubs is a nice change of pace if you have that option...

    " Tai Chi, Chai Tea..."-- Lisa Simpson

    It's a struggle. I know...

    New hair/outfits help. Staggering my schedule helps... 4-days in a row aren't the best idea for me, personally.

    You know what helps me go to work? Remembering the feeling of remorse that I have after a missed evening ends. "I'm still awake... and I could have been in the club making money! Damnit!"

    Miss as many days as you like for a while if that is what you need. Then come back with a vengeance and stronger than before.

    I should be BANKING right now. I have never been prettier, or more in shape, or more sure of myself. I finally figured out what color to paint my nails, how to do my makeup perfectly, and which outfits flatter my body type. My hustle is a fucking automatic weapon these days. And yet...I just...can't!

    Aaaargggh!!!

    I can totally relate to this thread. I constantly feel burnt out by the industry. Even thinking about going into work gives me a migraine. I've tried everything; playing around with new hair/makeup/clothing looks, different schedules, different clubs, perfected my hustle, tried different stripper personas, etc...dancing isn't for me (as I now realize over 4years later, lol), which makes me feel even more burnt out when I do have to work.

    I'm sorry you are feeling this way, and I totally understand where you are coming from. Have you considered leaving the industry all together (if this is an option)?

    Your journal entry summed it up perfectly. I'm ready to quit, but I am making a big move to a new city very soon. Go figure I finally want to throw in the towel right as I need money for furniture,etc. (The couches, tables, tv that I did have was destroyed in Hurricane Sandy) I'm going to apply for a regular job while in school, but deep down I know I'll end up back in the club at least temporarily while I figure out how I'll survive.

    Thanks for speaking up! I'm very thankful that I saved all of my money from when I danced during college. My years of frugal living are paying off! I'm also lucky to have no resume gaps, and I have alternate careers in the works (I have one degree already, and I'm getting my massage license while I establish residency in my state to go back and get a second degree in a field I'm passionate about).

    I do enjoy dancing every once in a blue moon, so I'm guessing there won't be a formal end to my dancing career. I just have to recognize that my days of being able to dance even a few times a month are over.

    What about you? Are you working on switching careers?

    I know right?! I just moved halfway across the country, and I thought I was going to have a blast trying out new clubs in my new state while recouping my moving expenses. Eep.

    Charlie61 - THANK YOU for making this thread! I agree 100%, in fact, I was contemplating starting a thread about this!

    I honestly love being a stripper and being able to make such great money and work whenever the hell I want. But being able to choose my own schedule is also my downfall, I rarely ever work! I returned to work a week and a half ago after randomly taking a month off! I just couldn't bring myself to go, the environment gets so stressful and I always keep more than enough money in the bank for all my bills so I don't have anything influencing me to take my ass into work. Now I haven't worked since I was there a week ago.

    I was actually going to ask ladies for tips on how to mentally prepare myself and encourage myself to keep working. On the days that I do work, my earnings are usually pretty good. I should have way more money saved up then I do.

    I think I do. I just took a three week vacation from dancing (granted, it was to buckle down for finals at school, but still) that I've only been back from for three weeks, yet I'm already feeling like I need a legitimate vacation. I guess it's reasonable to be tired since I've been working 5 days a week, which is a lot, but I need to save a ton of money over the summer so it seemed like a good idea at the time to schedule myself so much.

    Yesss. I just moved from a state that had schedules to a state that has zero scheduling, and that was basically the last straw for my motivation! I have no idea how girls motivate to get their asses into the club on a regular basis.

    Wow that is actually the reverse for me. Many clubs in my area there is a schedule requirement (and depending on the club you get fined if you cancel a booking) and it's been killing my motivation to go in.

    Im definitely working on getting out of dancing for good. Work stresses me out, I constantly feel burnt out, and it effects my depression horribly. When I first started dancing I was working 6 nights a week, then 4-5 nights, and finally downgraded again to 3-4 nights a week. Which is probably why I have CSB, lol. I just don't have it in me anymore to dance much longer.

    I'm also finishing my second degree (which I'm almost done with thank god!), and I have been interviewing with a company for the last couple of weeks. I did turn down an offer from another company...something didn't feel right about it. If I get this job offer then ill leave dancing entirely.

    Saving money and frugal living is a dancers best friend!! And you especially have an advantage; a college education, and no gaps on your résumé/current work.

    If you do still have to dance from time to time, maybe you could work it out where your regulars all come in at specific times throughout the night (less stress about making $$ when you know you have some $$ coming in for you), making sure the DJ plays all the music that really makes work as fun for you as possible, and maybe have a best girlfriend work the shift with you (I always feel not as lonely if a good girlfriend works the shift with me).

    You're on the right path to eventually getting out. Especially with your regular job and schooling to support that.

    YES! My scumbag brain accepts the worst excuses for me to stay home.

    "You just ate. Now you're bloated. Stay home"
    "Your hairs frizzy. Stay home"
    "It's drizzling. Nobody is coming to the club in this weather. Stay home."
    "It's beautiful today. Nobody is coming to the club in this weather. Stay home."
    "Are those flurries? Stay home."
    "If you leave now, you'll have to pay a $60 house fee instead of a $30 house fee. Don't pay those bastards an extra $30, stay home and leave earlier tomorrow."
    "Let's level up on Clash of Clans. Stay home."
    "You're going to be sleepy by time the club closes. Stay home."
    "You already have money. Stay home."
    "iPod isn't charged. Stay home."
    "You shaved your vag 3 days in a row now. Do you really want to push it to four? Might get razor burn. Stay home."
    "Your rent isn't due for another 6 days. Stay home."
    "Nail polish is chipped. Stay home."
    "I think your periods coming. Imagine being on stage as the red river starts flowing. Stay home to save yourself the embarrassment."
    "Let's troll the comments on Yahoo. Stay home."
    "The cute bouncer is off today. Stay home."




    Ugh, I think we need to start a thread to motivate eachother to go to work since it seems most of us can't do it ourselves.

    So glad I came across this thread. I've been struggling with this burnout thing too. When I left the club 4 years ago- I didn't leave the industry altogether, but I missed being the star on the stage, that glamorous goddess, gracefully and naturally picking out my victims on the floor and whisking them off to private dance for them and take their money.

    I came back 2 months ago expecting I could put in a few days a week consistently to put some $$ aside for starting my business when I am done school(currently finishing my last course). To my surprise, the first month I worked once a week and though I was making more per shift than I used to on a given shift when I was working more often before leaving, it feels like I have to mentally psych myself out the day before and the day that I am actually coming in.

    I've had some family problems and I've been needing to spend more time at home and since I have money saved in the bank from before I quit years ago, it feels a bit selfish to abandon my other responsibilities to go and make some extra money the hard/fast way.

    I keep telling myself that I will go back to 3 days a week once things are sorted out at home, but I get so anxious being worried that it will be a waste of time. It would be a lot easier if I could just "show up" when I am felling super sexy and have an unshakeable confidence about me that will ensure I have a fantastic night, but the club I work at requires a week by week scheduling, so lately I've been scheduling In for only a couple slow shifts a week and the. I end up calling into cancel- so unprofessional... At least I call in instead of being a no show lol

    It would be great it there was some reading material out there geared toward helping sales pros deal with burnout.
    Anyone know of any books or audio series like this?

    I wonder if I have this. If I take any lengthy period of time off I find myself so nostalgic for stage but then when I finally go in I want to go home as soon as I've completed my first stage show.

    It's a similar experience to when I initially trying to quit smoking. I would fantasize in detail about smoking a cigarette but when I would cave and light up the actual experience was comparatively lackluster.

    Do you think it could potentially be chalked up to you being bored with the industry? For those of us who have been in this business for a while I wonder if burnout could actually be boredom. You know how to hustle like a pro, you know how to put on a spectacular stage show,you know exactly what to say and how to say it, and so forth. But what happens to that sense of adventure once you've mastered everything? It all becomes a little mundane.
    ^ Not trying to imply that I am ze superstripper. I just think most girls who've been in this business for a while know exactly what they're doing and have mad skillz.

    I imagine that I have a a tank (imagine a gas tank) of emotional, spiritual, physical energy, kinda like a gas tank.When I am on E (feel totally drained and apathetic) I make myself stay home because I know I'll either get myself fired or I'll quit office space style (fuck you and fuck you and fuck you!!!!). When I'm about half full I use discretion before going to work. I know my ability to handle drama and chaos is limited. If I'm 3/4 full then it means I don't have a justifiable excuse not to go in and I need to go. I use that in my personal life too. I don't answer phone calls, do favors, or anything else if I'm on E. If I'm halfway full, I make sure I'm taking care of myself before taking care of others.

    Yep, I have this too. Took a three month break and just did private parties, but finances got tight so I had to go back. I work at the club one day a week and its just so hard to go in, even though 99% I make my goal. I get so much anxiety before hand, I psych myself out and become convinced I'm gonna do horrible. I feel intimidated by the other girls, and the customers. Dancing in the club just isn't for me anymore, but I need the money to go back to school. Glad to see other dancers feel the same.

    ^strange thing-- I agree with this post but I'm fine and super confident when I'm actually in the club. It's only right before going that I have to really struggle to psych myself up.

    I used to be confident in the club. Now, not so much..even though at 32 I don't really feel old, but sometimes it is tough for me working with a bunch of 20 year olds. I get told I'm hot all the time, but it's those few rejections that bother me :-/ I feel my skin has gotten thinner over the years, which doesn't bode we'll for this business.
    I much prefer doing parties, just wish there were more of them.

    I wish I could blame my burnout on just motivation. Mine is because money is shitty at my club (wrote a post a few days ago) and I don't have any other viable options to leave. Instead of only working 2 days I picked up a third day hoping it would all go better and money could equal out. My bf pays all the bills, but I'm greedy. I like to buy whatever I want, but he is the one guy I DON'T want to just hand me money. I feel guilty since he takes care of me and the kids. I think it especially bothers me because before I went part time this year so I'm earning 1/3 of what I used to make. I am the cause of my own burnout.
