    Default I'm in a Slump!

    This year I moved from Montreal to Italy to live with my boyfriend, then broke up with him and moved from Italy back to my hometown of Vancouver. Since I've been back, I've found a really good club to work at, but I have NO motivation to go in - and when I do find the motivation, I can't work without drinking! I used to be the queen of sober shifts, and while I didn't always feel like going in, I did anyways. Now, working even one shift a week feels like a huge effort for me.

    It's not like I don't need the money - I'm going travelling in Asia next year and then moving to New Zealand. I have clear goals of how much I need and I know exactly what I want to do. But in the hours before I have a shift, those things don't seem to matter to me at all! I just want to stay home.

    I've wanted to try escorting for a long time, so I met with an agency and am starting this week. I think the change of pace will be good for me. But I don't want to stop dancing completely - I like stripping and I have good friends at the club I work at here.

    I've had bouts of depression before, bad ones, and this doesn't feel the same - I'm happy in my day to day life, I'm spending time with my friends that I haven't seen in years, and I'm really excited about the direction my life is going. It's specifically a lack of motivation around working that I can't seem to conquer. So I guess my question for the ladies who have been through the same thing is: how did you get back in action? How did you start getting your motivation again?

    Thanks girls!

    Just out of curiosity, can you pinpoint what exactly is driving your lack of motivation? Like, is it the club, the customers, something else in your personal life, etc. How long have you been stripping? I'm not a stripper, but have definitely had the same feelings with escorting before. Maybe escorting and having a change of pace might be a good solution. Another suggestion, albeit simple, is maybe to get some new stripping gear/outfits, come up with a new dance routine, new music, etc. (sorry if these are silly suggestions!)

    Actually, those are really good suggestions, so thank you! I'm the queen of needing to wear new clothes out the moment I get them, so that could actually work. I've been thinking about what isn't driving my motivation and I think I finally figured it out. I don't want to go to work because I am just so not in kind of the "party/club mode" right now, if that makes sense. I don't go clubbing at all anymore, and if I do go out it's either to a restaurant or just to a lounge or something. I went and saw the condo where I'll be doing incalls today and I think I'm just in a phase where I kind of need to be one on one and quiet. Being around the kind of "party atmosphere" of a strip club is really wearing me down right now!

    Oh yay, glad I could help! And yes, that totally makes sense. Sounds like you found the perfect thing to help you take a break from that environment and you will go back when you feel ready. I have that going on with actually partying/clubbing in my personal life right now, so I totally understand! Just not interested in being in those environments lately, not sure why!

    Oh, where in Asia are you headed? I did that exact trip nearly 3 years ago now. I went to Thailand,Laos, Burma, Cambodia and Vietnam before heading to NZ to visit some friends I made while in Asia. I left with around 15k after tickets and stuff, so maybe setting that amount as a goal will help motivate you?
