    Default Burn Out

    Who else is feeling the same way? I absolutely dread work right now. I finally paid off all my debt but I stupidly went on a tour thinking I would make bank but I just can't deal with all these idiots. I was trying to force myself into working as much as possible because I have a trip planned to India at the end of December. I was going to take that month overseas to recoup and have a lil vacation. But I literally cannot wait haha.

    I think I put too many money goals on myself! I want to make too high of an amount and save too much per month...because of how heavily I will be getting taxed (40%). Seeing all that hard earned cash that I tore my hair out making just disappear so quickly...it's a total buzzkill.

    I know I really need to structure my time better when I do fully return to escorting in the new year. I always feel like there's one more email to answer, or text to get to, and that each hour I'm not on my phone I'm losing a chunk of business/money/security. I can't leave work at the door ever! I love being independent because I get to keep all my cash, but sometimes I wonder if I wouldn't feel so burnt out with an agency. :S

    ahhhh i just really needed to vent. i wanted to save a significant amount of money before I went to India, but I think I'm just gonna make enough for my bills and my trip and take all the time off I need to take care of myself.

    I definitely feel you, Bambi. Lately when I am between calls, I am constantly running late because I don't wanna get up off my butt from my break to go to another call. I feel like someone is always saying, "NOW, NOW, NOW!!!" I came pretty close to having a breakdown the other night when I missed the exit to one of my kinda far away regulars to which I was already running VERY late. The next exit was 6.7 miles away, and I didn't put gas in my truck(which was on empty) before I left Bc of my hurrying, plus I forgot my phone charger, and my phone was dying fast. Couldn't find an open gas station Bc it was 3 am, and then I finally found one. Bought a phone charger and some Advil, and told the attendant to put the rest in gas. As I was pumping gas, I realized that I had just paid almost $30 for a phone charger, which I had already opened and plugged in. I cringed, but said screw it, got in my truck to leave, and moved forward and hit this really high curb, HARD! Then I reversed and hit one of those cement poles that are usually next to gas pumps, HARDER! I got out of my truck, not wanting to drive off looking like a maniac, in case anyone noticed, and in case I had damaged something. I freaked out a little, said "GD", and shed a few tears. Of course, once I got to my clients house, I was fine. But yes, I was feeling so burnt out and I was almost wondering why I had agreed to drive to a call That was almost an hour away, on a night that I had already worked late at my other job! Yes, I know this all sounds petty, but that is my "burn-out" story. I seem to go through phases of it. I, too, try to force myself to take as many calls as possible, Bc it all adds up, but sometimes when I have already made a decent chunk of money in a night, I find it so hard to push myself to the next call! But it's hard to give it up if I know it will be easy and it will be someone who won't make me work too hard. 😋

    January 2015 I took my last booking.

    Sex work I am burnt out but I have cut down my work load in it. focusing my time webcamming and looking into other online businesses I can earn a pretty decent amount from.

    http://anniesprinkle.org/how-to-cure...orker-burnout/


    Step 1

    Admit you are burnt out. This sounds easy, but it’s the hardest step. Our egos, as well as our incomes, are invested in feeling good about our work. It’s not easy to admit that you are a mess. See it as an opportunity to grow.

    Step 2

    Take breaks and vacations from your work as a matter of course. Get sun, fresh air, take a boat ride. Spend time in nature. You may never even get crispy.

    Step 3

    Spend time alone. Do something relaxing and meditative. A languorous candle lit herbal bath can do wonders.

    Step 4

    Get in touch with your feelings and express them. Repressed emotions alone can create burn out.

    Step 5

    Get professional therapy. It really can put things in perspective, and help you be more conscious about your personal challanges. Use only a non-judgmental, sex positive therapist. Be honest with yourself.

    Step 6

    Start a support group with other sex workers. The BEST cure of all is to share your experiences with your peers who have had similar experiences. It’s very empowering!

    Step 7

    Take good care of your body. Eat well, exercise, and get bodywork. A good massage can do wonders for a worn out whore or stripper.

    Step 8

    Get your mind off sex work. Take a class, go to a funny movie, hang out with children or old people. Make a list of the ten activities that make you most happy, and then do them.

    Step 9

    Be willing to make less money. Don’t let the client determine the service. Let the client know what YOU offer. Practice saying “NO” Clean out your little black book. Decide what kinds of people you want to work with, and be willing to let those that don’t fit the bill go by. Develop your own style.

    Step 10

    Create other sources of income. Look into other businesses and career opportunities. Go to college or trade school, start a sideline so that you won’t feel financially trapped. When you need a break from sex work, you’ll have an alternate source of income.

    Step 11

    Take a break from sex. Hey, you don’t HAVE to be sexy ALL the time! Give yourself a period of not having sex. This can help recharge your battery.

    Step 12

    If your SWBO is chronic, get the hell out of the business. Perhaps you’re simply not cut out for sex work, it’s not fulfilling your needs, or it’s time for a change. You may need to leave the biz gradually, or it or go ‘cold turkey’. If there’s a will, there’s always a way.

    Take good care of yourself.
    You’re worth it!
