For several years, I was bent on making the most money possible and refused to waste my days away. So, I got up early every day, had my work phone with me 24/7, and refused to make any other plans or leave the house during my allotted work hours - all while anxious about income and comparing myself to other companions. Saw on the internet.

Looking back on the past, my lifestyle was clearly not sustainable. Over time, any semblance of a balanced life came out of the window. I had no energy or desire to hang out with my friends, I was neglecting my health and was disappointed with my work. Every time my phone rang, I was getting nervous and afraid to spend any time face to face with clients.

This was a classic case of burnout. I have suffered multiple stressors in my life over a long period that have left me drained and no longer performing at my best. She turned from bright and enthusiastic eyes to seriously not good.

What is burnout?

Burnout is a reaction to prolonged stress - most commonly, the stress produced by your work. If you feel overwhelmed, start to hate your job, and start to feel less capable or worthy (or you play the comparison game a lot), you may be showing signs of burnout. I think it's hard to deal with burnout as a factor in sex, because our work is intimate and requires intense emotional involvement. If left unchecked, burnout can wreak havoc with your health, happiness, relationships, and job performance.

#1: YOU’RE EXHAUSTED

You feel tired all the time. This can be mental, emotional, or physical exhaustion. You feel as though you don't have the energy to do the simplest tasks.

#2: YOUR DAILY UNIFORM IS PAJAMAS

You no longer feel enthusiastic about anything and are no longer motivated to achieve your goals. You may find it difficult to wake up in the morning and find it difficult to drag yourself into reservations. When exhausted, reservations were cancelled for the simplest reason, regardless of lost income. Headache? Better to cancel my reservation. Need to do groceries? Better to cancel. Do you feel a little hungry? Cancellation. You found the idea.

#3: THE WORLD FEELS OVERWHELMING

You may feel disappointed about everything and be more pessimistic than you are used to. You may find face-to-face bookings with customers more difficult than usual and get angry at the little things customers say. You might want to throw your phone against a wall every time you get a text message from a time announcer. While everyone experiences negative emotions from time to time, it is important to realize when these feelings become overwhelming.

#4: YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE SUFFERING

Personal problems can occur at work and at home. You may feel withdrawn during reservations, unwilling to interact or engage with customers. At home, you may find yourself in more quarrels with your partner, family, or roommate. You may find that even when you are actually there, you are upset.

#5: YOU’RE NOT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF

When suffering from fatigue, some people engage in unhealthy coping strategies such as drinking too much alcohol or smoking, being sedentary, and eating and sleeping too much or too little. These behaviors may help you temporarily feel better, but after a while you feel worse.

TAKE RELAXATION SERIOUSLY

What helps you relax and unwind? It could be meditation, music, reading a book, hanging out with friends, going shopping or visiting the beach. Find out what works for you and do it.

SET BOUNDARIES

As a sex worker in the internet age, it can be difficult to disconnect and move away from the phone. It can be more difficult to turn down reservations when you need the money. However, if you are struggling with burnout, allocating work and management hours can make a big difference. Set limits by turning off your work phone after hours and turning down reservations that interfere with your self-care activities.

CULTIVATE A RICH NON-WORK LIFE

Find something outside of the sexual act you are passionate about. It could be a hobby, a class at the gym, or a volunteer. The thing that you can look forward to and feel rewarded from is not about your working life.

GET ENOUGH SLEEP

Lack of sleep can lead to exhaustion, reduce motivation, make you more sensitive to stress, and make it difficult for you to reconcile competing demands. Getting enough sleep is essential for recovery and prevention of exhaustion. As a sex worker, it can be difficult to have a specific bedtime when you have unexpected hours and late nights. Nevertheless, I encourage you to establish a routine as best you can and follow it up evenings that permit. If you have a late night, be nice to yourself the next day.

SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP

Many symptoms of burnout overlap with symptoms of depression. If you feel completely overwhelmed, it is time to consider professional help. There are two ways to find a sex therapist in your area. The Psychology Today site lists therapists allied with sex workers - simply Google "Psychology Today is an allied sex worker therapist" with your city name (please be aware that Psychology Today lists psychologists as well as social workers, counselors, and psychotherapists. Make sure your therapist chooses what works best for you. Your needs). Alternatively, you can contact your local sex workplace peer organization and request a recommendation (simply the "peer sex organization" bearing the name of your city). Counterpart organizations often maintain lists of a variety of professionals who know they work well with sex workers.

I know it can be difficult to carve out time from your day to relax, leave the phone aside and turn down that late-night reservation in the name of self-care. However, complete burnout is no joke. If you are mentally and physically exhausted because your phone has been running 24/7 for months in a row, then you need to take a break. If you don't, you'll first dive into the blazing lands, with no choice but to turn down every reservation that comes your way.
