Screening wearing me down - any motivational tips?
« on: 17 February 2025, 01:10:11 pm »
Lately I feel the worst part of the job isn’t an awful booking but the relentless, soul-destroying screening. Achieving a client through the door is getting tougher and I’m really struggling to start my day without a sense of dread.

My financial situation is spiralling. I’ve always kept on top of it but I feel the wolves at the door and a deep sense of daily despair. It’s really chipping away at me.

I know I just need to do that one nice client to propel me out of the constant vicious cycles. I’ve had several phone calls and emails today from awful sounding men and it perpetuates the feeling, ‘fuck it, I’m going back to bed.’ Often, I do because I can’t face it. I feel trapped. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I cam. I make enough to cover most of the bills so I’m grateful for that. But escorting income makes me thrive and I’ve got some great financial goals.

I have friends in the industry feeling much the same. I’m just feeling a bit sad for them and sorry for myself.

Does anyone else feel this way? I feel so sad. I could use some stoic pep-talking advice of support and to push through this low point ladies.taking a break isn’t an option and I’m skint. I need some strength. Much appreciated!

Xx

Similarly fed up thread here :)

If I need to make myself work I try to do just one booking and then tell myself I can stop, and more often than not after one I'm OK, but I do know that feeling of having that tidal wave of shite texts from arseholes and getting so fed up I give in and switch the phone off.

That's part of the reason I don't use the stupid available today thing on AW, because I know if I haven't got at least one decent one booked in by lunchtime I'll wind up sacking it because of the rest.

Thanks Amy.

Just doing the one client and telling myself I’ll stop is golden oldie and great tip. I’ll remind myself of that today and hopefully it’ll be the fuel I need to face my first client in weeks. It’s a good one that. And you’re right, when you’ve done your first, it’s enough to put you on a roll.

I know the feeling and I completely empathise. Least we’re not alone. It feels very lonely when you’re experiencing that.

I’ll go through that thread. Here’s to better days xx

I honestly believe the Andrew Tate / Trump culture is really influencing men in our culture, especially clients. They'd never admit it but they are becoming more rude, more demanding and just more nasty. I've noticed a real difference
