Hi everyone,

This might sound like a stupid question but do you ever force yourself to work if let's say you feel a bit unwell for some reasons ?
I don't mean unwell in the sense of being sick or having a health issue but more if you feel depressed/unmotivated.

It's very hard sometimes not to force yourself especially when you have the financial pressure on your shoulders.

I think you need a little holiday or a few days to yourself to go swimming, a walk, a trip to the seaside or country, or anything else that you can distance yourself, reboot, refresh and most importantly, switch off.

Sometimes, I’m just not feeling it - it’s not that I’m depressed or anything, it’s more that I’m not in the right frame of mind to put on a fake smile, be sexual and entertain, and no financial incentive will make me accept a booking. When I feel like this, I have been known to take whole months and only resume seeing clients again when either I’m more in the mood or a favourite regular contacts me - this is largely why I prefer only to see regulars as there is less need to put on an act if I’m feeling a little off in some way.

But, I am in the privileged position of having a job outside of this so am not reliant on escorting to pay my bills. I think if I was escorting full-time, this would be tricker. I am prone to malaises, always have been, and one of the many reasons I couldn’t do this as my only or even main source of income.

I get like that usually after I have had time off when I'm on my periods. It's usually an effort to motivate myself to get back into it. I only work around 10-12 days a month but usually once I start back again and the money starts rolling in I then become motivated again.

Definitely around my period I don’t feel like working also if I have a massive gap between clients it’s hard to get motivated again 😩

I think it's good to give yourself a pep talk if you're just feeling lazy or not in the mood, as usually once you get showered, made up and the client arrives it's all fine.

I'm less convinced it's a good idea to work when you're ill, tired or feel very strongly that you don't want to, unless you're desperate for cash. If nothing else, there's the danger of providing a poor service, which longer term is likely to have a negative effect?

Thank you very much everybody for your participation !

Yes lately has been quite hard for me especially since I rely only on escorting so sometimes I'm really desperate for cash despite being in a very unmotivated and bad mood, which in the end as Kay mentioned will lead to a bad service also putting yourself in a vicious circle of negativity, which can potentially lead to burn out.
I'll take some holidays very soon so hopefully will have the time to reflect and work on myself

This is my problem, too. I can't switch off no matter what I do 

It's been like this for the last 7 years as well.
