It’s been tough.
I’m coming out the other end now where I’m mostly “ok”, but still sort of struggling a bit to keep a smile on my face and be in my work persona some times.
Sometimes it’s hard to leave personal problems at the door, especially when it’s something like relationship issues/break ups.
I took one day off a few months back during it all because I just couldn’t face taking bookings, but then a few busy day has taken my mind off things and it’s a welcomed distraction!
My most regular regular mentioned how he could tell I was a little blue the other week & that’s definitely not something I want a client to notice!
Anyway, onwards & upwards - but, just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this too while doing our job & how did you feel?

This job is fine when your feeling great but a tough one when your going through personal emotional issues isn't it .
Sometimes the last thing you want is sex but it pays.
But saying that at times you just want to either switch off or get distracted .
Takes time..and the ok days get better .
Keeping busy doing what you like also

It can be really, really difficult. I found that sometimes throwing myself whole-heartedly into my work self, though, could make all the difference and help me keep my chin up!

Looking at the front end of that myself. I had been working while feeling guilty because I was in a relationship. (Even though he knew.) Now he’s basically had a breakdown about my working, but also doesn’t want to fully support me, so- that’s it I guess. I feel kind of stupid for thinking that could go any other way.
I’ve been say “I’m sorry, I don’t work on weekends” for so long, it’s going to be weird actually taking those bookings. Hopefully a bigger pile of cash will cheer me up.
