Burn out : Need help or support
Sex work is a demanding activity where one is often confronted with solitude because of the secrets that surrounds him or the feeling of being stuck , to have no other choice. These two feelings sometimes lead to burnout . It is very exactly in this case that it is important not to be alone !
The signs of burnout are close to those of depression and are:
- Chronic fatigue and mental exhaustion, which does not disappear even after a break (for ex : holidays).
- Distance from work, that is to say, the loss of pleasure and motivation at work and can lead to the desire to change jobs.
- Physical disorders, such as insomnia, repetitive illnesses, lack of appetite, digestive problems, headaches and backaches, vertigo, palpitations.
- Psychic disorders: increased irritability, increased inner anxiety, inability to detach after work, agitation, feeling of emptiness, lack of spirit, fear, boredom, despair, resignation, frustration, feeling of uselessness.
- Difficulty of concentration and decision making, doubts about oneself.
- Behavior change, such as withdrawal, hyperactivity, substance use with high risk of addiction, more interest in recreational activities
