It's not easy and so much demands on ourselves doesn't help, taking time out for yourself is important. I took a few weeks off work and it was so badly needed.
Most importantly talk to someone whether it's family or friends just talk and reach out  |

Harder than u think my friend used to 90/100 hrs meeting the demands of customers until that close friend my health said stop wait ur over exerting ur self so i cut down to 70
Its an Addiction we get a buzz from it giving satisfaction to customers feeding off their gratitude not nearly the money but knowing u have delivered in time
Addiction isnt just smoking or drugs sometimes its work |

Nope I worked and ran a rescue. With a rescue you don't get days off. I ran the rescue from 2011 to 2017/18 |

"I used to work 17-18 hour days 5-7 days a week it takes its toll on you after a while.
Dear God that's pathetic"
Really
As i said its an Addiction was nothing to work 15/16/17 hrs a day seven days a week surviving on 4/5hrs sleep a night this is something people have done over the millennia to get their business up and going then become adictated to and continue doing so for years after
As n as apprenticed 70/80hrs a week was normal it was fledging buisness as nd the ethics of the boss rubbed off on some of us not all |
