When you can't take time off but feel drained, how do you cope?

[Becky B]

Some people need to get a bit of the old backbone and a bit of the good old british stiff upper lip.

 

So Einstein, when someone is self employed and need to take time of due to stress, the self employed takes a few weeks out.

 

Great idea, until one considers the following problem, when one is not working, one is not earning and ones bills and mortgage need paying. HOw does one cope when one is suddenly financially in trouble?

 

Yes, one has had a bit of time out, but one now is finacially in trouble due to one not earning any money

 

Is it just the stress you have such a problem with? What does the self employed person do if they break their leg, for example? That's something you can see, so must be real in your black and white world.

The end result is the same - not working, not earning.
