Signs you might be burning out
- Dreading your inbox, or checking it constantly.
- Feeling you cannot take a day off without losing everything.
- Saying yes to requests outside your limits to keep people happy.
- Sleeping badly, or feeling anxious about being found out.
Boundaries that protect you
- Set working hours for messages, and tell fans when replies happen.
- Write your limits down, and treat them as final. They protect you on bad days.
- Batch content in a few sessions a week, so you are not creating every day.
- Take real time off. Schedule posts ahead if you need to.
Dealing with abuse
You do not have to read every message. Use filters, block quickly and report serious abuse to the platform. If someone threatens you or shares your content without consent, keep evidence and report it; our leaked content guide explains how.
