I actually find the add on stuff worse.

There is no easy or quick solution to this but what I have decided is to get someone in two days a week. The plan would be that I work Mon/Wed/Fri so I can always view it like its only one day then I don't have to do it tomorrow if that makes sense. Then work Tuesday and Thursday at canvassing which I enjoy.

Just have to toughen up a bit aswell. Im sure most people don't like their jobs and there are obvious benefits to being a window cleaner. Im going to try and focus on those.

I'll get out tomorrow and just get my head down.

Thanks for all the posts.

If you hate the job that much you need to sell up and do something else IMO....lifes too short to spend your working life hating what you do...

Maybe get a job in a factory for a month, on £10ph. It’ll make you realise just how easy and good you have it doing the windows.

I was going to say the same thing try another job that in itself will perk you up depression and doing a job like that will increase it I would think,of course leave things open so you could return to what you are already doing.

Ive always had a full time job, I bought my first window round 18 years ago when 9/11 took hold and I thought I was going to lose my main job so did this as an add on. Ive now built that round to nearly 1000 customers and have 3 people working for me. Its very hard going as I still do a bit myself as I work shifts.

Ive spent weeks doing windows alone and it does have its good and bad points however nothing some music or a podcast doesn't sort. The lonelyness can get to you if you work alone and its very hard to keep motivated however my other job also reminds me of how good it is to work for yourself and also work outdoors.

I won't comment on the mental health side as I'm not a trained medic nor do I actually know you, what I will say is go and see your DR and explain your issues

I find keeping myself entertained all day helps 😀
This kept me going all day today - sometimes laughing out loud whilst working 🤣🤣🤣
