It would seem - well, where does a copywriter get a stressful situation at his job? Working from home, in a familiar and comfortable environment? However, those who have been working for more than a day or even a year know perfectly well that depression can occur out of the blue …
The disadvantages of working as a copywriter are, more often than not, the continuation of the merits of this type of activity. Yes, a person works at home, "and the walls help him," but … He spends the whole day in the same room, he lacks communication and impressions, and this develops a kind of sensory hunger - the main reason for tiredness of the soul and body, and means despondency.
The attitude of others to the work of a copywriter is also of great importance. Even if a person's contribution to the "family pot" is not so small, often the attitude of the household to his type of activity is frivolous. A common stereotype: you have to “go to work”, and if a person “sits” at home all day, then he doesn't seem to work. And what is it like for a woman, who is officially considered a non-working housewife, to hear reproaches from her relatives after a day of hard work: “Why didn't you do this, you’re sitting at home?”. This is a very serious irritant and a reason for resentment and tears …
Despite the lack of communication, the negative can get and working from home. Criticism of customers, a rejected article, refusal to pay - all this also seriously knocks out the ruts. And waiting and searching for orders, getting to someone on the "black list", but all this against the background of dissatisfaction of webmasters, home … Here you are depressed, your hands give up, you don't want to do anything. There comes disbelief in oneself, dissatisfaction with oneself.
How can you avoid all this? It would seem that this is obvious: there is not enough communication - communicate, someone is dissatisfied with you - prove your innocence and solvency. Actually, that's how it is, we must try not to move to the Internet completely. Leave time and place for real communication with real people, set aside time for walks, doing what you love.
Since the copywriter does not have a boss, he must take on this function himself! But not to drive yourself, but on the contrary - to encourage. Reward yourself for good work by going to the library or hairdresser, meeting with friends, buying a beautiful piece of furniture or wardrobe.
Do not be afraid of criticism! Any failure is, first of all, a lesson. Everyone has failures, everyone gets comments, but more often than not, these comments are true. But even with full confidence in your innocence, you should not indulge in arguments and explanations - this will only take away your strength and spoil your mood.
And finally come to an agreement with your family. Explain that this “sitting at home” is not the fate of a housewife or “temporarily unemployed,” but this is a job that brings such income. So far - such, but maybe this is the beginning of the career of a famous writer!
It is impossible to completely rid oneself of all negative influences with any kind of activity or even inaction. But you can reduce them to a minimum without bringing the matter to a complete "burnout", which will be difficult to cope with.
