Burnout, Isolation, and Work-Life Balance Issues

[chainsniff]

Freelancing offers flexibility, but it also comes with serious mental health challenges. Without a structured schedule, many freelancers end up overworking, struggling to separate personal life from work, and facing burnout.

Additionally, working alone can lead to isolation and lack of support compared to traditional workplaces. Combined with financial stress and constant pressure to find new work, this makes freelancing mentally demanding—even for experienced professionals.
