And if so, do you think it's a result of the work, or perhaps that the job attracts people who were ill in the first place?

I don't know if there's a high percentage with "mental health" issues, but I can name more than 20 that do have "mental problems" of some sort.

Personally I'm not sure how much it is to do with the business, I think these problems where there to begin with, but tend to surface due to webmaster boards and the fact that this is to an extent an isolationist business.

I bet most of you have no idea how scary mental illness can be.


Like Trev, I think you'd be surprised.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I see it as an adaptation thing. I don't think the work is what causes issues. I think (and know im my case) that this career, so to speak, was what I figured out that I could do that would allow me to earn money. I *needed* to work at home. I didn't just want to.

So the net was the obvious answer, and porn from that.

Looks that way. ;)

Seriously, I've seen way too many posts on boards, or had private conversations with people that indicate many of us have some sort of issue. I just like to joke about mine. Might as well. ;)

It's a big, damned boat, urb.

I'm like selena...I *had* to work from home.

I once mentioned being an agoraphobic on an adult webmaster message board...and my inbox lit up. I got a *lot* of "me, too!" emails. These people were working from home due to an inability to leave their homes. I'm more of a "recovering agoraphobic" now...which means sometimes I can go out, sometimes...uh...nope.

Actually, the line I stole was "Some people have issues, I have a subscription" but it was borrowed from a line I saw on a geek humor board "Some people have issues, that bitch has a subscription"

so, Anthony's and my cases of "stealing" were merely "sampling"
