I work as a cameraman and video editor. I film weddings, business promos, live events, conferences etc. So I spend countless hours at a computer editing. I am making a big effort to get a better balance now. I was joking with someone the other day saying that I'm not going to work 24/7 anymore - I'm just going to do work 14/7 now! (He called me a part-timer !! Lol) I have buried myself in work now for years, partly because of the necessity to earn money, partly to avoid emotional pain. I am hopeless at holding down a regular job due to social anxiety and other issues, so in some ways I am stuck in self-employment. My marriage (finally) broke up over 2 years ago and now I am trying to date again, but it's hard to do.
