I am really tired today which may be contributing to my overall depressed mood. I am really down today. We had to stay awake for 24 hours for my daughter's (18) eeg today so I am really tired. My teddy bear Bethany did not sell on ebay. So now with Bethany, sydney and Kylee all not selling I am severly questioning whether or not any of my crafts are any good. It is all so depressing. maybe I am just too tired to deal with anything disappointing right now.

hi sweet sleep deprivation can definitely lead to depression. everything is harder and darker. you need some good sleep and then deal with life. pleasant dreams.

Sorry to hear that you are so down today. Try to get some rest after the EEG is over with and hopefully it will help with your depressed mood. EBay is hit or miss sometimes. Try not to get too discouraged.

hi sweet design get some really good sleep and then when you get up all refreshed nothing will look as black, and 'good things will start to happen when you are receptive'and in a better mood.Then you will see your teddys start to sell and you will be doing a happy dance.

I am sorry to hear of your troubles. I can understand that you would feel depressed through all of this. Tiredness can cause me to get down and depressed too. Just hang in there and hope for the best. My thoughts are with you. I hope you feel better.

i find that lately, not a lot of stuff is selling on ebay, so its not just you! i think if you relist them in say october, you might see some interest because everyone is shopping for christmas at that time...

Take a rest my friend, exhaustion plus frustration really leads to a great sorrow. I suggest that you take a good sleep first before engaging in any other activities. It will help you make your thoughts more organized.

Just now i remember lines of Shakespear, " Grief boundeth where it falls, not with hollowness.. but with weight" Surely this had occurred to me, when i am in despair,dejected, there will be a lot of sorrowful events queuing up,for me.. and when in joy.. i feel the world is bubbling with joy.. Just Pump up yourself....Sweetdesign.. Come on.. Come on.. nothing to worry. Cheers all the way.. Take care.

depression is a funny thing it smacks you down when you at your worst and drained. grrrr. I hate having depression.. But hang in there I know things look unfavorable but surely they will look up. With every down fall there comes a time when things must inevitably rise back up. It's just right now things seem to be compiling. Take care get some rest.. relax try and find your happy place and think pleasant thoughts. Take care and I hope things get better. And the only way anyone make you feel inferior (meaning in your crafts) is if you let them. Brush off what they say and continue to go on with it. Every writer and artist has times when their stuff doesn't sale and they are told it is junk or not worth the paper it is written on. It just takes time and perseverance to overcome such obstacles.

Please don't be depressed about your bears not selling ... it's just a matter of the right person not seeing them at the right time. A lady I know used to make little dolls with costumes, and she wanted to sell them - so she went to a local gift store and the owner agreed to put them in the shop and take a small commission when they sold. It worked really well, and as the gift store was in a little tourist town, people from other towns ended up bringing orders from their friends and family. The little dolls were all individual with their names embroidered on their aprons, and were really sweet.

I know tiredness can cause depression. What you need is some you time. Have a good soak in the bath with some nice smelly stuff in it. Put on your most comfy night cloths and have an early night. Forget about ebay for now. You can try them again when you feel better. Have you thought about setting up your own website. It does not have to cost a lot. A friend of mine sells crafts on her own website. It is quite a simple one and only cost her a few pounds. She is doing really well with it. You can find sites that will give you free elp to set up. Hope everything goes alright with you and that you feel better about things after a good nights sleep.

You just need to find a way to pick yourself up. Make your teddy bear look more presentable. Do whatever you have to do to get your bear to sell, if your bear is not selling at all, go to a Plan B. Sell other things that you do not want, but that you know will sell, on eBay. Do not give up. There will be someone out there who will, eventually, see you teddy bear and who will want to buy it. You just have to try a lot of different methods. My boyfriend and I sell things online as well, and we do what we can to make our items look appealling. We sell comic books and comic book items, and we sell things from conventions such as Wizard World and San Diego Comic Con. Things will get better as long as you keep working for what you want.

Let me tell you the way to relax yourself. when my mood is not good, i usually find some favorite things to do, like listening music, playing basketball and so on. everyone has the just way to release himself, i think you can do too.
