The Doldrums

I am stuck in the doldrums. Every year from around Mid-August to Mid-October I get into this complete funk...I am not creative, very little cheers me up, I am edgy, have bizarre dreams and all I want to do is stare into space.

I was a little excited because I thought I was going to be able to go to this http://www.rockandmineral.org/annualshow.htm but with the financial crap and stress with my mom I ended up broke. Joe told me if I sold something by tonight I could go...well I traded something but no sales.

So my happy little possible place to go, a gem show, to be surrounded by shiny beautiful thinks and people who share the same interests as me....my bubble has been burst and now I am even grumpier

So sorry you can't attend the show, that is a real bummer. But hang in there. Your jewelry is very pretty and I bet you will do well in the holiday season.

Oh man! This is a tough time of year. It's a big transition time in terms of nature and all...maybe you're really in tune. I hope something magical happens today!

awww...sorry to hear that sales are slow...that never feels good. is the show annual? maybe you could plan on next year?

the funk you describe, maybe it's S.A.D.? Especially if it begins in the Fall. It is easily treatable. Check out this link...some light therapy might hep you! Feel better!

Ugh...it's nice to know I'm not the only one who was in a super funk!

It's nice to climb out of though, once fall kicks in. :)
