I Was Featured on the Front Page of Etsy!

I was browsing through the threads on DIYscene tonight and saw my name in one of the titles, "kiddo47 on Front Page!" *What the hell did I do now?* I came to find out that one of the items from my Etsy shop had been featured on the front page of Etsy! This a very big honor in the realm of crafting! The item featured was my Bunny Rabbit Ring, which sold the same day! Here's a screen shot of my accomplishment that Lollywood captured! Thanks, Lollywood, because if you hadn't caught it I probably would have never known!

From Darkness to Light

The past couple of days have been absolute emotional hell! I was finally able to take a nap after not being able to sleep for 2.5 days, and when I awoke I felt normal! I immediately started crafting again, which is very therapeutic for me! Before, I was in such a dark place that I could do nothing else but lay in the bed staring blankly at my laptop typing the ever occasional depressing post. Now it's maintenance time (ICK!), but it's necessary to maintain normalcy. I really appreciate all the people who supported me and showed that they care about me during my darkest hours. I may have not received it well at the time, but it was because I was emotionally unable to, not because I wasn't grateful. Time to move along!

Feeling Extremely Lame

It's only a little after 9 AM and the day is already promising to be bad for me. I haven't slept in two days. Someone I care about said some really hurtful things to me last night that I still cannot let go of. Then to beat it all I make a huge faux pas on a web forum by commenting on old posts in turn "raising them from the dead" (I swear I didn't know that this was poor etiquette) and the postmaster posted a thread specifically pertaining to this. I feel so embarrassed. I have apologized twice because I feel so bad for being unwittingly inconsiderate. I am fearful to leave my bed because what shall happen next? What else am I going to flub up? Who else will I disappoint? Is someone else going to damage my self-esteem and my spirit today by saying things that will hurt me? I am in a super dark place at the moment and I really don't know what to do. All these things that should be trivial are piling up and beginning to crash down on top of me. I am truly at a loss as to how to make things better right now! I am feeling extremely lame.
