I'm having one of the hardest times of my life. I'm going to try and remain as professional as I possibly can when writing this.

I have a number of mental illnesses which together render me almost incapable of doing everything by myself (Though I try by hardest not to depend on people). yesterday, it looks like the end of my 4 year relationship (Engaged for 3 years, lived together 2.5 and the past few weeks has consisted of looking to open a mortgage to start a family home) and I'm stuck and devastated and in pain. What do I do with my shop? Should I just close it? My shop and making these crafts gave meaning to my life but now I don't know where I will live tomorrow (No family or friends) and don't work a full time job due to current illness. If i've closed the shop I will have literally nothing left with my life. Yet if i keep it open I run the risk of being thrown on the street at any minute as he's the main tenant and I just give him my disability money to help

I'm sorry you're going through this. With respect to not being able to get to the post office, if you're in the US you can go to the post office's website and have them mail you some free priority mail shipping boxes. You can buy priority mail postage online, print the shipping label from home, and schedule a pickup at your house-- so no trips to the post office are necessary so long as your items will fit in one of their flat rate boxes or envelopes.

My thoughts go out to you during this tough time!

Re: Personal Break down - To close shop?

I was your age when my college sweetheart broke up with me. Finished my education, moved to another state and found some one who loved me and treated me so much better. Men mature slower than women and some are never ready to accept responsibility of marriage and a family. You have years ahead of you to find yourself and love. Please be good to yourself.

I myself moved to the US by myself and lived in a state where I didn't know a soul. But I had to gather up enough strength to try to make it. You'll meet people along the way to help you. I looked at your products in the sold selection and they are absolutely cute! So unique, you have talent and potential. Be strong and carry on.. Don't be afraid !!! :-)
