God bless you, feel better soon.

Great to see you accomplish, and surpass, your 500 goal. It's so fun finding signed books out in the wild, and at least the inscription on that history book is a common enough name (john) that someone with that name might buy it.

Have never been to one of these places. Not sure it’s healthy.

Great stuff, thank you 🐝🤟🏼

Great week of sales 😊💐

❤️

Great sales Bob! Always glad to see you dealing out the Jurassic Park!

Great sales. #Snorlax ❤❤

Where are you? Which store?

Sending love Very relatable, I've been there ❤

I am so sorry you are suffering. You and The Grateful Queen are my favorite TH-camrs for reselling. If you ever come back to Los Angeles, I will take you to a chill book sale place. Sending you internet hugs.

Hey Bob! I started following you when I found a fellow Virginian who thrifts (I’m in Richmond and I do very very part time eBay), but I stayed because you are a wonderful human and you understand chronic fatigue/pain. I have endometriosis and fibromyalgia and I relate a lot to your body dictating your schedule. Please know we are all here cheering for you, and are so blessed by your honesty and your bravery. You are amazing and we are on your side.

I was watching you on my TV but had to open my tablet to type to you...I'm a depressive, have been all my life, I'm also full and perminantly disabled and I suppose if I got checked out I'd be on the autism scale....I have a high iq which is nkt as much of a gift as people think fjs I can talk down any help in my own head..I understand your repression.,I know when I'm in a big one but can't only try 13:08 to steer the ship, not calm the sea...I'm just coming out of abiggy, yes the sleep constantly, no friends, can't make a simply phone call..listing one item was like sticking an ice pick in my leg....most depressions ionky knkwwhen I'm out of them, looking back at how bad it was...they'd ones I knkw I'm I them, my therapist can't help...I found the only way that helps me is to drink water, keep away from any manufactured food and cleanse myself with nutrients and none processed crap...yes it might feel like yet another mask but it's myself care mask and if it coincides with some sunshine, even sunbed I can start in someway to lighten it long enough for my cycle to help out..onesuggestion you might want to try is to have a work buddy...as in a fellow worker bee who you can live chat for a half hour or hour on zoom or face chat while you both work on your flipping, be it photography, listing, packing etc..a one on one like minded person who isn't trying to tell you what to do but put some social cracks in that hardened bubble you're in but not in person next to you, not demanding but like another student at the next desk as you work

I’m so glad you made this video. Hang in there, Bob.

It’s so interesting because Vegas can be so different to each person. I thought I would hate Vegas because too much going on but I ended up loving it because I felt like I could just disappear and people watch and be a nobody 🥰 I’m sorry you are feeling so bad and I hope with time and rest you feel more peace and joy ❤️

Girl, I feel you! I spiraled into clinically depression over a decade when I broke up with my other half. I spent months just crying, unable to sleep but also unable to leave my bed. I pulled myself out enough to function, just barely. Then 5 years I lost my job, had a serious health issue and my Grandma passed away all within a matter of 2 weeks & i just shut down completely. The depression navigated into the debilitating type where I'm unable to do pretty much anything. Everytime I think I've hit rock bottom I discover that sh¡t has sub-levels... Bob, we love ya! Do what you need to do to make your life bearable, don't worry about us! And know you aren't alone 💜

Good to see you. Sorry that it has been hard. Keep going.

I was at a conference for work in SF several years ago and could feel the overwhelm coming on. It was a big hotel and i was able to find an enormous potted plant or small tree and i hid behind it and called a friend. I stayed there until the conference was over. Hours. We do what we can. I have about 5 or 6 seasonal affective disorder lights and thats what i use sometimes to help jumpstart my brain. Besides cutting out stimulation It works for me. I get a pillow and blanket and find a spot on the floor and turn on my lights. My cats crawl over my head and stomach because its different so fun for them. I stay on the floor because the bed is too comfortable. Im sure youve read william Styrons Darkness Visible. If not maybe its work checking out. Its pretty raw but he was a literary genius and his description of depression is the best in my opinion. It helps people that youre sharing. I know if i went to a conference in vegas there arent any potted plants big enough for me. And i love talking to people too. But too much energy coming at me means ill crash later. Youre a gentle soul. I hope this moves on quickly. 🐈

So much love to you 💚

❤

Totally understand! We've all struggled. If you try to make videos, shorten them so you don't stress yourself out.

Thanks for checking in and letting us know how you are doing. Triggers are hard. Depression is ruthless. I understand. Please know that you are incredibly enough just the way you are. You are 1000% enough. I'm sending love and hope as you heal.

Vegas is too much for anyone. I've done a few conventions in Vegas and they are exhausting and overwhelming! Take care of yourself and I hope that you're feeling better soon!

I am so sorry; I feel for you deeply about this. I have also lived with debilitating depression and anxiety for my entire life. It's so rough. I also get very overwhelmed with noises and lights and I don't think I could handle Vegas at all. And as an introvert, I absolutely must have quiet time all by myself. Take some time to do what you need to do to feel better; don't worry about what other people will think. Give yourself grace. Also, run if you want to run and if it makes you feel good. You are beautiful just the way you are; please let go of the idea that you need to change the way you look. Our society is absolutely toxic in the way that it makes people feel about themselves.

Oh my gosh I feel this so much. My jobs always destroy my mental health. I’m hoping to go to reselling full-time to break free of it. Thank you so much for sharing your struggles. I appreciate you so much!

You don't owe anyone on the internet anything, just do what feels right for you. I appreciate you, and hope you can allow yourself the space and time to heal.

Thank you for being so forthright - being open about mental illness is always an act of bravery. One thing you might want to contemplate is adding a "thank you but no" message to your future whatnots around messages of concern. I went through a fairly deep depression and messages of concern from friends and family were a trigger for me after the fact. That was just my reaction but if you think you might have a similar you might want to set that boundary with us, your fans. We're book people so (I'd hope) we're all fairly empathic and should abide by your wishes.

Bob you went to a conference in Vegas. The capital of sensory overload and you didn't bring support. 😭😭 Even that sounds scary. So happy to hear you had friends that reached out. I know it sounds corny but health is wealth. I'm glad to hear you took the time to take care of Bob. It's so important.

Hey Bob. I thought it was so brave of you to share your struggles with us, giving a voice to depression can be extremely difficult. You are a wonderful person and I love your content. I hope you are starting to feel better. I will continue to support your videos whenever they come out. Take care of yourself ❤ ❤ ❤

Totally understand! I am a part time reseller but own a horse farm where we utilize the horses for kids who have autism, ADHD and emotional trauma. People are always saying...."you need to get a bouncy house, food trucks and games for an event..." I try to explain that it's just too much for them to process and it's an overload of stress that may take weeks to recover! I have had many parents/ guardians say that when they turn into the farm their child automatically starts to relax because of the peaceful environment. Thank you for sharing your experience! Praying for more rest and recovery! ~jc

I have ADHD and I can’t handle events, need sleep, people usually think I’m snobby, but I’m usually overwhelmed if I go to events with lots of noise, people, things, lights, etc. take care, hang in there.

Donate your death pile my friend, get back to thrifting. What you put out, comes back 10x

Don't be sorry Bob. As a 47 year old woman who has struggled my whole life with depression, one thing I have learned is that you have to take care of yourself first. Sending hugs to you and Miss Moxie💖

You are wonderful and it is always a blessing to see your face. Hang in there!

Only love and care to you! ❤

Im the mom of a young woman who is high-functioning with ADHD. it's so hard, baby. You take care of you; we'll be here when it's ok with you. I totally enjoy your presentations and have come to like and respect you. Peace to you

My son would suffer from cognitive dissonance while still in school 💐I am glad you are on the other side now and are coming out of your depression. Sending you lots of positive energy 💐

You look fantastic in those photos I know we judge ourselves more critically. I had a feeling you must have gotten way over stimulated. My son has autism and ADHD. Im so sorry to hear you have been so depressed. I hope you are feeling much better. We want you to take care of yourself and feel better 💐Sending you virtual hugs and positive vibes 💐🙏

Always here for you. I'm glad you're feeling better and I'm in a similar situation. Love you friend.

I've been through some darkness over the last several years. All I can say is, pull back the reigns and slow down your expectations: NOT saying you need to quit, just you may need to shift. If you push yourself it won't help. Besides all you're going through there is a YT thing called burn-out. Find your new pace. As you get older you'll find there's ways to adjust, not that you're old, just that the body changes and yet our mind keeps thinking we're still someone from our past. Embrace yourself in the refining of life. Peace....and breathe deep. 😌

Hang in there! You are awesome. Take care of you! 😊

I really appreciate you for this conversation. Sometimes I don’t notice when I fall into these depressions because like you, I am high functioning. And I didn’t realize that I was in a depressive bout until recently when I realized that I wasn’t actually sleeping and I couldn’t get into any books and books are my escape. So I really appreciate you opening up and being honest about this because sometimes it feels like you’re alone even though you know you’re not alone.

I also have anxiety and depression and it’s rough!! I was in the shower lasting just bawling my eyes out! So I totally understand! I know this won’t help but the pictures you showed your look absolutely adorable and that outfit was sooo cute!!! And I’m not just saying that! If you ever need a shoulder I’m a great listener please reach out and I will instagram you my number! And I truly mean that!

I’m so sorry you going through that. I’ve been there too on and off my whole life. Your videos have helped me so much….I wish I could help you. Sending hugs and positive vibes💞 hoping you continue to feel better each day.

Love you, friend. Sending you a big hug. Wish I could be there to give it to you in person.

We're here for you as much as digital strangers can be. Conferences are hard when theres a lot going on, I can only imagine Vegas on top of that. It is perfectly reasonable to day it was too much. Depression when you're still getting by and doing the things that need to get done is often hard to miss in yourself and sometimes takes someone trusted to call you out. Thank you for sharing and I send virtual hugs and fist bumps of "you've got this". Of course we say don't worry so much about putting out videos! We want you to take care of yourself and keep coming back (as you can) to hang out with us.

Sending happy thoughts and peaceful vibes your way. ❤

Bob, I feel your pain. Take care of yourself and do what is best for you. Sit down and write a daily schedule and you will feel better. Go outside more as you are. Thank you for sharing. You will get better soon

I had a layover in Vegas airport recently and as soon as I walked into the airport from the plane I instantly felt awful, I wanted out of there asap! It just has this weird, negative energy.... glad you are back ~ one day at a time
