Hey there, gorgeous! Would you elaborate on what ‘post con sadness’ is and how it manifests? I’ve heard mention of it before, but trust you to explain it best. It’s making me hesitant to attend a con b/c I have clinical depress that gets really bad at times, and GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) that can be hard to control. Many thanks!

Oh wow. Okay, so you go to a con and there’s all this adrenaline rushing through you all the time. You see these people you love on stage and hear them talking and singing and having fun and every second of it is wonderful. If you have photo ops or autos, you actually get to meet them and talk to them and that’s pretty damn amazing. On top of that, there’s a decent chance that you could accidentally run into Jared and/or Jensen or any of the actors while you’re just walking around the city where the con is being held. So there’s this buzz of energy and excitement going on all the time. Then it’s over and you have to go back to real life and responsibilities and it’s just sad. Like, I was super happy to get back to my family but still. On top of that, leaving this particular con was especially hard because so many of my friends were there. I have no idea when we’ll be all together like that again. I would definitely encourage you to go to a con but maybe just really mentally prepare yourself for when it’s all over. I hope this helps in some way. ❤
