Post-Con Rapt-Up
14 years ago
I had an absolutely amazing time at FC this year. The best time I've ever had at a con, and one of the best times I've had, period. I'm tickled pink that I was able to introduce 
slither to the wonderful world of Interacting With Furries In Real Life - and I'm even more pleased that everyone we hung out with was super, super cool. Thanks, guys!
I'm going to break the icon limit if I mention every single person I had an awesome time with, so I won't do that. In fact, I won't name anyone at all, hahaha! If I had an awesome time with you, I will have already toldja. ;D
The best part about the con - other than watching Slither's reaction as he found out that people actually recognized his character - was that I was able to experience it in an entirely new fashion:
I was able to experience it sanely.
Melodrama aside, I've had ADHD and constant anxiety attacks my entire life. Back in May, I was officially diagnosed and put on treatment for my condition. A combination of medication and intense therapy has finally allowed me to have some amount of normality in how I perceive and interact with the world. Gone are the OCD behaviors, the anger, the frustration, the inability to focus, the constant acting out for attention, the extreme jealousy, the fear; instead, I can now experience life as I should have been able to all along.
So, thank you. Thank you to slither for having the courage to plunge into the unknown and face some of his greatest fears, thank you to my psychiatrist and therapist for helping me find the tools that I needed to live, and, finally, thank you to all of the wonderful friends and individuals who made this con the wonderful experience it should be.
