I have very bad anxiety.. so f you meet me at a con don't be surprised if my vision is shifty, if I seem to not be paying attention and I can't seem to hold your attention.. or seem like I am bored.

Honestly I am not, but I have an 8 yr old with me generally and his service dog.. meaning I am responsible for two other lives the whole time the con is going on.

I take medication but half the time it doesn't actually help me as much as it should. I tend to get very overwhelmed at conventions, especially where there are so many people about.

As well.. lately I have noticed my work is suffering as I'm getting to a point where I need to admit that I have been fighting and lying about depression for quite a while. . I'm not okay, it's not okay.. but I need to do something about this..

My life can be very stressful.. you might not believe that.. sure, yeah.. she makes fursuits, how stressful can that be.. try it... it's not as fun as it can be especially when your life is busy, your child has a lot of needs and you feel like you can't meet all them..and you are stretched thin.

I do love my job.. I love going to cons... I love my kid and even his service dog.. but at times I do need my space..

If you see me going back to my room, juggling my son and his service dog at a con unless you really know me well please don't try and stop me for small talk. If my child and I are out eating or not at our table and I'm concentrating on him please don't invade my space.

Talking to me at my dealer's table is fine and if I don't seem busy.. even asking me if I'm okay to make plans or meet up is okay.. but if I am already busy and working with my son and his dog please let us be..

AND on the topic of his service dog.. YES I KNOW CORGIS AARE CUTE.. but please please please do NOT squeal at her, scream PUPPY! or grab at her, jump in front of her or get between her and my son. Her training is centered around my autistic child having meltdowns and high pitched sounds of distress is one of her triggers to jump to duty and pay him the attention he needs to stop an issue from escalating out of control.. when you distract her by making the sounds she associates with distress you cause her to take her focus away from my son which could cause her to miss her cue and my son to injure himself.

Please respect us all..
