Back Home Early From ConFuzzled by AoiTheDragon

Hey, everyone! I'm back home from ConFuzzled, sadly. I would've loved to stay much longer but unfortunately, my autism really isn't my friend when I'm very far away from home, the convention, the feelings of missing my mother, my cats, and the overall extreme feeling of homesickness. I've finally made peace with the fact that some things are just too much for me to handle and that I can only take big trips like this for one or two days max. Any more than that can really cause my body to shut down both physically and mentally, and I truly experienced this during night time after my first day at the con.

I had constant panic attacks and meltdowns whenever I got back to my hotel because I simply was away from the con, meaning there was no distraction and anything enjoyable around me, and then the feelings of homesickness and being overwhelmed by that as well can really destroy me within seconds. That said, it isn't all sad because I genuinely did have an amazing time at CFz on the 25th of May and I truly got to know my limits and that's okay too! I'd also like to thank my close fur friends for their kind words of support, and that really took away my feelings of guilt for not being able to meet up with them and hang out! Not everyone can handle being away too far away from home for too long or handle such big events for too long and that's okay too! With all that said, I still have plenty of fun photos that I'll be sharing with you all soon! The fun isn't quite over yet, heh heh! <3

    sorry to hear about your homesickness <:o I think I might be the opposite way around actually :o I love my home sweet home but I wanna go out there more y'know? and when I leave a vacation, I take one last look at it and think..: it's been so fun here, I've had so many good memories here made in such a short time, I almost don't wanna leave, but it was fun while it lasted.. <:3
    It's okay if you're the complete polar opposite tho, that's why we're called a spectrum! :D
