*Comes back from con*
''Wow, I sure had lots of fun!''
*Problems begin piling up*
''Please, God, let there be another convention soon-''
Me before EF: "I'm gonna go a day earlier to the con, so that I have more of it."
Me after EF: "the con was too short! I don't want to go ;-;"
and after getting home, I notice I neither have PCD nor Con Crud and I'm fine,
but then 2 months after my last furcon, I kinda start to feel depressed, so yeah, it can also happen much later.
And to cope with PCD, usually talking to some furs or doing some furry related stuff helps me with PCD
There is already a dislike, so someone turned on notifications just to dislike the video.
How pathetic
What kind of idiot would dislike Stormi anyway?
I know... jeez
Why would anyone dislike the vid anyway, stormi is a nice bundle of folf!!
Hey, think about it more positively! That means someone has subscribed to Stormi, and gave his video a rating, which still helps the video, so!! It's not that bad!! ^w^
I actually laughed when reading this, but geez! Who would do such a thing?
PCD sounds really terrible, I’ve never been to a con but I want to go to one. Hopefully I don’t get PCD to bad!
PCD hits everyone at one time or another and in one way or another, and con crud can be just as bad and worse, the last con I went I had the running squirts for three days
Ive had PCD recently, and I'll tell ya, its the WORST when you leave the con, and when you first get home but it goes away after about 3 or 4 days or so..at least in my experience :3
Just be glad you don't have normal depression. I wish my deporesion went away after a week.
You’re vid was posted literally 10 seconds after I got out of bed
AMAZING TIMING!
Quaility
Lucky!
FWA 2019 was my first con and it was truly amazing, and to spend it with you and Treble was a treat it still can’t believe. After the con I did feel a little down, but it was alright. Guess my main focus was on my back and going to the doctor the next day, but I never got con crud. I stuck to a habit of regular showers, and good meal at least once a day, clean hands and staying on my vitamin c. Can’t wait for the next con dude, big hugs 🤟🏼
PCD is a powerful feeling when all the fun is gone. I’m guilty being a crying messing when I’m on my flights home.
*pulling an all nighter*
*stormi posts*
AHHH MAH FAVOURITE FOLF I’m LATEEE
Coincidentally I pulled an all nighter finishing this video XD
XD
PCD, for me, is knowing the people I'm leaving are going home to a much more interesting and active life than mine.
I just went to my first con recently and i felt really sad on the drive home, even though I have another one in january I just was a super down potato ♡ love u stormi u giv the best advice
I love his outro! It was so cute! And that music is amazing!
"JURY DUTY!"- STORMI 2019!
[I love your videos! Keep posting!]
PCD is such a pain to deal with. I remember when I went to my first furcon last year and knowing that the con was over, it hit me hard. The best on how I cope with it is knowing that I can go again next year and have even more fun and meeting a whole bunch of furs! Thanks for the advice Stormi and as always, great video! Much love!
My brain doesn’t really make a lot of serotonin, that’s gonna be fun when I get back from my first con

You literally uploaded this just hours before FurReality 2019 closing ceremonies happened! I got pre-Post Con Depression aka "I don't want it to end" which hit me hard the morning before the last day and the night before heading back home for the night and morning.. FurReality 2019 was my first ever convention, I met so many amazing people, attended so much stuff, bought $110 worth of stuff such as a hecking big fluffy bouncy amazing red tail with a white tip, and in general has the best experience I have ever had anywhere I've been while alive and it changed my life! I think the reason PCD was hardly an issue for me is because pre-PCD happened, I am still posting pictures from the con and will continue to for a while, I started planning for next year the following morning, and I have talked to quite a lot of people about my FurReality experience heck, I'm working on a digital scrapbook of my entire experience was as much detail as possible! I wanna go back so bad though despite the fact the con was the slowest part of my entire year(not in a bad way, the con just warped my perspection of time if it's 4 days all of which I went to coz it's local).. Oh btw, the scrapbook should be done within the next two weeks!
One time at AC I got pre-post-con depression. On Friday I started feeling sad and depressed because I knew it would be over in 2 days, and that those days would go by really fast.
Something I like doing is watching other people's con videos and browsing through any con pictures so I can kind of keep experiencing it vicariously through other people
I would get this after my summer scout camp at camp Baker. The most beautiful camp I've ever seen. To get over my depression I took up art and preparing for other camping trips. Just hang in there and prepare to make your next trip gr8.
6:55 literally all of those reasons. I've went on a lot of trips (maybe 10 trips per year usually) and I'm use to PCD by now and it actually doesn't affect me usually. The only part of it is I really hate having to go back to work and having to deal with certain people lol
Nice vid as always Stormi. Just come back from infurnity 2019 few weeks ago. It's fun but PCD still linger. This suck when you have depression to begin with, bad combo :(. At least this help me a bit :)
I had PCD after going to Anthro East Coast for the first time. I started to experience it on the bus on the way home. I find that drawing and listening to music can help!
i am screaming inside
I literally came home from GoldenLeavesCon in Switzerland yesterday. PCD was already kicking in a bit, but then a friend of mine saved the evening by gifting me a comic he comissioned of our sonas. That cheered me up so much, you can't imagine xD
I have not gone to a con yet I'm glad I have this information and stormy u r one of the potatoes that got me in this fandom
I wish I knew about this before i went to my first convention. I would of mentally prepared myself.
I'm super excited for MFF, hope to see many of you there, Hopefully Stormi is going as well I wanna give him a big hug!
I haven't gone to a convention yet, but thanks for the heads up. PCD sounds horrible.
I clicked subscriptions and see a floofy folf. I CLICK IMEDIATELY
I went to my first con last year but I don't remember experiencing any PCD. Now the year before that.. I had con depression WHILE it was happening because I was too sick to go (long story short, threw up for two weeks straight, couldn't keep food down, got hospitalized, etc). But this year I had a different con depression... concert depression! It wasn't anything too serious but I had been anticipating seeing my celeb crush and then meeting him for the SECOND time... UGH! I didn't want to leave him! Fortunately I met up with a Twitter friend at the con (and we've been close ever since) so being able to talk with her helped ALOT. So! My advice for PCD is to try and make friends at or take friends to the con then talk about it afterwards.
i definitely didn't wanna leave ASE. i had so much fun!!
I always get hit with PCD on the last day of a con. I cope by hunting down all the friends (especially the ones I haven't seen yet) and giving them big hugs. And we loosely talk about our plans for next year's. (Bonus: I think this might also help some of them cope with PCD too.)
Ive had post holiday depression so i cant imagine what post con depression is like!
My first con is coming soon and PCD is one of my worries about the whole thing. This video came at a great time.
Looking forward to potato con 2020!
Heh, you couldn't have posted this at a better time. The pcd from my first con the other weekend is really hitting me right now
I went to a con, but knowing I’ll go back and may be seeing the same people, my friends I met there, I miss them, but I’m probably gonna see them if they go back, but also maybe make some new friends!
I always have PCD when I come back from FWA unless I plan for one in few months
I found that the best way I've been able to treat post con depression is immediately after the last day of any convention I go to I jump on Second Life it is quite literally the next best thing to a convention
I haven't atended to conventions yet (I think there are no furcons on my country, also I lack money), but yesterday I went to a meetup with other furs from my city, we were joking and watched a horror movie (I never did that before, still wasn't so scared), and when I came back home, I felt I lacked energy and even thought I would like to end the day, so I guess that's the closest thing to PCD I've felt until I can go to an actual furcon (I hope I can go soon, even if I'll suffer PCD)
I didnt get PDC after i went to a con. How is that possible?
Although I have yet to go to a convention of any kind, I've known about Post Con Depression for more than a year now. That's probably going to hit me hard one day.
The red aura persists!
It's going away next year so help me god. Getting some lighting upgrades I hope
@@StormiFolf I'm sorry it really doesn't bother me, I just see it and was trying to make light of it.
It could just be that the spoopyness of Halloween hasn't left you?
All the best from South Africa 💜🤗
I have a come down depression after I take my hood off. It hits me hard if I've spent more than 3 hours constant in pup mode. If it's been 5 hours plus then I can have a breakdown but that's mostly cuase of dehydration, heat stroke and energy sucking.
YAY STORMI LOOKS AWESOME IN HD. (sorry my internet is horrible and i have never been able to watch in HD)
It's like when I had to leave summer camp
Bronycon 2019 and still sad abit but happy I got to go I had to save up for 2 years.
Oh no! I’m so sorry for your loss, my favorite potato 🥔
I love you Stromi Folf!
Watch this the day after a convention surely help
I can't really say I experienced PCD when I went to Anthrocon 2019 unfortunately. I was bummed that I missed the dance competition along with other panels because dance competition was when I was home and the like. But albeit all that, I had lots of fun and enjoyed Pittsburgh during my stay. I haven't gotten con crud whatsoever, can't say the same for my brother but it was more of stress from being so far from home and he was better the next day after getting 8 hours of sleep. But I look forward to going back next year and make even more memories and meet more new faces and keeping the fun memories close to heart
Just got back from MFF 2019 i havent even gotten completely home yet (im from puerto rico it takes a few stops )and im depressed already.
PCD we meet again.. I've attended Comic Con from 1998 till 2013 or 2014 and I had PCD every time it ended. It's the idea of being in a place where you're accepted fur who you are, then having to come back to reality where you have to watch out what you wear or you'll be ridiculed by coworkers, friends, or strangers. Also you are so right about the money part xD I spend like $300+ at the con to buy furry comics and novels each year. Luckily I live less than 5 miles from the convention center so I didn't have to spend money on flights or hotels x3
The sad part is when you know you have one or two days left of the con and you want to make it memorable. I remember the time when a furrend of mine and I went to a furry party after the exhibit hall closed. There was an hour wait so we walked around and we watched the sun set out in the ocean. That was one of the most memorable times I had at the con and sometimes I wished it never ended. I did somewhat the same thing last week during Arizona Fur Con. Last day of the con, we went out to Superstition Mountains and did some stargazing. Would have been great if the Phoenix lights didn't ruin the chance to see the milky way. It might not help PCD at all but it definitely makes attending cons more memorable.
A great way to help reduce PCD is talk to other furries about anything. Just having a conversation with other furs can help lighten the mood. Planning ahead fur the next con you want to attend might help too since you are thinking about the future and not the past. These two things helped me a bit to get away from PCD x3
I already have depression :(
i love that "post con depression"
*only*
I don't get post-con depression. I get post-con anxiety. Like I'm so desperate for human social interaction, no matter how overstimulating it is, that my body becomes restless for (in my case) next year.
I know personally what it’s like to have PCD. I experienced it a lot when I was forced to go home from a convention be it as most cosplay conventions I go to and furry cons. And you may be not a doctor Stormi but thanks for the scientific explanations for what goes on in my body when I’m having PCD. But besides spoiling myself with having breakfast and a barista made coffee, I combat PCD playing Elder Scrolls as my fursona. I’m an argonian as a sona BTW so it’s like public suiting to me but in cyberspace. And I sadly don’t have VR Chat.
As someone who works for disney and goes to both Universal and Disney at a regular basis... I felt that when you said post Theme Park Depression @_@
Is it werd that I really don't like being out of home because I'll git hit homesickness for some odd reason I never went to a conviction but family members then I just wanted to go home
Suffering from PCD?
Just watch the outro a few times!
The music combined with the big floppy ears will make you feel great 😅
I've had post con depression before it's kind of sad really
I deal w/ sadness by watching my favorite show, eat a bit, or sleep bc I’d be too mentally tired to deal w/ it :)
I hope i dont get PCD cuz on the 15th theres a chance of me going to a comic con ( Amazicon ) and on 2020 theres a chance i can go to a fur con ( Capital City Fur Con ), also those 2 would be my *first 2* cons ive ever gone to
Still my favorite youtuber ever
NO MY FLOOFY BOI DONT BE DEPRESSED I AM DEPRESSED BUT PLS DONT EVEN AFTER THE CON PLS PLS I NEED MY POTATO HAPPY OK PLS MY FLOOFY POTATO BOI PLS!!!!!!!!!!
wait but when I come back from school I feel depressed I do have lots of fun with my friends so does that mean I have post school Depression
i like how this is 2 years old but only 11 dislikes
What about pre con anxiety for first time furry dancers at a con such as anthro
Potato con?!?!?
I know this story all too well from many of my friends. Not me as of yet.
2:19 mUrDUr! ahyUgh! thE dEmOnds tOld mE tO!
🤣🤣🤣
Grey Muzzle here.....I know that feeling......The thing I do is lose my self writing about my time at the shows I went to.........I try not to get too high when I do Furry shows, comicbook convention, ect. ....But it is not an absolute.
Well I did have to face no con depression this year...
And now I’ll have to face lone birthday today.
Happy Birthday!!!!
Tristian Pitman thanks. Although it’s depressing when you mom makes a party worth of food and no one shows up .
@@sweets_Cat88 I mean. Still, it's your birtday so I wanted to make it a little happy for you. ;) And even if no one shows up....I don't really know. But I know I would be there for you. ; )))
Tristian Pitman aww thanks
I feel this on the last day being home before homeleave is over and I have to go back to boarding school
Me before the con:Im really excited to go there earlier
Me after the con: im so excited at the con and i dont wanna go back to the new world
You've got PCD? How to face it? The answer is only one. Just pretend that you don't go to that con & quickly do your normal daily activity while on the way home or right after arrive at home. I've done that (I don't know if maybe it's just because my job scheduled me to fly & continue or just coincidence) and it's work. My first furry convention was maybe only 50% PCD (and almost missed my runway) & the second was decreasing to 10%. So, next time if you get PCD, just pretend you're not attending the con & do your daily activities as soon as possible. Don't worry, you'll never lost your convention memories.
Lol i get this everytime its so fun with everyone and i get home and its quiet and borring
Your meme's are on point this video
How was it
Can I just go back to PotatoCon?
Nice video! Ive only been to multiple car cons, 1 cosplay, and 1 science cons. Ive only been to each for 1 day so ive never entirely experienced PCD.
I don't actually get post con depression. My poor friend though gets it real bad. :
Dr. Fulf sounds actually great
❤

Is potato con in Idaho? I'm an Idaho fur myself!
Literally just finished youmacon
I'm pretty sure Potato Con was a real thing back in 2012 and 2013. It was a nickname for FurIdaho as well.....potatoes....Idaho...
Though I wasnt even aware of the fandom back then though.
The fandom dates back as far as the mid 80s and before that even.
Cool video
My diet: Noodles, Pork/Steak/Chicken, my finger tips, Cosmic Brownies, Suoobway, Water/Fanta Orange
