I have clinical depression and it comes out swinging once I get home. The only thing I can do is take all of the energy and hype I got from PAX and turn it into things. Draw, clean, make a website, make silly youtube videos. Because if I just sit and think its just crushing.

Another thing that helps is planning ahead. For East, we already know the dates, so I pricelined and kayak'd around and found several hotels at or just higher than what on peak rates were, so planned that way. This year I plan on doing Thursday through Sunday instead of Friday through Sunday, so I'm working with my group to better allocate budget as well.
But like I said in my post at the beginning of the thread, the moment you realize that another PAX is going on and you're not there... It gnaws at your soul. Labor Day weekend was the worst when I was thinking about how much of a blast I would be having at Prime if I was there, or even Dragoncon.
But patience pays off, and East will be delightful.

I know exactly what that feels like. I don't have any real creative outlets like that, I just have to reframe the thoughts. Instead of focusing on how I'm not at PAX doing all these awesome things, I have to tell myself how much I enjoyed these things and let those positive images and feelings fuel me.

yeah. I also decided to go see a doctor and get back on anti depressants. Being at PAX made me realize how tired I was of being sad all the time.
I'm just recharged now. When I finish an event like that I just have my batteries recharged. I love not getting the stink eye when I pull out Marvel Puzzle Quest in line, or having some random person who will talk about games when waiting. I love the atmosphere and the feeling of coming home is so strong. Just knowing that that's out there has me happy and so pumped.

Being productive is good!
