Post-Potter Depression

When a fanboy or fangirl watches the last Harry Potter movie, they are overtaken with severe depression, usually characterized by five stages: denial, pain, anger, depression, and acceptance.

Some anti-depressants to Post-Potter Depression are watching A Very Potter Musical AVPM or A Very Potter Sequel AVPS, rereading the books or rewatching the movies, or curling up in the fetal position, drowning you sorrows with hard liquor, and praying for an acceptance-letter baring owl.

It is quite a tragedy to behold. During this period, and after, Twilight must be no where in the vicinity. The mockingness of the awful acting will send the sufferer into a deeper depression, restarting the cycle anew.
The five stages of Post-Potter Depression

Denial: "No! It's not over! And...and Dumbledore isn't dead! Yes! Neither is Dobby!"

Pain: "Why? Why? Oh cruel J.K Rowling, giving us this gift then yanking it away so quickly!"

Anger: "I'm going to murder Hollywood! Grah! And you too, kitty!" "Meow?" (an innocent cat may die. R.I.P kitty.)

Depression: "I'LL NEVER GET OVER THIS! I'LL BE UNHAPPY FOREVER!!!

Acceptance: "You know, this actually isn't so bad. In fact, I--is that Robert Pattinson?"

(then back to Denial)

Post-TDK Depression

After watching The Dark Knight, you settle into a depression because of the realization that no movie will ever be as good again.
Man, I was watching Tropic Thunder the other day and it was kinda funny, but The Dark Knight was a million times better. I'm just gonna go watch it on IMAX so I can beat this Post-TDK Depression.

post-LOSTdom depression

the incredible sinking feeling leading up to and devastating depression following the finale of the hit TV show LOST, leaving you fulfilled knowing it's over, yet so very empty, because, well, it's over.
Person 1: I'm kind of concerned about Adam today...do you know what's wrong?
Person 2: Do YOU know that LOST ended last night so that's why he's locked himself in his room, turned off the lights, and continues to say the numbers as he cries himself to sleep?
Person 3: Oh yeah, my doctor warned me about post-LOSTdom depression... I told him not to worry because I watch Grey's Anatomy and that makes me cry all the time. So then I said he should probably worry about that...

Person 1: You should probably not ask Janell to do much today. Or Kim. Or Shawna. Or Andy. Or. Terry. Or any LOST fan for that matter. They're suffering from post-LOSTdom depression.
Person 2: Maybe they could just start watching House...?
Person 1: Shut your face. You really don't get it. They practically lived on that island.

Urban Depression Syndrome

1. The feeling of great sadness a person experiences when they realize that adding new definitions to Urban Dictionary is completely pointless.

2. The feeling of great anxiety or anger a person experiences when they realize that nobody will ever read their new Urban Dictionary definitions because :
a) no one really cares
b) there are already too many definitions
"Matt was staring intently at the computer screen, when he suddenly screamed and drove his clenched fist through the glass, shattering it instantly. He then crushed the keyboard and sent the keys flying across the room, with a mad glare in his eyes. I tried to leave the room to escape the carnage, but then Matt fell down on his chair, sobbing.

"It's all fucking pointless! Fuck!"

He didn't even notice the blood from his shredded hand slowly dripping to the floor. I had known about Urban Depression Syndrome for a long time, but this is definitely not what I expected."
