post-barnum depression

n. Moderate to severe depression in a performer or staff person after giving birth to a fantastic blow-your-mind show, when the cast and crew diaspora leaves your hitherto fervent banner flaccid in the listless echoing breeze. Onset is typically a few days after the blowout closing party.

Symptoms include sadness, fatigue, insomnia, appetite changes, having the libido of an awkward teenaged virgin, crying episodes, hysterical laughter, irritability, staring at Google Maps, the tuneless humming of barn-revival spirituals, chromatic-motion melodies in 6/8 time, or minor-key adaptations of Survivor's 'Eye Of The Tiger', and Facebook status updates.

Food-related cravings are not uncommon, especially for hot dogs, or paper and plastic bags of salty-yet-sweet snack foods (e.g., kettle corn). A dull disappointment is inevitable when the lid is removed from a can of peanut brittle and the sufferer is not EVER greeted by spring-loaded snakes. Honestly, what's the use.

Commonly abbreviated as PBD.

Closely related to "post-camp depression" (PCD), "post-con syndrome" (PCS), "whoa, too fun" (WTF).
"Joseph has to come up with a usage example for urbandictionary.com today, but his post-barnum depression is pretty severe. He just keeps hanging upside-down from his workstation desk and calling his mouse Templeton."

Post Potter Depression

The depression one feels upon finishing a Harry Potter novel, or the Harry Potter series. Is brought about by the realization that one must return to the real world, and that reclusive reading does not make one a wizard.
Usually felt internationally in the two weeks succeeding the book's release.

Post Potter Depression (PPD) is an emotional state, and is generally inversely related to the Economic Post Potter Elation (EPPE) initially felt by Bloomsbury, Scholastic, and Raincoast Books, and felt soon thereafter by the world's retail booksellers.

Post Potter Depression may remain incurable for some, but many recover within a week of showing initial symptoms.
Most people, mainly parents, feel it is not a serious condition and will cure itself.

post-con depression

A terrible medical condition for those attending an anime convention.
It is usually caused by attendees when they've had more fun during the weekend than they usually have. This can also be caused by making friends that you can only see at cons, thus causing withdrawal and depression.
Symptoms of post-con depression may include: Lazyness, procrastination, withdrawal, whining, lack of interest, daydreaming, and soreness.
The only known remedy for post-con depression is to hang out with the friends met at the convention, or waiting for the next convention to come around. Sometimes working on cosplay or heavy planning will weaken the symptoms.
