Post Play Depression, very similar to PPD, is a form of sadness that comes a play is over and the actors in it go back to their daily lives. It is mainly something experienced by the cast and crew of a show rather than the audience.

(noun) /pəʊst/D/M/dɪˈpɹɛʃən/ -
A medical term first coined in 1984 to describe the series of mental ailments suffered by a former Dungeon Master who has stepped down or been usurped by a newer, more liberal replacement.
The most common symptoms include nerdrage, an obsessive amount of referral to Dungeons and Dragons rulebooks, and the constant, repetitive, and overly false assurance by him that he/she is "definitely not fighting with anybody." The poor excuse "my campaign was a tutorial" is also commonly used by the former DM to try cover up how unoriginal, boring, and clichéd their adventure was.
Often, the sufferer of Post-DM Depression will temporarily have delusions of imaginary members of a "new, awesome group" that the new DM is "totally not invited to." These delusions normally fade quickly once the new DM states that he is happy to hear that the old DM was able to form such a great group so quickly, and hopes that they can still be friends.
Currently, the only known cure for Post-DM Depression is World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, or some other pointless online game where the former DM can become a guild leader and boss around torrents of pre-teens in a strict, structured environment that does not allow room for the creativity, imagination, and open-mindedness required to lead a party of campaigners in D&D.

I heard that he blocked you on MSN, Facebook, and completely avoids you in real life. What's that all about?
Don't worry about it; He's just suffering from Post-DM Depression, because the entire party agrees that I am doing a better job as Dungeon Master than he ever could.
...I only understood, like, three words of that geeky gibberish.
You must have failed your Will check. There's an amulet for that, you know.

Music inspired by the MOR soundtrack albums of the mid-1980s, as typified by artists such as Kenny Loggins, Jan Hammer, Billy Ocean, and Glenn Frey. Similar to Yacht Rock, but open to a wider range of musical influences. Post-yacht rock often incorporates elements of hard rock, smooth jazz, synth pop, calypso, soft rock, reggae, and arena rock. Post-yacht rock is typified by musicians who unironically embrace the sound of Kenny Loggins' "Highway to the Danger Zone." It is especially popular among college students who grew up listening to cover songs performed on reality competition TV shows.

The minutes and hours after ejaculation when a man's brain becomes very clear and he is able to reflect, plan, and make difficult decisions without his sexual urges clouding his thoughts and judgement. It is also known as post nut clarity .
Brendan: Yo bro, I think I might marry this girl! She's all I've been thinking about all week.
Joe: Whoa!! Slow down there buddy, how about you think about this after jerkin off? Trust me, the universe appears completely different when you have that post ejaculation clarity!

The sensation which happens after ejaculating and makes one feel very lucid and aware.
Symptoms of it are feeling regretful if you have masturbated to something very weird. This sensation makes a man lose interest in women for a short period of time and often makes one regret an upcoming date since they as said lost a sex drive for a short period of time.
It may be an evolutionary trait for males to leave a female after impregnation or mating.
Possible cause may be hormones and an immediate blood rush into the brain causing such lucidity, awareness, and regret.

I cannot think of an example of this word being used in a sentence, since normally i wouldn't talk about it. But post nut clarity is a very weird and unexplainable thing

The eudaimonia and mental clarity achieved after busting a fat nut, best achieved with having sex with a person you truly love
