New York blues 

The overwhelming feeling of despair felt by someone who has escaped from New York upon returning. Usually felt within the first hours of arrival or with the sight of specific landmarks.

Felt most commonly by those from downstate NY with family or business ties that keep them coming back.
Coworker: I hear you moved to West Virginia, nothing but hicks out there right?

Me: No, it's actually quite advanced outside of the worst of the hollers.

Coworker: But do you ever miss home?
Me: Already do since I drove out 19 hours ago.
Coworker: Wow, you've got the New York Blues!
