Post Lethargic Stress Disorder (PLSD) 

Similar to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), PLSD is a disorder that occurs when a human experiences a long period of lethargy (the person has done “nothing”) to then return to a stressful environment such as school or work. Usually accompanied by mild to dysfunctional depression and suicidal thoughts. Other known related symptoms are insomnia, tiredness, and emoness.
"After spring break, 203 people were diagnosed with Post Lethargic Stress Disorder (PLSD). Of these victims, 23 committed suicide the following Monday. The other 180 reported bouts of tiredness and a few reported cases of emoness.

'Yes, it is a growing concern, especially affecting people as young as 13 years old!' says Dr. Gibbons of the PLSD Research Facility of Orange County"
