Post-Series Depression

Also known as PSD.

It is the sadness felt after reading or watching a really long series or story. The bitter feeling when you know the journey is over, but you don't want it to end.

It is the longing for the words on the pages to move for you like they did the first time you read them. When you didn't know what the next paragraph held and the world in which the characters found themselves was entirely without limit. Because any time you re-read the story, you know that they aren't free to roam anywhere like they were before. They are stuck in a cart on a track and all you can hope for is to notice something about the scene you didn't before, and to just try to relive those feelings you had the first time around.

But it will never be quite the same.

This can apply to any series; be it a book series, TV series, an anime, comic, or even movie. The effects can also be felt after completing a stand alone piece that is not necessarily part of a series, although this isn't as common as PSD derives from the attachment one has to the story's characters.

Effects include, but are not limited to:
• A state depression or sadness
• The inability to start another story
• The need to rewatch/reread
• Excessively projecting felt love towards the internet
• Creating fan fiction

> Man, I'm so sad.
- What's up?
> I just finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. I feel like I lost a group of imaginary friends. :(
- Yeah, sounds like you've got post-series depression. I felt the same after Harry Potter. It'll pass in a few days. . .

Post Hardon Depression

Not to be confused with "Post Pardum Depression" which is a serious medical condition requiring treatment, "Post Hardon Depression" generally passes on it's own. It occurs for a man, following sex when he is left with that feeling of ennui, so well expressed in the Peggy Lee song, "Is That All There Is?"

Seeing Farquar's long face, George asks, 'What happen...you look like your dog just died?' Farquar replies, 'No, nothing like that, I just had great sex with my girlfriend, but now have Post Hardon Depression.' George, replies, 'Oh man, I feel your pain.'

Post-Endgame Depression Syndrome 

That despondent, can't get out of bed, don't want to watch another Marvel movie again, feeling you get after seeing Avengers: Endgame and knowing that the original Marvel Cinematic Universe Saga has come to an end.

I could barely wake up for work Friday morning after seeing the new Avengers movie. The Post-Endgame Depression Syndrome is really hitting me hard.

Post Anime Depression Syndrome 

A feeling of depression experienced after finishing a series of anime. PADS for short.

Symptoms include constant thought of the anime, very deep insight, ignoring the people around you, and feeling drowsy.

Some causes:
Being too attached to the characters
Being able to relate to the anime (For example, high school focused anime)

When a person suffers from PADS, they usually long for the life they had to be like the anime, even though they know it will never become reality.

Person 1: Did you watch Angel Beats? Holy crap it was so sad...

Person 2: No, now what did you get on the test?

Person 1: *day dreams*

Person 2: You're suffering from Post Anime Depression Syndrome aren't you?

Depression 

Depression is often taken lightly, which often just makes someone who is suffering from it feel worse

The true weight of depression

Depression removes all of your interest in what you used to love, you gain no enjoyment from anything, this makes you feel sad, as you remember the time when you could enjoy stuff

Music just makes you reflect on life, making you feel worse

You feel that any food is wasted on you, or you eat too much, because you don't care about appearance

You can laugh but, something is missing, laughing doesn't make you feel good

You tend to sleep inconsistently, in fact I'm writing this now-- at 4:00am, I'll probably wake up at 3:00pm, another day wasted

You don't feel like talking

You have no energy to do anything

You are often alone, wondering the meaning of life

You feel insignificant

The worst part of depression in my opinion is not knowing what caused it and not knowing if you will get better

If someone tells you that they have depression, you must take it seriously, they really need your help

People do care about you, no matter what you think

There is hope, for an entire week, I enjoyed everything I used to, I couldn't stop smiling, it was the best feeling in the world, and after feeling that, I know it is possible to kick depression and live life

And If you have depression, I hope that you will try to get better, its not a case of not getting better, you just have to try

Person 1: Hi, How are you?
Person 2: I'm... okay, you?
Person 1: I'm good, but I can't tell that you're not, is something up?
Person 2: Well recently... I've been suffering from depression...
Person 1: ah, ok it sounded like something awful happened, don't worry it will pass
Person 1: We all have bad days
Person 2: *leaves chat, feeling like no one cares, and that no one understands them*

Depression is not something people can just snap out of, it holds on to someone tightly and is difficult to break free from
When talking to someone with major depression, you should treat it as if they were terminally ill, its often not too different if they are without hope
