Q: Depression after a television series or movie

Does anyone go through a phase of depression after a series or movie has ended? It sounds silly, but I seem to have really bad depression after a season finale airs or a when the credits role in on a movie. It's gotten to stage where I literally have to walk out of the theaters 5 minutes before the movies' going to end and I contemplate fairly dark themes when the depression hits.

Is there a way to deal with this odd affliction without taking away my viewing pleasure of many fantastic series, as this depression only gets worse? Or maybe give some theories about why this happens? Smile

It sounds like you enjoy the movie you are watching you really don't want it to come to an end. That has happened many times with me. I am an avid Dr. House fan. And it is depressing for me to know that I have to wait another week (now season) to start so I can what the next episode. No, that is very common IMHO.

I have that after a good book is over... it's almost as if you don't know what to look forward to anymore.

Do you feel symptoms of depression at other times? My guess would be that you have some sort of depression going on and you're using these movies/tv series to take your mind off of things.....
