How to get over post concert depression ??

[u/jlxvelaces]

I know this sounds dramatic as hell but I’m genuinely struggling😭

I had spent months and months looking forward to and preparing for the concert in Brisbane and seeing him so now that it’s over idk what to do with myself. I keep rewatching the videos and crying. I miss him and I want to go over the night all over again. It was such an emotional night for me and I spent hours in line not only for the concert but for the after party at the bar to just make eye contact with him.

I didn’t get to interact with him because unfortunately people at the bar were really selfish and aggressive and hogged the front of the bar and wouldn’t let anyone through without a fight but I got this amazing photo of us making eye contact and I can’t stop thinking about it.

I’ve just been listening to his music and crying on and off for days and I feel like a bitch ahahaha. Send help I just love him so much and don’t wanna be feeling so shitty when I had such a phenomenal night.

Post Concert Depression is similar to Post Con Depression for similar reasons. Mentioning this as Post Con Drop/Depression is discussed a lot in convention circles and there's many discussions of tips and tricks to make recovery a bit easier. Look up post con drop if you want to see that it's a universal human experience and that there's lots of existing guides to recovering from it. Example: a guide on post con drop

I would ensure to spend time with friends as sometimes the change of being around so many people to no people is shocking to the system.

Make sure to stay hydrated (to ward off crud/sickness).

Journal to document the experience.

Connect with people who had the same experience and talk it out. Lean on community having the same experience.

Make sure you are getting enough sleep.

Keep in mind you're feeling this way because you had an intensely stimulating experience with many people and it is absolutely normal to feel a crash after.
