hello everyone.

I am a very social being. I can spend a lot of time by myself and I'm fine but whenever something social comes up I enjoy it very much.
Last weekend we had a get together of our whole family. I see people there i only see once a year. I had a great time. But everytime since my youth I feel SOOO bad after very good times like that. Like today. I lived in a kinda of mist. I just did everything I had to do but I was thinking about the weekend and about all the people there. Whenever I do something on a day I'll be like. Oh I wonder what he/she is doing right now. The depressed feeling leaves after a day or 2-3. Though in the beginning I dont even want it to go away cause it is my only thing I still have from the good time i experienced. I was just wondering if I am the only one or if there are any more people like me feeling it like that.

Yea, I think there's always a letdown after special events. I get like that after vacations, and good times but I try to keep my perspective and know that there will be more vacations and good times ahead in the future.

Sounds like an up and down pattern in your moods. I would get it checked out.

you think its that serious? i thought more ppl would have the same like me.

I'm like that all the time as well.

Bah! It seems perfectly normal! Mondays have been "down days" for decades. Weekends are for fun. If you have a lot of fun, then saying goodbye to a good time and hello to routine is a bit of a downer. Kind of like a small version of the days after Christmas.

Now if the good times included a lot of drinking, then the down period is magnified. If you can't handle it, drink less on the weekend.

To turn it into a pathology without more information is silly.

It sounds normal to me too. People have ups and downs all the time, often over the course of a single day.

I live alone and I'm fine with it, but sometimes I'll really notice that I'm alone right after I've spent a weekend with friends or have had company for a few days. When I come home, or when the company leaves, I'll have a "so, now what?" feeling, and I'm aware of the fact that it's just me and the hum of the refrigerator in the house. It makes me feel a bit blue, but in a day or so I'm fine.

I feel very similar after family get-togethers. I think it's totally normal. The comfort we experience from having loving people all around us leaves us feeling kind of empty once we go back to our daily routine. I don't worry about it. In fact, it just makes me appreciate those times even more.

Its getting better now... but still not totally gone. Usually takes a while for me..
