Is it normal to be depressed after finishing something?
Whenever I finish anything... Whether it be a book I've been reading, a video game, a movie, or an art project, I get really depressed!
Like when I beat a video game, I would think to myself "alright! ... Now what?"
And then I would get depressed and lonely and bored. After I finish something, I kinda just lay there at the end and don't do anything for the rest of the day.
This has happened since I could remember. I can remember the first time it happened! I beat the Elite 4 in Pokemon Blue. And as I watched the credits, I just kinda sat there and got sad, thinking to myself "ok it over... This has been such a big part of my life for the past few months and now it's over. It's all over and I can't go back to it again and experience the same wonder and thill as I did before!"
It also happened today. I just got finished listening to my first audiobook, and when the narrotator said "the end" I began to think of how pleasant it was listening to the book driving to and from work. It was a way to relax... And now it's over. I won't be doing that anymore because I've finished it completely.
This has happened so many times in between. I can only recall one time when I didn't feel that way when completing something...
Everyone else around me is all like "oh yeah! I beat that game! Now I'm going to go play this one!" Or "wow! That was a great book!" And just puts it down.
I, however, get moody after completing a book or video game ect.
Is it normal?
