Is post concert depression a real thing? Some say it is, some it isn’t. In my personal opinion, I think post concert depression is very much so a real thing. As you plan and buy tickets to go to a concert, you look forward to it but most likely don’t think about it everyday. As the concert begins to approach, some start to feel a sense of excitement and thrill. Others may not feel that sense but still have the awareness of the concert. The closer the concert comes directly correlates with the amount of adrenaline a person feels about it.
The day of the concert some may feel an extra sense of excitement because it has been something they have been looking forward to since they ordered the ticket. On the day of, the excitement also directly correlates with the time until the concert starts, as did the countdown of days to the concert. As you arrive to the place where it is being held, you begin to feel overwhelmed with excitement on the inside but don’t really let anyone see on the outside. Everything changes when you finally walk through the entrance and get your ticket scanned. You are immediately filled with a undesirable feeling.
As you wait for the performers to come on, people are filled with joy and suspense. The crowd seems restless and antsy waiting for the performers to come on stage. That moment when the lights dim and everyone realizes the show is about to begin, everything else in the world doesn’t matter anymore and all you care about is the show. Throughout the concert you experience something like nothing else, something you can not explain. When the concert ends, you are still on the high from what you just witnessed, singing the songs you just heard, jumping around, and just feel an all around joy.
When you wake up the next morning everything changes; you try to relive what happened the night before but you just can’t do that. You look back at the pictures and videos you took from that night but nothing can take you back to how you felt. As the days begin to go by, you tend to not think about it all day long and eventually, after probably about a week or so, you start to come out of that post concert low.
