Its the day after and you're tired. You're body hurts. You're sticky. You've got sunburn brighter than the sun itself. All you really want at the moment is a shower. So do it. Treat yourself. Find luxury and happiness until it kicks in. Yes, you know what I'm talking about. After concert depression.
That feeling of utter loss as your best day ever is over. The day you've been waiting months for is over. All you want to do is curl up in a ball and cry. But here are some tips to help. Don't go off and listen to the people you've just seen. That will only make you wish you were there again. As well as don't look through the pictures or videos that you took the day before. It might leave you in a sobbing mess and no one wants that. Give yourself at least a week before you even try to think about the concert.
It will be difficult. You'll feel soulless for days but eventually you'll learn how to live again. You'll be able to actually look at videos and interviews again without feeling like a piece of you is missing. It'll be okay. Once your depression is over you'll be searching for the next dates and counting down the days once again because lets be honest with ourselves the pain is nothing compared to the absolute joy you feel when you see your favorite artist or band member perform.
