post-barnum depression
n. moderate to severe depression in a performer or staff person after giving birth to a fantastic blow-your-mind show, when the cast and crew diaspora leaves your hitherto fervent banner flaccid in the listless echoing breeze. onset is typically a few days after the blowout closing party.
symptoms include sadness, fatigue, insomnia, appet-te changes, having the libido of an awkward teenaged virgin, crying episodes, hysterical laughter, irritability, staring at google maps, the tuneless humming of barn-revival spirituals, chromatic-motion melodies in 6/8 time, or minor-key adaptations of survivor’s ‘eye of the tiger’, and facebook status updates.
food-related cravings are not uncommon, especially for hot dogs, or paper and plastic bags of salty-yet-sweet snack foods (e.g., kettle corn). a dull disappointment is inevitable when the lid is removed from a can of peanut brittle and the sufferer is not ever greeted by spring-loaded snakes. honestly, what’s the use.
commonly abbreviated as pbd.
closely related to “post-camp depression” (pcd), “post-con syndrome” (pcs), “whoa, too fun” (wtf).
