We're here to help.
Some people say that Post-Potter Depression feels like a black veil of despair coming down over their lives. Many people feel like they have no energy and can't concentrate. Others feel irritable all the time for no apparent reason. The symptoms vary from person to person, but if you feel "down" for more than two months, and these feelings are interfering with your daily life, you may be suffering from Post-Potter Depression.
Most people who have gone through one episode of Post-Potter Depression will, sooner or later, have another one. You may begin to feel some of the symptoms of depression several weeks before you develop a full-blown episode of depression. Learning to recognize these early triggers or symptoms will help to keep the depression from worsening.
Most people with Post-Potter Depression never seek help, even though the majority will respond to treatment. Treating depression is especially important because it affects you, your family, and your work. Some people with depression try to harm themselves in the mistaken belief that how they are feeling will never change. Post-Potter Depression is a treatable illness.
We're here to help. Working with the loving, caring members of this group, you can learn to manage depression. And maybe, when the time is right, you will rise from the ashes like a beautiful Phoenix and realize that you do have more to live for - that there is more to life than Harry Potter. Change won't come overnight—but with the right treatment, you can keep Post-Potter Depression from overshadowing your life.

Comment by Kimbert Weasley (: on July 7, 2010 at 5:44pm - It just sad that the series is almost over. I had no one to talk to, till I made a new friend at school. It made me cry, and my family and friends just made it worse. I wonder what is going to happen to the hp conventions, mugglenet, mugglespace, wrock music and mugglecast....I hope we still have that. I need to be with my true love, the Harry Potter series.

Comment by Lily and Severus Shipper <3 on July 4, 2010 at 10:31am - anytime anyone says something bad about the series or about how all harry potter fans are babies because we cried during the DH i want to punch them in the face!!!!!!!!!!!!! for example: my friend said snape was evil and an ugly, greasy git, i shouted at her and told her about the prince's tale. she laughed at me while i cried and shouted. later she did apologize but it still made me mad.

I agree, when i read the last page of the book when i was 12
I started to almost hyperventilate. i didnt want it to be over. but i realize that Rowling did that for a reason, so we can carry on with our individual fantasies of the books

Comment by Carlisle the Courageous on June 3, 2010 at 8:43pm - I was more upset when I read the final page of Deathly Hallows than when I read about the death of characters. It was just awful. Then, when I tried to talk about it with people, they'd brush me off and say "It's over. Why talk about it?". That's why I love fan sites. They allow us to go father than just the books.
