post rip depression

"Post rip depression" is the feeling of complete devastation and utter sadness when you lose your hardcore character in a game like Path of Exile.

This feeling often arises from becoming emotionally invested in the character and the time and effort put into its creation, only to have it abruptly taken away due to a mistake or unlucky circumstance.

Post rip depression hit me hard after my level 96 Raider got one shot by a rare mob.
