post series depression

What is it when after you finish a series, there is a sad cloud hanging over your head for several days, weeks, months, years? Post-series depression, or PSD, for short.

This is a real thing. It occurs when you have finished a series of books, movies, or a TV show. When the story ends, and you want it to keep going but it just doesn't.
No matter how hard you try, the story won't be the same.

How do you know if you have it?

Symptoms include:
- Being in a state of depression or sadness after finishing a series.
- Telling everyone to never(or definitely) read it because your life will be ruined
- Not being able to read another book
- Obsessively, rereading or rewatching over and over
- Writing or reading fanfictions about it.
- Frantically searching the Internet about it.
