Have any of you ever experienced Post-Gaming Depression? It's something I have experienced for years!

Basically, PGD is when you are finished with a game and you basically miss it. Usual symptoms include: not finishing games, crying at the end of the game, having dreams about the game, finger rashes, mild headaches, less enjoyment in other games, reading fanfiction, forcing others to play it and watching them, occasional stress-induced vomiting,not finding another great game for extended periods, and wanting a sequel.

If you have ever experienced PGD or show any symptoms, please submit a question below.

Dude. I'm seriously going to experience PGD. I'm almost done with Valkyria Chronicles. :'( I looked up how many chapters there are, and I'm at chapter 13...

(for those who are wondering, I just made up PGD. )

XD Valkyria Chronicles is awesome

Many many times, like when I finished Vesperia. It was even worse in that scenario because the last 10% of the game wasn't that good

@Yuna7780:
I feel it a lot. The worst of it came from having Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I suffered through 3 XBOX 360 Gamertag changes, each of which has the game completed in terms of achievements. Now, I'm playing Fallout 3, and it proves to be the newest afflictor of PGD for me.

I get sad when I finish a good game but I never had any of those symptoms.

Are you kidding me?!!

I play World of Warcraft. It's such a pain sometimes other games look cool but they are such a hassle sometimes. Need Heavy doses of GOOD GAIMZ

except for the crying you are correct and I know just what you mean

Every time a Metal Gear Solid game came out, I had all those symptoms. Yes, even the crying at the end ( that only happened in MGS2 and MGS4 )

Yeah. Valkyria Chronicles is the most recent game that has done that to me.

My more favourite games definitely did that to me as well. FFVII, Ocarina of Time, etc.

Although, a game has never made me cry or anything. I'm weird like that. Not even Klonoa's ending.
