Thread: Depression after Halloween?

Tweet

I know allot of people get it during New Years but I get it after Halloween. I cant wait till it gets here, then its gone in a flash. It seems the only month of the year I enjoy is October, am I alone in feeling this way?

Ive still got a couple decorations up just to help me get through the other 11 months

LOL. My wife laughs at me for saying the exact same thing. I seem to be totally consumed with preparing for this season but can't seem to get it together. I wish Summer would just get put on fast forward

I'm the same. It sucks

Very depressed after Halloween. I had a great time the entire month of October; it was so fun. The challenge is to make 2012's even better.

Onward!

Sorry to hear that ladies & gents *hugs* I had no time to feel depressed, because it's been full steam ahead with building & planning for 2012!

I think the way to get past this is to embrace the entire season of fall and combine it with October and Halloween events, thus drawing it out out as opposed to working towards that single night. I understand many haunters can't put their stuff out until the last minute because of vandalism and weather concerns, but there are so many other things going on that make Halloween more a season than one night. Whether it's watching horror movie marathons on TV, Halloween and supernatural specials airing, Halloween parties, hayrides, bonfires, hiking, admiring the fall scenery, or visiting haunted attractions, I think some of these things combined will create the sense of a much longer Halloween celebration. Of course, some of these can be done the entire year, and I've mentioned before that being a writer of supernatural fiction, it's not just in October when I read weird fiction or watch creepy movies. There are enough activities available 365 days a year that are related to Halloween, that can remind you or make you feel the spirit of the season all year long. And there's always my thread called "Halloween Room," lol. Our lower level den has a real nice atmosphere to it now. I have the new pool table, Halloween decorations up, some classic horror and sci-fi movie lobby cards, plus the 50 inch Plasma. Why not keep a taste of it up all year long?

Wasn't Halloween done, like 4 months ago?The mornin period is over! Get off you but and start planning and building! We have only 8 months! Get cracking, people!

Add another to the pity party I'm generally depressed, not just after Halloween, but the passing of my favorite time of the year certainly doesn't help matters, either Some of the websites are beginning to show new items, so there is a bit of consolation to be found, I suppose...

last year I was badly sick and had no will to develop or plan a Halloween anything. I am not depress about it just patiently thinking what do I want to be for Halloween this year. Not sure yet.

I definitely had a post-Halloween crash/slump. But a week later Ghouliet & I started prop building for 2012... so that helped me get over it. I think it took Ghouliet a bit longer to get over the slump though.
