My heart break, finishing a TV show series

Post-series depression

As I sit here writing this blog, I am also watching the final episode of the TV show series “The Office”. I have to say, I am feeling a bit conflicted. I had been binging on this show for about a little over a month and to say goodbye to it is a little sad. I actually find myself in this situation a lot. After I finish any TV series or anime I find myself lost and alone. Of course I’m being dramatic but it is still a bittersweet situation. The urban dictionary calls this state “Post-Series Depression”.

Why do we miss these shows so much?

You watch a few episodes and suddenly you find yourself invested in love triangles, story plots, and character development. you spent so much time watching these fake lives go on. Maybe it is that you find a character that you find relatable so you cling to their story line. Perhaps you fall in love with a character that is nothing like you, but you keep watching because they inspire you.  Seeing these characters fall in love, get married, have children, and even die takes you on an emotional roller coaster. I remember crying on a few episodes on Greys Anatomy. That show shows no mercy! I remember watching the anime series Naruto and being so proud of him. He isn’t a real character but I was so proud of all that he accomplished.

Next time appreciate what you have

I didn’t know how good I had it. When you see a series that has a solid 9 or 10 seasons you figure you have time to enjoy before the heart break creeps up on you. However, all things come to an end. If anything the longer the series the sadder it is when it is all over. May I suggest that we appreciate the show as we watch. Appreciate the gold that writers have gifted upon you and all of the wit the actors put into their acting. It may sound corny but some of these shows really help people out. Whether it be taking us to a fantasy world or showing us that there is a chance at love, these shows inspire us!

How to cope

I love Netflix, but at the same time I hate it because I become addicted to so many great shows that all eventually end. Resulting in my heart break. So what can we do to cope with the loss of our favorite shows?  When our favorite characters seize to exist? We can move on, remember the good times and perhaps give Netflix a break. Maybe some fresh air would do us some good, and help us forget the pain.

Then again, we can also click on the next series on Netflix and start the whole process of falling in love with the show then being heart broken when it ends all over again. Honestly, that’s what I do. Bates Motel, here I come!
