People withdrawl?

I really enjoy spending time with my friends (even if I'm not much of a social butterfly). But when the last one goes home, especially after long periods of being with me, I begin to feel depressed. It doesn't matter what we were doing before. We could have been bored out of our minds and completely tuckered out, but I always feel unnaturally heavy-hearted when they leave.

It really puts a damper on my spirits, which is worst since it comes at a time when I was just having so much fun. It feels like people withdrawl. I get accustomed to having people around, and then I'm totally disappointed when they aren't anymore.

Does anyone else get this? Is there anything I can do about it?

This could be a sign of hypoglycemia.
Test yourself with the

The Nutrition-Behavior Inventory Questionnaire (NBI) at:

and the

The Hypo Quizz at:

If you score high go on a hypoglycemic diet

It definitely happens to me too. I love hanging out with my friends, when I can, and just crash when they're gone. A lot of it is self-doubt, I think. I assume that they can't wait to leave or stop hanging out with me, and that's why they left. Even though it's usually because they're tired and want to go home.

So, no answers, but at least confirmation that it's not just you.

Everything is caused by nutritional insufficiencies.

could be separation anxiety?

I guess it very well could be separation anxiety. I mean, I can get over the people leaving. I just hate how I feel later.

Are you guys serious that it's a nutrition issue? Because I eat well... Given that this is really a social problem, I just can't think it's my diet. Should I try vitamins or something? I thought perhaps it could be hormonal, but really... Insulin?

> Are you guys serious that it's a nutrition issue?

This guy is not.

Oh, sure, nutrition has something to do with -- everything animal. But I find that seeing nutrition as the answer to everything is -- bizarre. What is the saying about hammers? If you are a hammer everything looks like a nail?

"If all you have is a hammer, all your problems look like nails", I think is the one I've heard. But I agree that the nutritional angle doesn't seem likely in this case, because I eat pretty well.

How about coming to PC when they leave? Sort of an intermediary step between having lots of real-life people around, and being completely alone? That way, you can sort of "come down" slowly from the thrill of having chums nearby, to the general but still noticeable pleasantness of PC (chat, maybe).

(If you do this, PLEASE let us know how it goes. It might be the best idea I won't get a chance to test for a while! Good luck!)

i agree w/pseudonym( sorry about spelling) i think it is the same let down you have after the holidays are over. your back with yourself having to face your depression by yourself. coming here to chat right after they leave is a good idea too. i have the same problem myself. hope it helps janet56

Good idea. I can do that.
Thanks for the support.
