Lately, I've been feeling like I've been wasting my time if I'm not out with friends or something. And for some reason (I think the two may be connected) I also feel empty and miserable after reading. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, the kinds that spend time on the online forums and all that. But I've been unable to enjoy fanfiction because finishing it makes me feel.. sad. I haven't pinpointed the emotion, or the cause, but I feel kinda down. I just finished the Twilight series, which was pretty good, but now I can't stop moping around the house.
At first I blamed it on the happy ending: I told myself I was sad that such a thing didn't exist. It only seems to happen when I'm not busy, like when I have nothing to do. Any idea what's wrong with me? I want to be able to enjoy Twilight!

You can also make plans to do fun activities with your family and friends.
And I definitely understand the feeling you get after reading a good book. Maybe the reason you're feeling depressed after reading is probably because it's a whole new world that separates you from reality. Like, books are filled with all different kinds of adventures that every person wishes they could venture through themselves. Sorry if it sounds confusing, but maybe you just wish your life had something interesting happening like...meeting a vampire (well not really but almost something unbelievable I suppose)! Everyone wants something extraordinary to happen after all.
I hope this advice was of some helpful use to you and I'm sorry if it's a little confusing!
