You like the juice that gets riled up in your brain when you follow those things. A lot of performers and pro athletes experience the same thing when they are off the road or it is the offseason.

You may have an addictive personality since crack addicts, for example, are always trying to revisit the rush of that first hit. Shopaholics the same thing. They get a buzz from the act. Your buzz comes from being a spectator. There's nothing wrong with that per se unless it interferes with your ability to carry on your daily life in a reasonable way. If you get to a point you feel depressed for extended periods because an event has passed you should see a psychologist or some kind of therapist.

The key is to keep yourself busy. If you enjoy watching sports, why not play sports? I want to pick up fencing and tennis after watching Wimbledon & the Olympics.

Or just do something else to keep yourself busy. Read a book, exercise, play sport, watch a movie, write something, etc, etc.

I feel the same sometimes. You just have to fill that void!

Good luck!

I sometimes have the same problem, even if it's just because I watches the last episode of a show I really love. I think of is as "missing my friends" from that event/show/whatever. I think it helps to focus on something else that won't get you too involved for a while, like reading a funny book or starting a small crafty project.
