i get so hollow whenever a big event I'm so into ends, like a trip, Euro, NBA and Olympics.. Especially, now that Michael Phelps is retiring..
How can i overcome this feeling.. i feel so meaningless now
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.

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!
THOSEGirls answered Sunday August 5 2012, 8:07 pm: 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.
