What I mean by an event is say a Wedding, Family Function etc. I had a wedding yesterday, I had antispatory anxiety for months just at the thought of it, I was a best man, Last week was a torture, I was killed with anxiety. They we had the event yesterday and I had a really enjoyable day, today however now that its all over I feel so sad, almost like I could cry, Its like there is a price to pay for having such a good time.
The wedding was just one example, Last year we went on vacation, same thing happened, I came home and was almost in tears.
Its almost like I'd be better not doing anything out of the normal that is going to involve having fun as I will feel so depressed after.
Why do I always feel so low after an event?

hi dj its nice to see someone else from the uk.. i think what could happen is often after a high becomes a low.. you have been worked up for months then the event and then your body winds down a little.. this is what happens to me so i know that the depression stage wont last for long. are you on the programme. i feel this is the only thing that helps me because the uk does not deal with anxiety or depression very well so i had to go to the u.s for help!!

This may help research it and it sounds like long term anticipatory anxiety !Long term release of Cortisol !!!!!!!!!!
Burnout is a psychological term for the experience of long-term exhaustion and diminished interest. Actors, Musicians, mathematicians, authors, teachers, taxi drivers, athletes, engineers, emergency service workers, vocational rehabilitation, counselors, soldiers, scientists, reporters and high technology professionals seem more prone to burnout than others[citation needed]. General practitioners seem to have the highest proportion of burnout cases (according to a recent Dutch study in Psychological Reports, no less than 40% of these experienced high levels of burnout). Burnout is not a recognized disorder in the DSM.[1]
The most well-studied measurement of burnout in the literature is the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Maslach and her colleague Jackson first identified the construct "burnout" in the 1970s, and developed a measure that weighs the effects of emotional exhaustion and reduced sense of personal accomplishment.[2] This indicator has become the standard tool for measuring burnout in research on the syndrome. People who experience all three symptoms have the greatest degrees of burnout, although emotional exhaustion is said to be the hallmark of burnout.[citation needed]
Many theories of burnout include negative outcomes related to burnout, including job function (performance, output, etc.); health related outcomes (increases in stress hormones, coronary heart disease, circulatory issues), and mental health problems (depression, etc.).
Although burnout is work-related, most responsibility for burnout currently rests on the individual worker in the United States, as well as the individual company, as it is in a company's best interest to ensure burnout doesn't occur. Other countries, especially in Europe, have included work stress and burnout in occupational health and safety standards, and hold organizations (at least partly) responsible for preventing and treating burnout.
