11 People Share About How Real Post-Diwali Depression Is And We Agree

"What will we do once Diwali ends?" is one question that all of us ask each-other a few days before Diwali. Because we get so used to being happy with our families that we really don't know how to get back to our monotonous schedules once Diwali celebrations end.?

The day after Diwali is probably the ONE day almost everyone dreads. Because it not just marks the end of Diwali season but an end to endless family get-togethers, nights spent playing teen patti and the general festive cheer and happiness. No wonder then that people experience what we are calling Post-Diwali depression. And after talking to eleven people, we rest our case about how the festive season has the power to not only make us happy but sad too. Read their responses below and get ready to go through Diwali nostalgia one more time, until we come back next year.
