I've just noticed that many people seem to feel like they've lost their old friend or something, so I thought it could be nice to collect tips for them to survive it!

Here are some of mine:

Get fresh air (not after re-reading or posting just a couple more times - NOW). An hour of walking, listening some music and clearing your head always helps.

Call to a friend or a family member and disuss anything non-reated to Potter. It's good to remember there are still loving people and happiness out there.

Have a Potter-free day. Stay away from the Lounge, from the books, from the movies... Gives a little distance and perspective.

Sleep. 48h of non-stop reading makes anyone feel bad. Things always seem more simple after prosessing them while sleeping.

Remember you're not alone. There are people in here to discuss anything with.

Not trying to play a shrink or anything,just that these things have helped me at times when it has felt like world is never gonna be the same.
