To need to being myself down off this high (not drugs)- from a concert

When to see Bon Jovi in Edinburgh . OMG it was amazing. I have seen them before but it just sent me on such a high. I feel like I have been floating ever since. I can’t stop thinking about it. Looking up clips, day dreaming. I also get the feeling it may be the last time they tour.

My husband is finding it quite funny at the moment. I have been a fan since I was 8 (now 45)

has this ever happened to anyone else. I feel so silly I need to get my brain back in gear.

cold shower?
slapping myself?

any other ideas. Expecting some comments about how sad this is and how Bon Jovi is awful

Yes it happened to me with a different artist. High lasted a few days. I'd say enjoy it and ride it out.

My dh has already said jokingly (I think) do I want him to dress up as said singer for our next “session”.

I am like er no love it’s ok. I am guessing he meant the 80s rocker look and not a grey wig to look like Jon as he is now. (Though I would not kick either version of the actual Jon out of bed)

That’s so great to hear. Why not stay with the high as long as possible?? Life isn’t like this every day…

Ask dh if your next 'session ' you can call him Jon??

Happened to me recently, I saw in concert and met my teen idol, only took 40 years.

i felt like I was 13 again, watching videos, listening to his music, lasted a few days and normal life kicked in.

So enjoy for now, you were probably really excited looking forward to the concert, now you have concert blues, like holiday blues. You feel like it never happened and unfortunately normal life resumes

I think it’s lovely that you’ve had such a reaction.

I’ve no advice but I was there as well and what an amazing night!! I’m not surprised you are still on a high 😁
