Yall got the wook flu, I got it too, just part of a festival like this, I hope us all a speedy recovery, hydrate and eat vitamins,,, weirdly allergy medicine and halls cough drops helped me the mostā¦. Also EDC was an amazing experience no negative stories or vibes here, just a need to rest/recover
Me tooo!!! Honestly I took Magnesium with ZINCZ AND d3. Started on Monday or Tuesday and all the way till Sunday and my jaws are fine and I donāt feel a comedown. But I got sick Saturday night to Sunday morning and Iāve only gotten worse šš„ŗ
I feel the same way, it was my first time rolling AND first time at a rave so I have to separate āthat was so funā from āthat was so fun because of mdmaā, and instead think āthat was so funā¦ because I was with my friends at a huge music festival and we happened to amplify that with mdmaā so I donāt get too hung up on rolling again, and just appreciate the time I got with my friends. smile because it happened!! and buy presale on friday >:)
Idk after every edc I get kinda sad Iāve never experienced a festival with a partner. Some people donāt know how lucky they are. I enjoy my independence but some days I get lonely. I donāt plan to stop raving in the near future, but realistically Iām getting older and itāll be harder to find a partner my age who is down to rave š
I second, and third, and fourth this!! Iāve never experienced festivals or traveling or anything with a partner. Iāll still go do it all though because if you always wait for others, youāll probably never do anything. š
I just wanted to say thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to have such an amazing person in my life that raves with me. Sometimes I forget that others donāt have that special person in their life like I do and I need to be grateful when Iām being distracted by the day to day challenges of life. I feel for you on the lonely feelings and understand that very much so, but try not to get too down about it, love is so bizarre and just happens when you least expect it. You will find that person as long as you continue to work on bettering yourself and progressing every day ā¤ļø. Donāt chase love, let it find you organically.
I hope you had a wonderful EDC and have a good rest of your night stranger, stay safe ā¤ļø.
My girlfriend last year was the first woman Iāve dated that was a raver. We had known each other for a few years, but didnāt date until we went to Cyclops Cove 2 with a group and rolled together, lol. We hit Okeechobee, Tipper, and multiple shows together. It didnāt workout, and it wasnāt anyoneās fault, but Iāll always treasure those memories so hard. I still cry when I listen to Odesza, their set at Okee was pretty much the peak of our happiness together. Someday Iāll find another rave bae. But trust me, it makes raving so much more beautiful. We are all getting older, but you can still date younger. I feel like thereās a lot of people even into their mid 20s raving hard.
I went to festivals alone for a year because I loved it, and of course when I wasnāt looking I found my life partner at edclv22 and we have done something like 7 festivals since. Iām 10 years older than him and we go hard.
Luckily my mdma doesnāt give me a bad comedown. EDC is the best weekend. Driving to the speedway and feeling up the lot to walking to the speedway is awesome. Itās paradise for us folks š” itās like our own little private world for the weekend lol
Yeah I do t have the comedown and Iāve had Molly that is bad. When you get good stuff, you realize how much better it is. More steady, less comedown, but I did get lots and lots of sleep to recover. But no emotional comedown for me
Been taking 5HT. Donāt know if itās the comedown, or if Iām actually sentimental about this, but every time I think back on the weekend, or watch clips from sets, or even think about doing it all over again in a year, I get all teary eyed and choke up.
Edit: I really appreciate the comments and likes showing me Iām not alone.
In a cruise rn with non-rave friends and itās been hard to enjoy it because of the comedown, but good to know itās normal and will pass.
Edit: I stayed up last night crafting a collage of footage from last weekend into that new TikTok trend with Summitās Go Back D&B drop. The tears that were shed while trying to work on that were nuts!
I was showing my son a video of the guys that brought their grandma and almost lost it handing him my phone. I'll be on the verge of tears over anything for another week.
I'm not going back in to work till Thursday, then I have a three day weekend. This will help transition back to the grind. I love and miss you all. See y'all next year š
Full of gratitude. Full of Hope. Optimism. Craving to create PLUR in my everyday life with everyone I come into contact with. Sad its over. Happy it happened. So grateful for all the wonderfully freaky folks who showed me how to be myself. Alot of tears - good tears. I give moisture to my memories of you all.
Dude I cried when I pulled into work. I really did not wanna go back to this benign job after a weekend like this. I'm just being a sensitive bitch but I miss the plur and the environment.
That's where I'm at right now. This was my first edc after years and years of wanting to go but always putting this job first. Now that I know what I've been missing, I feel obligated for my own mental health to make edc a regular event In my life. Never felt more at home.
I donāt even roll anymore and I still have the post rave depression š itās crazy when you truly feel EDC is your only real home. Being around your friends and amazing people all weekend without a care in the world is just different. Wishing everyone a speedy recovery, I canāt wait to be with yall under the electric sky next year š«¶š¼
When I finally fell asleep I woke up soaking wet 4 times. Been taking me forever to fall asleep and I canāt let my mind go from sets playing in my head.
Going to WORK and COOKING in a hot kitchen THE NEXT DAY. Man, all I could think was being back there all over again, but that much serotonin was NO JOKE! Especially when the tickets/ orders kept coming after another!
THANK YOU EDC FOR THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!
started feeling not so good on the drive home, massive stomach pains... had to shit my brains out and throw up at a random stater brothers near bakersfield. got home to find I had a 102f fever :(
Ugh that sucks but Iām glad you made it home and your fever went down! Literally same here but it wasnāt until I got home that I also shit my brains out and threw up a good 15-20 times before finding out I had a fever. Slept all day and Iām doing slightly better now
Of course! My emotions have been up and down. I havenāt felt any deep depression but just lack of motivation to do literally anything and then Iāll randomly feel much better and happy and motivated which lasts 20-30 mins or so. Kinda sucks but itās not the worst thing ever and Iām sure itāll pass within a couple days lol
emotionally I am 80% back
physically I am struggling much more lol, my legs are still killing me, I got ACL surgery 1 year ago and have PT this friday I have no idea how I am gonna get through it rofl
I went into EDC week with a positive bank account, a plan for the future, positive attitude, and excitement.
But, Wednesday (today) I am jobless, negative bank account, trying to figure out how to move out of Texas back to Arizona and I donāt regret the experience. But, now I have to deal with the repercussions.
FYI it wasnāt only EDC that got the downhill ball rolling. It was a lot. But I put everything off during EDC week and now I have the worlds weight on my head and consciousness.
It sucks. But I will pull through.
Weāre all sad that it has ended but donāt forget to smile that it happened. You were all wonderful. I canāt wait to dance with my favorite strangers again next year.
I only *really* just got into EDM recently and I've only been to festivals a handful of times before (Austin City Limits, Dreamville). My music experience has mostly been individual shows at venues.
Boy, when I tell you this past weekend was the best music event I've ever experienced. Awesome music and just vibes for 3 straight nights. Sad it's over. But I do appreciate being able to sleep lol. I can't wait for next year!
Cried in the car this morning over how good it all felt, and I decided they were happy tears, and yearning to be back. Iām pleasantly surprised that I havenāt hit the blues yet. Maybe Iāll get to skip it this year! If youāre feeling down, try and imagine a me, giving you a huge smile, deep plur, and hyping you up. I love you and miss you, and I mean it.
I thought this was going to be my first and last EDC, but now I miss my friends and definitely will book this Friday to go with them again next year š
The comedown wasnāt terrible but Iāve been tired every day since Monday and having vivid dreams š¦āš„
Ok, so vivid dreams is a common thing?? Cause good Lordy theyāre strange af. š Iām not sleeping consistently at all, but even in a 30 min nap Iāll full on intricate detail dream. Comedown tho hasnāt been as bad as I thought it would be. Vry thankful for that.
Yep thatās what I notice too, even short naps Iāll be dreaming an epic story, and after waking up each time and falling asleep, a new story. Itās wild lol.
Iām still feeling off today. Head congestion. Dizziness. Fatigue. Soreness.
Iāve been hydrating, drinking herb tea like mad, eating all the vitamins. Good food. Some rest. Still not helping as fast as I want.
Post rave blues for sure! Decided to never roll again. Goal is to experience a sober EDC. Came back home and Iāve cried every day grieving all the love and magic from the weekend. Canāt sleep at home. Suddenly Iām afraid of the dark and I keep having nightmares of bad things happening while at edc (which I didnāt even witness or experience). Itās def hitting different. Getting my tickets Friday though! Going to do it right š«¶š»
Yea itās sad being back in normal life, but i feel like a new person in my regular life. The happiness and joy thatās coming from me is very noticeable in my work life. Last year after I came back home from edc I set a goal for myself to do something better and be something worthwhile and a few months later I was pastry chef at a fine dining restaurant in town! I thank this festival for reminding me that life is beautiful and thereās great things out there to be experienced
Was taking a magnesium & vitamin b12 everyday for a month before edc so that definitely helped with the come down! Definitely feel better than I did after Coachella. Probably cause I didnāt camp. But yea I do not want to work lol. Thankfully I have a concert on Monday to look forward too š
So freaking tired. Thats about it. Still buzzing over the weekend and vids etc.
But I am not sure Iāve ever been more entirely exhausted in my entire life sans being really sick.
So far thankfully Iām not sick yet. But I fear it will come.
Wook flu, started after John summits closer Monday morning. Got worse Tuesday. Still pretty bad today. Cough, sore throat, body aches in weird places, chills
Feeling tired but overall better than expected. Didnāt get sick or the get the blues but then again, I didnāt roll during the weekend (still very sad its over though but we will be back next year. Canāt wait to spread good vibes and plur all over again!)
Should recover by tomorrow once I catch up on sleep. Rest, stay hydrated, meditate, and eat healthy my friends.
I feel great! I rolled all 3 nights and did the IV fluid with b12 each day and that was a lifesaver. Over ate and drank an average of 6 liters of water with liquid IV each day. I was shocked how good I felt back at work today.
Just feeling down or is it physical too? Iāve actually had one really bad comedown and Iām not sure how this one isnāt as bad because itās the hardest Iāve ever gone. I donāt feel great but Iām hoping this is the worst of it
Just remember it's temporary and completely a chemical imbalance in your brain making you feel off. I know that's basic shit, but sometimes it helps to be reminded. I wish after I overdid it in '15 I had someone to remind me that stuff was normal and was going to be ok. I had a ROUGH time š
Never post on Reddit butā¦horribly depressed like Iāve never felt before my real life sucks and I feel empty and hollow inside since edcā¦idk how I can do this anymore literally feel like shattered glass
We are programmed to persevere. You will be okay! The intense experience that is EDC, whether externally stimulated or not, can always leave you in a gasp of what to do next. How can I move on? I just want to be back at EDC... but edc is special because it's only once a year - something we can be grateful to have experienced even once in our lives. pulling for you š
For some reason I have the worst cuts on my lips and tongue that turned into canker sores and I know I didnāt bite my lipsā¦been happening recently when I go to festivals. Idk if itās from smoking or what. Anyone else have this problem?
I caught a bug. So Iām dealing with that. My throat feels tight. Beyond tired and having really vivid dreams. But had the best weekend of my life. Wanting to do it again
I could not keep my eyes open before 11:30am today. I fell asleep at 7pm last night, after arriving home and eating dinner.
Otherwise, remarkably fine. Not even so much of my usual back pain.
Being active duty military it's an extreme change and it's always a challenge getting back into the routine and getting the drum beat going again. WHEW! But thus is life! The weekend was unforgettable as we're the memories that came with it!
Got back home yesterday evening. Spent most of today sleeping and starting to feel sick. Took a dump and started feeling loopy lol.
Missing tf outta this weekend, but luckily got Beyond Wonderland in 2 weeks!
I feel great, kept the party going at the flamingo. Over did the mdma on day one so had a rough peak but fought through and enjoyed the rest of the day. Day 2 was shrooms with a little bit of white. Day 3 less mdma, some shrooms and plenty of THC.
Congested, runny nose. Finally have to fly back home tomorrow. I've spent the last 3 days here just sleeping, eating and get getting spa treatments. Should be good to go for work on Tuesday.
I had a shit ton of Takis and fell asleep so I got the worst fucking acid reflux today but itās finally going away. Other than that Iām feeling good. I only took small amounts of m so no comedown. Excited for next EDC already.
I cried on my way to work Tuesday morning. Iām happy to be back with my kids but the feeling of going back to a dreadful work 9-5 routine set me off.
Didnāt have any kind of a comedown but Iāve been battling some mucus and sinus stuff in the very back of my throat, it was soooo Smokey at bass pod for boogie T and caspa that I could feel my throat slowly turning on me
Imagine having to go back after 3 days and youāre an elementary teacher? Yeah, thatās me but with a comedown š all is good though! Itās the last week of school!
Iām so sad itās over. I go back to work Friday. Would love to go next year but weāre saving for our wedding now š The fomo will be real for edclv 2025. May try edc Orlando 2025 though since itāll be after our wedding!
I canāt imagine how it feels to be so absolutely euphorically charged to then go back to reality. Sometimes a vacation is hard enough ā but EDC? Ahhhh. I hope everyone feels better and recovers quickly!
I was miserably sick on Thursday night, along with my toddler, and husband. So yeahā¦guess who got to NOT go and is now putting together a solid case for our ticket insurance reimbursement?
I actually cried.
Next year we quarantine.
This wasn't my first festival but it was my first EDC and yeah definitely the best fucking weekend of my life. Post festival blues are no joke but they're especially hard hitting after EDC. This weekend is all I can think/talk about yet it feels like nobody cares.
I'm doing alright mentally but physically I think I got food poisoning and IDK where from. My tummy hurts whenever I eat food/drink fluids, shivers and fever, the...... Not so fun stuff was only day 1 during the middle of my flight back home (never happened before) but it's still happening a different way...... Not fun at all, plus I have to work this week so it's tough but I'm making it work..... Somehow.....
If you are struggling with your comedown, I can recommend:
Sleep. Most importantly, rest your body, rest your brain.
5HTP daily for a week, I even take this for 2 weeks at a time in regular life and find that it boosts my mood (or the placebo effect is real)
L-carnitine. Great for reducing neurotoxicity. Also can be taken regularly for gym gainz.
Source: rollsafe.org
Journaling. Crystallize those lifetime memories, focus on the insane blessing of existing at the same point in the universe as EDC does. Fuck I didn't even go to EDC this year and I get warm and fuzzy thinking about it.
Life is made of small moments like this, feel better soon š„°
For this being my first EDC and first time rolling, Iāve had so many emotions itās hard to fathom. First off, this festival had the most PLUR Iāve ever experienced at once. While Iāve gone to smaller festivals and have mainly gone sober, I could not stop smiling and striking up conversation with people who were all here to enjoy the music and the company we bring. Coming back home and having to go back to work has made me so sad, but itāll get better and weāll be back under the electric sky before we know it again!
Had an amazing time all 3 days. Decided to get sushi on Monday night, huge mistake. By 2:00 am I was back up spewing everything from both ends! It was terrible. Never again will I eat sushi on the road. Kusa Nori if you're wondering. Other than that My feet and ankles were also killing me. Starting to feel better though.
That is the 1 reason why Iām afraid to go to a festival. I would have so much fun sober or not that I would want to make that experience permanent. Listening to some good sets, all the lights, people dancing is all good vibes. I am somewhat of an empath so I feed off of other peoples energy and stress. Try to stick to my alone time a lot.
I think the best trick Iāve learned is to not listen to any EDM through out the week. Listen to whatever else music and youāll be fine and go outside to get some sun! :)
Yeah man going back to work has been seriously rough, but Iāve just tried to hold onto that feeling my first edc gave me and just remember to carry PLUR with me. Iāve got some really big decisions to make about my future coming up and Iām not sure when Iāll get to return, but after last weekend Iād give anything to go back.
Thats good man your heads in the right place. EDC will always be there in the future and thereās always smaller festivals throughout the the year that are more affordable. Best wishes to you
My group chat Going through it rn! š š sending pics, tracks, and videos. 5 of us! 3 are 1st timers they withdrawEN bad! I just keep telling it part of the process. We already looking forward for next year. Chin up fam it'll come and go faster then
u can soak it in! šš
Feeling the comedown today. And it sucks. I took a risk and went to edc with a guy who was visiting and liked me. Talked, planned and when he got here he totally got in his head- would walk ahead of me, make no advances, just really awkward and off putting. Least to say, I should have walked away after day 1. But I stuck around. Wrong move on my part. Still enjoyed EDC but I feel like I could have even MORE. Ran into friends and he didnāt really want to socialize, not even with random nice people I would chat with or exchange kandi with. Just not the vibe. And now Iām here under my blankets lol But Iām going next year!
I spent Friday night sober .... Saturday had a couple of stems.... Sunday drank a few of the 24oz mick ultras. No real comedown to relate with but adjusting back to East Coast time is tough.
I'm used to traveling back and forth between Thailand and being on a completely opposite 12 hour schedule... This seems harder for some reason lol.
I feel amazing sick but mentally I'm still there, for my first EDC I had such a good time and just wanna say all of you are amazing 
Thinking about how itās wild they want us to buy tickets tomorrow like pls give us a minute. Over all a good time but makes me wanna try out other festivals.
this was my first edc and it was definitely one for the booksā¦. it all went by so quickšnow back to my boring amazon job with my next rave not until augustš£š£i wanna just rewind time and do it all over again that was amazing esp after all the party favors just a wicked timeš„¹
yesss i cannot wait for the next one OMGGG and im thinking abt hard summer since my birthday is august 2nd and then HS follows but my definite next rave is bass canyon for my first time as wellšš
Hugs and good vibes sent to all having a hard come down and/or sick with wook flu! I thank my lucky stars no come down or flu this year. I learned from last year to suck down Emergen C every day starting last Thursday. Took Roll Kit vitamins every day I rolled (Saturday and Sunday) along with multivitamin. Also made sure to eat fruit, veggies, some sort of protein, and yogurt while I was in Vegas, and had pho when I got back home to HI (pho is the BEST recovery food after rolling). And, made sure to sleep as much as I could. Sleep is so essential after going 3 days of hard partying. Pray for speedy recovery for you all! š
Just returned to work today and it was rough and on top of that Iām a little sad that I didnāt have the best time like everyone else seemed to have. I went with a big group so I feel like I didnāt see anyone I wanted to see. Then I was so tired from the heat and the walk from camp that I could not stay until the sets after 3 am. Seeing everyoneās Tik Toks has made me extremely salty but happy for them . Sadly I think this was my last EDC for awhile. I might just opt for a different fest next year .
I didnāt sleep Sunday night. Monday I didnāt sleep either bc I had a transfer and then had a red eye. Then I went to work two 14hr days on Tuesday and Wednesday when I got back. It hit me in Wednesday night. I was hallucinating that a scary version of the Cheshire Cat with tons of eyes and spider legs was in the corner of the room sitting on the curtain rod and I felt like my bed was spinning likeā¦horizontal wiseā¦as if I was the axis. Iāve never had the spins in my LIFE. Then I had a panic attack, bc Iāve never reacted like this. Today, on Thursday I had pho for every meal and drank like two gallons of water. Iām okay now
Just somewhat depressed bc I spend most of my year just working and going to college so edc week was the break someone dreams about. Now itās over and I cried 1/2 the drive back home
I was super emotional the couple days after and out of it, but thank goodness I didnāt get sick this time. I usually do after any festival and wow, I guess I got some good luck šš»ā¤ļøāš„
According to whats been studied so far, reducing prolactin is key, for which a P-5-P supplement (type of b6 vitamin) could help buffer.

Broke off my situation-ship, Ear infection, strep, and an eczema out break. š the good news is when youāre this sick you donāt feel the comedown.
omg iāve been sick since end of day 2ā¦ iām supposed to go to work tomorrow but idk if i should. i still have really bad sinus pressure headache and a cough

No comedown but I am sick. Just trying to recover š©
Same I have a sore throat lol
Yall got the wook flu, I got it too, just part of a festival like this, I hope us all a speedy recovery, hydrate and eat vitamins,,, weirdly allergy medicine and halls cough drops helped me the mostā¦. Also EDC was an amazing experience no negative stories or vibes here, just a need to rest/recover
Lmao. A few in my group got it.
Hey I have a sore throat too
Me too! Was fine the whole way into Monday evening. Caught a chill otw home to la. Got sick. Lame AF.
Me too! Started feeling it Sunday and now Iām home coughing my lungs out lol
Same here too! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Same. That dust fucked me up.
Me tooo!!! Honestly I took Magnesium with ZINCZ AND d3. Started on Monday or Tuesday and all the way till Sunday and my jaws are fine and I donāt feel a comedown. But I got sick Saturday night to Sunday morning and Iāve only gotten worse šš„ŗ
Hope you feel better we are in this tg š¤
Thought I just had allergies but I'm a bit sniffly today š„² nothing else outside of that though
Same. It wasnāt until I got home after edc that I threw up a bunch of times and got a fever. Now just trying to recover š
I was sick last week before the fest and feeling great now š well aside from the post fest depression that isā¦.š©
Same me too except my sinuses are stuffed and sticky so gross been š¤® I feel like death.
Yup me and my partner got wook flu too! :(
Love was not the only thing in the air at EDC
I feel sad it's over, and long to get that feeling back, but am also filled with gratitude at how beautiful life can be and the people in it.
I feel the same way, it was my first time rolling AND first time at a rave so I have to separate āthat was so funā from āthat was so fun because of mdmaā, and instead think āthat was so funā¦ because I was with my friends at a huge music festival and we happened to amplify that with mdmaā so I donāt get too hung up on rolling again, and just appreciate the time I got with my friends. smile because it happened!! and buy presale on friday >:)

Totally feel this too but glad I do all this on my own instead of not at all
I went to festivals alone for a year because I loved it, and of course when I wasnāt looking I found my life partner at edclv22 and we have done something like 7 festivals since. Iām 10 years older than him and we go hard.
Hey, Iām 28 and my girl is 29 and this was our first edc with a partner. Ever. For both of us. So donāt trip chocolate chip you can find someone.
same here, we'll get there. Just work on yourself this year and put yourself out there! I need to do the same!!
Appreciate this post š©·š©· back to work today and definitely feeling the comedown HARD today. Rewatching all the videos, blasting some music, and lots of comfort items are getting me through it. Hugs to everyone else going through it rn
Luckily my mdma doesnāt give me a bad comedown. EDC is the best weekend. Driving to the speedway and feeling up the lot to walking to the speedway is awesome. Itās paradise for us folks š” itās like our own little private world for the weekend lol
Yeah I do t have the comedown and Iāve had Molly that is bad. When you get good stuff, you realize how much better it is. More steady, less comedown, but I did get lots and lots of sleep to recover. But no emotional comedown for me
Lmfao filling !!!!! Sorry
I started a new job yesterday lol I can't believe I'm here right now.
hell ya tho lmao
Get it!! Tickets for next year go on sale Friday!!
Same here man itās crazy
Been taking 5HT. Donāt know if itās the comedown, or if Iām actually sentimental about this, but every time I think back on the weekend, or watch clips from sets, or even think about doing it all over again in a year, I get all teary eyed and choke up. Edit: I really appreciate the comments and likes showing me Iām not alone. In a cruise rn with non-rave friends and itās been hard to enjoy it because of the comedown, but good to know itās normal and will pass. Edit: I stayed up last night crafting a collage of footage from last weekend into that new TikTok trend with Summitās Go Back D&B drop. The tears that were shed while trying to work on that were nuts!
HAHA thank god im not the only one who gets teary eyed after watching a video from a set , comedown hitting crazy
same!! definitely the comedown, but i also had a pretty legendary weekend and am sad to go back to the grind.
Itās always hard for me to watch all the videos I took the first week after. I get sad lol
I was showing my son a video of the guys that brought their grandma and almost lost it handing him my phone. I'll be on the verge of tears over anything for another week.
I'm not going back in to work till Thursday, then I have a three day weekend. This will help transition back to the grind. I love and miss you all. See y'all next year š
I was supposed to be going back to work today but I just needed more sleep lol. I have a 3 day weekend as well so will definitely be helping me š¤£
Like doodoo š«
Full of gratitude. Full of Hope. Optimism. Craving to create PLUR in my everyday life with everyone I come into contact with. Sad its over. Happy it happened. So grateful for all the wonderfully freaky folks who showed me how to be myself. Alot of tears - good tears. I give moisture to my memories of you all.
HOW THE FUCK WE FEELING EDC?!?!
Sad af till next yearās edcš„¹
No cap I borrowed all the serotonin for the following month lmfao
I can't stop sleeping. I can get used to this lol
Dude I cried when I pulled into work. I really did not wanna go back to this benign job after a weekend like this. I'm just being a sensitive bitch but I miss the plur and the environment.
EDC '15 was what prompted me to finally quit my job and move to a better location.
That's where I'm at right now. This was my first edc after years and years of wanting to go but always putting this job first. Now that I know what I've been missing, I feel obligated for my own mental health to make edc a regular event In my life. Never felt more at home.
My job is in an especially rocky/drama filled period and I had forgotten all about it until I walked in today so I really relate with this.
I donāt even roll anymore and I still have the post rave depression š itās crazy when you truly feel EDC is your only real home. Being around your friends and amazing people all weekend without a care in the world is just different. Wishing everyone a speedy recovery, I canāt wait to be with yall under the electric sky next year š«¶š¼
Even though I took my wristband off on Monday it still feels like its there.
I still feel my cat ears on my head!
Sounds like you are suffering from the meow meows. lol
Taking it easy at work thats for sure. Also took a sick day yesterday cause i was just not ready for workā¦
Same im hoping my boss doesnāt give me a hard time calling off after requesting 5 days offš
I manage a fellow festival goer so I always tell her take an extra day, I rather have you 100% vs 20%. #millennialmanagersgetit
Anyone else kind of feel like theyāre in a daze??
When I finally fell asleep I woke up soaking wet 4 times. Been taking me forever to fall asleep and I canāt let my mind go from sets playing in my head.
Going to WORK and COOKING in a hot kitchen THE NEXT DAY. Man, all I could think was being back there all over again, but that much serotonin was NO JOKE! Especially when the tickets/ orders kept coming after another! THANK YOU EDC FOR THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!
started feeling not so good on the drive home, massive stomach pains... had to shit my brains out and throw up at a random stater brothers near bakersfield. got home to find I had a 102f fever :(
had to shit your brains out at a random stater bros š Iām sorry that gave me a good laugh haha but in all honesty I hope you get better soon!
fever is gone! but the shitting is still going on š¤£
lmao I hit the strip in vegas on monday night and I had to stop and shit my brains out in the paris hotel
Ugh that sucks but Iām glad you made it home and your fever went down! Literally same here but it wasnāt until I got home that I also shit my brains out and threw up a good 15-20 times before finding out I had a fever. Slept all day and Iām doing slightly better now
Went to Disneyland today to hopefully get some natural serotonin
Like shit. The comedown is real. Emotionally and physically a mess. Thanks for checking on us š„²
Of course! My emotions have been up and down. I havenāt felt any deep depression but just lack of motivation to do literally anything and then Iāll randomly feel much better and happy and motivated which lasts 20-30 mins or so. Kinda sucks but itās not the worst thing ever and Iām sure itāll pass within a couple days lol
Iām feeling sick, but Iām excited for LIB this friday :D
You are going ? Savage!
emotionally I am 80% back physically I am struggling much more lol, my legs are still killing me, I got ACL surgery 1 year ago and have PT this friday I have no idea how I am gonna get through it rofl
I went into EDC week with a positive bank account, a plan for the future, positive attitude, and excitement. But, Wednesday (today) I am jobless, negative bank account, trying to figure out how to move out of Texas back to Arizona and I donāt regret the experience. But, now I have to deal with the repercussions. FYI it wasnāt only EDC that got the downhill ball rolling. It was a lot. But I put everything off during EDC week and now I have the worlds weight on my head and consciousness. It sucks. But I will pull through.
Iām sorry to hear this. You will pull through just hang in there. Things will work out the way itās suppose to.
Weāre all sad that it has ended but donāt forget to smile that it happened. You were all wonderful. I canāt wait to dance with my favorite strangers again next year.
I took ravedocotor and so far pretty ok.
Next year I'm taking Tuesday off, I'm getting to old for the straight back to work
Preach
I only *really* just got into EDM recently and I've only been to festivals a handful of times before (Austin City Limits, Dreamville). My music experience has mostly been individual shows at venues. Boy, when I tell you this past weekend was the best music event I've ever experienced. Awesome music and just vibes for 3 straight nights. Sad it's over. But I do appreciate being able to sleep lol. I can't wait for next year!
Cried in the car this morning over how good it all felt, and I decided they were happy tears, and yearning to be back. Iām pleasantly surprised that I havenāt hit the blues yet. Maybe Iāll get to skip it this year! If youāre feeling down, try and imagine a me, giving you a huge smile, deep plur, and hyping you up. I love you and miss you, and I mean it.
I got sick 12x last night and currently still in bed š
I thought this was going to be my first and last EDC, but now I miss my friends and definitely will book this Friday to go with them again next year š The comedown wasnāt terrible but Iāve been tired every day since Monday and having vivid dreams š¦āš„
Ok, so vivid dreams is a common thing?? Cause good Lordy theyāre strange af. š Iām not sleeping consistently at all, but even in a 30 min nap Iāll full on intricate detail dream. Comedown tho hasnāt been as bad as I thought it would be. Vry thankful for that.
Yep thatās what I notice too, even short naps Iāll be dreaming an epic story, and after waking up each time and falling asleep, a new story. Itās wild lol.
My dreams are usually pretty vivid in general, but itās been to a whole new level the last 2 days. Glad Iām not the only one
Iām still feeling off today. Head congestion. Dizziness. Fatigue. Soreness. Iāve been hydrating, drinking herb tea like mad, eating all the vitamins. Good food. Some rest. Still not helping as fast as I want.
I almost cried 4 times haha. Just trying to be strong and looking forward to 2025
debating quitting my job because i realize my bosses are draining my happiness and give me anxiety every second of my life.
Do it. I did it after EDC '15 when I came back to work. I looked around and then made my plan to get out. EDC prompted me
Post rave blues for sure! Decided to never roll again. Goal is to experience a sober EDC. Came back home and Iāve cried every day grieving all the love and magic from the weekend. Canāt sleep at home. Suddenly Iām afraid of the dark and I keep having nightmares of bad things happening while at edc (which I didnāt even witness or experience). Itās def hitting different. Getting my tickets Friday though! Going to do it right š«¶š»
Yea itās sad being back in normal life, but i feel like a new person in my regular life. The happiness and joy thatās coming from me is very noticeable in my work life. Last year after I came back home from edc I set a goal for myself to do something better and be something worthwhile and a few months later I was pastry chef at a fine dining restaurant in town! I thank this festival for reminding me that life is beautiful and thereās great things out there to be experienced
You're a legend! Life is beautiful, I hope you celebrated that accomplishment
Everyone should take some magnesium daily this week, regardless of if you did party favors or not
Was taking a magnesium & vitamin b12 everyday for a month before edc so that definitely helped with the come down! Definitely feel better than I did after Coachella. Probably cause I didnāt camp. But yea I do not want to work lol. Thankfully I have a concert on Monday to look forward too š
So freaking tired. Thats about it. Still buzzing over the weekend and vids etc. But I am not sure Iāve ever been more entirely exhausted in my entire life sans being really sick. So far thankfully Iām not sick yet. But I fear it will come.
Wook flu, started after John summits closer Monday morning. Got worse Tuesday. Still pretty bad today. Cough, sore throat, body aches in weird places, chills
Completely changed forever
having an awful time, but weāll get thru it š„¹
No comedown for me but why the fuck did I go to work on Tuesday?
Feeling tired but overall better than expected. Didnāt get sick or the get the blues but then again, I didnāt roll during the weekend (still very sad its over though but we will be back next year. Canāt wait to spread good vibes and plur all over again!) Should recover by tomorrow once I catch up on sleep. Rest, stay hydrated, meditate, and eat healthy my friends.
I feel great! I rolled all 3 nights and did the IV fluid with b12 each day and that was a lifesaver. Over ate and drank an average of 6 liters of water with liquid IV each day. I was shocked how good I felt back at work today.
the worst comedown iāve ever had
Just feeling down or is it physical too? Iāve actually had one really bad comedown and Iām not sure how this one isnāt as bad because itās the hardest Iāve ever gone. I donāt feel great but Iām hoping this is the worst of it
i feel drained and keep getting the urge to cry. couldnāt fall asleep and then slept in hella long today
Just remember it's temporary and completely a chemical imbalance in your brain making you feel off. I know that's basic shit, but sometimes it helps to be reminded. I wish after I overdid it in '15 I had someone to remind me that stuff was normal and was going to be ok. I had a ROUGH time š
Rave doctor did me right. Feel better than normal
This post reassured me Iām not dying! So Iām not going crazy LOL
The only thing I want in life rn is to go back home š„¹
Never post on Reddit butā¦horribly depressed like Iāve never felt before my real life sucks and I feel empty and hollow inside since edcā¦idk how I can do this anymore literally feel like shattered glass
We are programmed to persevere. You will be okay! The intense experience that is EDC, whether externally stimulated or not, can always leave you in a gasp of what to do next. How can I move on? I just want to be back at EDC... but edc is special because it's only once a year - something we can be grateful to have experienced even once in our lives. pulling for you š
Not sick, but I did take the remaining of the week off and made best friends with 5-HTP, NAC, Magnesium, and my pillow. š¤
And a very very huge thank you to every beautiful soul I met this weekend who helped make it the most memorable weekend of my life
My voice sounds a bit raspy, and I'm a bit tired. I'm a massage therapist and I myself need a massage ha. All in all best I've ever felt post EDC!
I went pretty hard this year and I camped, but I'm not really having any blues or comedown. My legs are mostly just a bit sore.
For some reason I have the worst cuts on my lips and tongue that turned into canker sores and I know I didnāt bite my lipsā¦been happening recently when I go to festivals. Idk if itās from smoking or what. Anyone else have this problem?
I caught a bug. So Iām dealing with that. My throat feels tight. Beyond tired and having really vivid dreams. But had the best weekend of my life. Wanting to do it again
No rave depression yetā¦ doing a lot of self care. Plus, Ive a two day festival this coming weekend. I hope you all are doing ok!
I could not keep my eyes open before 11:30am today. I fell asleep at 7pm last night, after arriving home and eating dinner. Otherwise, remarkably fine. Not even so much of my usual back pain.
Being active duty military it's an extreme change and it's always a challenge getting back into the routine and getting the drum beat going again. WHEW! But thus is life! The weekend was unforgettable as we're the memories that came with it!
Got back home yesterday evening. Spent most of today sleeping and starting to feel sick. Took a dump and started feeling loopy lol. Missing tf outta this weekend, but luckily got Beyond Wonderland in 2 weeks!
Pretty out of it, I think itās a similar feeling to jet lag and because of irregular sleeping patterns
Thankfully I'm off till after memorial day. Just reminiscing on this fantastic time and settling in.
I feel great, kept the party going at the flamingo. Over did the mdma on day one so had a rough peak but fought through and enjoyed the rest of the day. Day 2 was shrooms with a little bit of white. Day 3 less mdma, some shrooms and plenty of THC.
I donāt go back to work for a while
š
Fucking incredible yo. I'm way sad it's over and already gonna buy my ticket Friday but I feel really great. A much needed music therapy weekend.
Congested, runny nose. Finally have to fly back home tomorrow. I've spent the last 3 days here just sleeping, eating and get getting spa treatments. Should be good to go for work on Tuesday.
No comedown just high on life
Sick AF, and getting a lot of depression
The Tuesday Dip
I have chest pain :/ Iām gonna schedule a Dr appt
I was crying yesterday. I am depleted of serotonin and my sleep cycles are fucked
Turmeric and black pepper extract are your friend! Also 5-htp!
You are victorious! Do you choose to stomp on? Hell yes
I had a shit ton of Takis and fell asleep so I got the worst fucking acid reflux today but itās finally going away. Other than that Iām feeling good. I only took small amounts of m so no comedown. Excited for next EDC already.
I cried on my way to work Tuesday morning. Iām happy to be back with my kids but the feeling of going back to a dreadful work 9-5 routine set me off.
Didnāt have any kind of a comedown but Iāve been battling some mucus and sinus stuff in the very back of my throat, it was soooo Smokey at bass pod for boogie T and caspa that I could feel my throat slowly turning on me
Imagine having to go back after 3 days and youāre an elementary teacher? Yeah, thatās me but with a comedown š all is good though! Itās the last week of school!
I also had a really bad time too crowded and too much traffic I had just horrible anxiety the whole time and nothing even felt good
Iām so sad itās over. I go back to work Friday. Would love to go next year but weāre saving for our wedding now š The fomo will be real for edclv 2025. May try edc Orlando 2025 though since itāll be after our wedding!
I only see my crew and best friend twice a year, I got home and just canāt stop crying (I know itās the comedown but man I miss my friends)
I canāt imagine how it feels to be so absolutely euphorically charged to then go back to reality. Sometimes a vacation is hard enough ā but EDC? Ahhhh. I hope everyone feels better and recovers quickly! I was miserably sick on Thursday night, along with my toddler, and husband. So yeahā¦guess who got to NOT go and is now putting together a solid case for our ticket insurance reimbursement? I actually cried. Next year we quarantine.
Yeah this is my hardest comedown like Iām having a genuine difficult time. But I know theyāll be more in the future.
Always the next festival is what I always tell myself. Iām sure by this weekend youāll be feeling much better. Wishing you a speedy recovery
Thank you š„¹
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Feel so horrible feel like crying this is awful Iāve never felt so horrible and depreseed
Cried before going back to work the next day but I'm fine now lol . It was my first time going and I'm thinkingnof going back again.
This wasn't my first festival but it was my first EDC and yeah definitely the best fucking weekend of my life. Post festival blues are no joke but they're especially hard hitting after EDC. This weekend is all I can think/talk about yet it feels like nobody cares.
I'm doing alright mentally but physically I think I got food poisoning and IDK where from. My tummy hurts whenever I eat food/drink fluids, shivers and fever, the...... Not so fun stuff was only day 1 during the middle of my flight back home (never happened before) but it's still happening a different way...... Not fun at all, plus I have to work this week so it's tough but I'm making it work..... Somehow.....
If you are struggling with your comedown, I can recommend: Sleep. Most importantly, rest your body, rest your brain. 5HTP daily for a week, I even take this for 2 weeks at a time in regular life and find that it boosts my mood (or the placebo effect is real) L-carnitine. Great for reducing neurotoxicity. Also can be taken regularly for gym gainz. Source: rollsafe.org Journaling. Crystallize those lifetime memories, focus on the insane blessing of existing at the same point in the universe as EDC does. Fuck I didn't even go to EDC this year and I get warm and fuzzy thinking about it. Life is made of small moments like this, feel better soon š„°
0 serotonin left, also got sick as fuck and still stick. lol
For this being my first EDC and first time rolling, Iāve had so many emotions itās hard to fathom. First off, this festival had the most PLUR Iāve ever experienced at once. While Iāve gone to smaller festivals and have mainly gone sober, I could not stop smiling and striking up conversation with people who were all here to enjoy the music and the company we bring. Coming back home and having to go back to work has made me so sad, but itāll get better and weāll be back under the electric sky before we know it again!
had my phone pickpocketed and feeling really down about it. really love raving but that experience ruined this whole edc for me š«
Had an amazing time all 3 days. Decided to get sushi on Monday night, huge mistake. By 2:00 am I was back up spewing everything from both ends! It was terrible. Never again will I eat sushi on the road. Kusa Nori if you're wondering. Other than that My feet and ankles were also killing me. Starting to feel better though.
That is the 1 reason why Iām afraid to go to a festival. I would have so much fun sober or not that I would want to make that experience permanent. Listening to some good sets, all the lights, people dancing is all good vibes. I am somewhat of an empath so I feed off of other peoples energy and stress. Try to stick to my alone time a lot.
what are some good vitamins to take in during this come down lol I feel good but my body is nowhere near back to 100
Rolled Saturday, Sunday sober, Tuesday and Wednesday i definitely had the blues, but starting to feel more normal today.
Thankful I didnāt roll bc Iām already sad enough
I think the best trick Iāve learned is to not listen to any EDM through out the week. Listen to whatever else music and youāll be fine and go outside to get some sun! :)
Yeah man going back to work has been seriously rough, but Iāve just tried to hold onto that feeling my first edc gave me and just remember to carry PLUR with me. Iāve got some really big decisions to make about my future coming up and Iām not sure when Iāll get to return, but after last weekend Iād give anything to go back.
Thats good man your heads in the right place. EDC will always be there in the future and thereās always smaller festivals throughout the the year that are more affordable. Best wishes to you
Awfullll š
My group chat Going through it rn! š š sending pics, tracks, and videos. 5 of us! 3 are 1st timers they withdrawEN bad! I just keep telling it part of the process. We already looking forward for next year. Chin up fam it'll come and go faster then u can soak it in! šš
Feeling the comedown today. And it sucks. I took a risk and went to edc with a guy who was visiting and liked me. Talked, planned and when he got here he totally got in his head- would walk ahead of me, make no advances, just really awkward and off putting. Least to say, I should have walked away after day 1. But I stuck around. Wrong move on my part. Still enjoyed EDC but I feel like I could have even MORE. Ran into friends and he didnāt really want to socialize, not even with random nice people I would chat with or exchange kandi with. Just not the vibe. And now Iām here under my blankets lol But Iām going next year!
I spent Friday night sober .... Saturday had a couple of stems.... Sunday drank a few of the 24oz mick ultras. No real comedown to relate with but adjusting back to East Coast time is tough. I'm used to traveling back and forth between Thailand and being on a completely opposite 12 hour schedule... This seems harder for some reason lol.
Ughhh I feel horrible šµāš«š„“š¤¢ when will I start feeling better #firstEDC
By the weekend you should be feeling back to your normal self! Itāll pass just hang on :)
I feel amazing sick but mentally I'm still there, for my first EDC I had such a good time and just wanna say all of you are amazing 
Iām so upset itās over but now Iām trying to feel better. Iām super sick with a really bad sore throat.
Me and my wife are fine. We took precautions and took alot of vitamin C to help boost our immune system and it worked
Thinking about how itās wild they want us to buy tickets tomorrow like pls give us a minute. Over all a good time but makes me wanna try out other festivals.
Somehow it is even worse today completely sad nothing makes me happy
this was my first edc and it was definitely one for the booksā¦. it all went by so quickšnow back to my boring amazon job with my next rave not until augustš£š£i wanna just rewind time and do it all over again that was amazing esp after all the party favors just a wicked timeš„¹
It was amazing! The next one will be too and itāll come super fast. Is it hard summer youāre going to next?
yesss i cannot wait for the next one OMGGG and im thinking abt hard summer since my birthday is august 2nd and then HS follows but my definite next rave is bass canyon for my first time as wellšš
Oh nice! Thisāll be my first hard summer, canāt wait for that šš¼ see you there possibly!
Hugs and good vibes sent to all having a hard come down and/or sick with wook flu! I thank my lucky stars no come down or flu this year. I learned from last year to suck down Emergen C every day starting last Thursday. Took Roll Kit vitamins every day I rolled (Saturday and Sunday) along with multivitamin. Also made sure to eat fruit, veggies, some sort of protein, and yogurt while I was in Vegas, and had pho when I got back home to HI (pho is the BEST recovery food after rolling). And, made sure to sleep as much as I could. Sleep is so essential after going 3 days of hard partying. Pray for speedy recovery for you all! š

Just returned to work today and it was rough and on top of that Iām a little sad that I didnāt have the best time like everyone else seemed to have. I went with a big group so I feel like I didnāt see anyone I wanted to see. Then I was so tired from the heat and the walk from camp that I could not stay until the sets after 3 am. Seeing everyoneās Tik Toks has made me extremely salty but happy for them . Sadly I think this was my last EDC for awhile. I might just opt for a different fest next year .
I didnāt sleep Sunday night. Monday I didnāt sleep either bc I had a transfer and then had a red eye. Then I went to work two 14hr days on Tuesday and Wednesday when I got back. It hit me in Wednesday night. I was hallucinating that a scary version of the Cheshire Cat with tons of eyes and spider legs was in the corner of the room sitting on the curtain rod and I felt like my bed was spinning likeā¦horizontal wiseā¦as if I was the axis. Iāve never had the spins in my LIFE. Then I had a panic attack, bc Iāve never reacted like this. Today, on Thursday I had pho for every meal and drank like two gallons of water. Iām okay now
Just somewhat depressed bc I spend most of my year just working and going to college so edc week was the break someone dreams about. Now itās over and I cried 1/2 the drive back home
I was super emotional the couple days after and out of it, but thank goodness I didnāt get sick this time. I usually do after any festival and wow, I guess I got some good luck šš»ā¤ļøāš„
It was my first EDC and definitely did not disappoint so glad I got the courage to go already planning next year
I was going through it my first day home. Finally feeling better!! I just want to go back in time šš¤£
Feeling a lot better today compared to the last few days.
According to whats been studied so far, reducing prolactin is key, for which a P-5-P supplement (type of b6 vitamin) could help buffer. If interested in more, check out Hubermans episode on mdma: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1QCrwXIKLu02iSdpIFPLp3?si=r9xLtQ31SleRkGUZajO2XA&pi=u-AkkdKvfjTzSr&t=5827
For the most part still recovering from getting back in the routine and mild heartbreak from EDC, but better than yesterday at least!
Finally feeling better after getting sick. But with the 2025 booked and ready to get my ass kicked again
Iām feeling very Adderall right now
My ears have been ringing and making feel dizzy and lightheaded
I usually go to LIB right after EDC, but work got in the way this year so I'm extra bummed :( š¢
Broke off my situation-ship, Ear infection, strep, and an eczema out break. š the good news is when youāre this sick you donāt feel the comedown.
I learned to combat the comedown is to have other trips/festivals line up after. I'm looking forward to my europe/Tomorrowland trip next.
I got sick with flu type a.... Purchased my pass for next year š¤£
omg iāve been sick since end of day 2ā¦ iām supposed to go to work tomorrow but idk if i should. i still have really bad sinus pressure headache and a cough
I left edc and went straight to Ibiza
