Re-entry after Burning Man 2025 (into the default world)
Post-Playa Depression (PPD): Many Burners experience a period of emotional adjustment known as Post-Playa Depression (PPD) after the event.
Symptoms of PPD: Symptoms can include feeling disconnected from the default world, questioning the meaning of existence, difficulty with routine, a desire to maintain the playa's sense of community, and a longing to return to the playa.
Coping strategies:
Connect with fellow Burners: Staying in touch with your campmates and engaging in regional Burning Man events can help you maintain a sense of community, notes Reddit users.
Apply the principles: Integrate Burning Man's principles (radical self-reliance, gifting, communal effort, etc.) into your everyday life.
Start planning for the next Burn: Thinking about future involvement can help ease the transition.
Allow for decompression time: Give yourself time to process the experience and adjust back to normal life.
Decompress in a supportive environment: Consider spending time in a transitional location like Reno or nearby hot springs to ease the shock of returning to the default world.
