The r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit recently hosted a heartfelt conversation addressing the infamous “Suicide Tuesday” — the emotional comedown many experience days after attending EDC. Users shared candid experiences and practical advice to tackle the post-festival low that can feel isolating and overwhelming.
One poster stressed that these feelings are a natural part of the recovery process, not a sign of weakness or failure, urging fans to prioritize hydration, rest, and patience while rebalancing after the festival’s high energy. The community chimed in with a variety of recovery hacks, including:
- Vitamin and antioxidant supplements
- Gentle movement or light exercise
- Comfort food and uplifting media
- Planning for next year’s EDC to reignite excitement
The thread also included sober perspectives and deeper reflections on managing grief intensified by the comedown. A crucial cautionary note came from a user mourning a brother lost to a fentanyl-laced pill, reminding everyone to approach substances with care and awareness.
This conversation embodies the supportive spirit of the EDC fanbase, highlighting honest mental health dialogues post-festival fused with empathy and realistic self-care strategies. For those struggling beyond the festival glow, reaching out to professional resources such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255), The Trevor Project (1-866-488-7386), and SAMHSA’s National Helpline (1-800-662-4357) is highly encouraged.
The EDC community’s openness about “Suicide Tuesday” creates a space to normalize these feelings, offer actionable recovery advice, and remind everyone that the magic of the festival extends beyond the weekend — into healing and hope.
