PTD occurs when returning back home from traveling after a long period of time. Symptoms include loss of appetite, strong feelings of nostalgia, and in some cases, depression
PTD can last up to 1.5 times the original trip length.
In some cases PTD can develop into CAS (cynical asshole syndrome). This is usually brought on by some of your old 'non travel' friends spouting bullshit about lame ass TV shows, local issues that no one gives a fuck about and showing you pictures of their kids poo.
This time last week I was sitting on a tropical beach not having a care in world. Now I'm sitting in a fucking office listening to my colleagues talk shit about X-Factor. PTD has seriously kicked in.
Post THIMUN Depression, more commonly known as PTD, is a very serious condition. Although it sounds quite ridiculous, it is very common amongst young adults returning just returning from Den Haag, The Netherlands towards the end of January. Symptoms include:
1. Sleeping past 1 in the afternoon
2. Not wanting to go anywhere
3. Reminiscing by means of, but not limited to:
a. constantly looking at picutres from THIMUN
b. reading old MUNITYs
4. Constantly referring back to debate. For example:
a. Point of information to the chair
b. The chair would like to remind the House to speak in 3rd person
c. Point of personal priviledge!
If your loved ones have more than one of the aforementioned symptoms, he or she may be suffereing from PTD. The delegate of Tonga would like to urge the other delegates to push through these hard times and remember that there IS help.
THIMUN 2012 is on it's way.
Thank you Mr. President, have a nice day.
Delegate 1: Oh man, I can't believe THIMUN is over
Delegate 2: Me either. I miss it so much
Delegate 1: Sounds like you've got a case of PTD
