Anyone else get post RPG depression after a really long one, especially a character focused one?

Yep. I played through and finished the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time a couple of years ago. If you grow attached to the characters and world it can be sad to finish the journey. It hits doubly hard when you believe it's likely you'll never play the game again. Had the same feeling when I finished my third playthrough of Skyrim. Felt like I was saying goodbye to that world for the last time because I'm not sure I'll ever dedicate another 150 hours to playing that for a fourth time rather than playing the astronomical amount of games on my backlog. Our time is finite and no matter how much we love a game we can't play it an unlimited amount of times. One playthrough of our most cherished games will be our last.

Wow that's depressing, time to get back to Astro Bot to cure that.

Yep, the longer the game is the more it gets you, I'm slightly afraid to start a Witcher 3 playthrough since the last one recked me for days afterward. I found Skyrim is set up so you can kind of slowly let the playthrough come to an end travelling around a bit same with GTA5 cause of the true open world, The Witcher 3 and Divinity OS2 are simply end screen and that's it, good look nursing the blues for the next week.
