Post-concert depression is not a clinical condition, but it can feel like a mild form of depression or sadness. Symptoms include feeling low, empty, or emotionally drained after the event, difficulty returning to normal routines or a lack of interest in enjoyable activities before the event, a strong desire to relive the experience, and a tendency to withdraw from social interactions. It’s important to distinguish these feelings from more serious mental health conditions. If these symptoms persist or significantly impair one’s ability to function daily, it may indicate a more serious issue.

Haemorrhoids are actually normal structures at the anus, and are present in every one of us! They are blood vessels that fill and drain to help with fine control of continence in addition to the anal sphincter muscle. However in some people they do become symptomatic and can swell, bleed and even prolapse (come out of the anus) and present like a new lump around the area.
Anal cancer if present tends to be hard and fixed, may cause difficulty passing motion if large enough and may even have other symptoms associated like loss of weight and appetite. Based on your description it does not sound likely, but I would certainly suggest to go to a doctor to have it checked – even if it ends up being nothing I think it is worth the peace of mind!
