When I accidentally TTd Diana out of my town about a year ago, I was so, so sad about it. ;__;

It was really upsetting in the earlier games since there was no definite way to get them back. I realised after losing Lolly and Mitzi in my town that it's entirely possible to get them both back with some work, and it made me feel better. It would certainly still be upsetting if you had no certain way of knowing if they'd ever come back to your town.
I play Animal Crossing BECAUSE of sadness and depression, so naturally I get a little upset when something happens in my little town. It's just so inviting to see my little animal friends who are willing to talk, trade, and visit me when I turn on my 3DS. It makes me so happy inside!

Yeah, I've gotten depressed playing ACNL before. I remember one time, I was having a really horrible day, and I couldn't sleep at all. It was midnight, so I went to The Roost to see if my favorite character, Gracie, was there. And she was! But then I talked to her, and Gracie, being Gracie, was...not really very nice to me. I know that's just how she is, but I was so hurt that I threw up! 
Thankfully I fell asleep after that, and the next day I was able to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

ahh I've gotten really upset over cookie moving away (because I actually TT'd her out on accident) and I-I was so upset I couldn't help but break down in tears? //// Although I was rather moody that day, and generally I am a sensitive person -- I felt really terrible that I had TT'd without paying enough attention, since I generally am very careful when TTing.
But that's the only time when I felt really upset over losing a villager? I've had a few of my other villagers I've loved moved away from me mostly just not being able to play for a certain period of time, my most recent being Julian... /// It's sad, but in the end I don't think that has given me a negative impact on the game so that I always feel depressed or upset playing it. I'm very happy with my town and my current villagers, and even if that would be to change I'm sure I'd still find some way around it.

err yeah... the first villager i really liked and had to let go of was diana. i didn't really pay much attention to her at first like i just talked to her whenever i saw her and when she decided to move out i was like okay with it. then a few days after she left, i felt so empty?? so i just ended up getting her back..
I thought this was going to be a thread about depression and at first I was really confused why it was in this section hah .-.
Like others have said, I don't think depression is the correct word to use here as it's probably not what you meant. I think something like 'downcast' or 'miserable' would have been better. It kind of annoys me when people say they're depressed about something when they're not actually clinically depressed. (It's like when people call themselves OCD just because they like things to stay neat. NO.)
Buuut most people seem to use depressed as a synonym for sad, so I know what you mean. c:
Anyway, several months ago I accidentally voided Rosie. I had been lucky enough to win her in a raffle about a month earlier. I felt incredibly heartbroken and guilty and wanted to cry, since I hadn't planned on ever getting rid of her. Also her house was in a great spot. Like so so great. So I totally know how it feels when you lose a villager that you're attached to. Sure, it's "just a game" and all that, but for a lot of us it's so much more than that and these are literally our friends. It's hard to lose a friend :c
Fortunately, I now have a way of never losing my villagers and I haven't lost any others since Rosie <3
Sorry to hear about your unhappy experiences losing villagers, I hope you never have to go through it again!

I don't get very emotional in NL or attached, but I remember I used to get really sad when I would wake up and my favorite villagers in WW would out.
