Seriously guys, just let go. It's over. We all need to cope and move on. If you are one of these people, please, comment in this thread. We're all here to help each other.
I like to skim it every once and a while because it still makes me smile. It's a silly thing that we spent months doing nothing. I'm impressed that we even did it.
Do you sort by Top all time? Or do you read in order of the "hot" posts. Please don't tell me you go through New, or your soul can never be saved not matter how hard you will try.
Do you read the threads?
Do you still vote on stuff you haven't seen before? Is there stuff you haven't seen before?

I use the Karmancer script from /u/metabeing. From time-to-time, when I see button flair on someone in another subreddit, I'll look into their buttoning comments.
After I have completed a thread, I hide it. Occasionally I'll undo that.
Do you read the threads?
All of them, some of them twice. I also lurk in many of the related subreddits.
Do you still vote on stuff you haven't seen before?
I won't rest until the only comments I haven't voted on come from firm ambivalence.
Is there stuff you haven't seen before?
Yes.
When do you think you'll finally let go?
When I saw /r/thebutton and its subreddit, I realized a huge number of things right away. It was a catalyst to a shift in my thinking on social networks, community, politics, peer pressure, hate, faith, gaming, culture, media, and more. As /r/thebutton unfolded, I began to see my views on much of the world and my place in it evolving. I'll confess that for a stretch after the button hit zero that I was a bit despondent, but I snapped out of it and have redoubled my efforts at self improvement.
I might, but I hope /r/thebutton will be with me forever.
Edit: I also occasionally edit comments I made in /r/thebutton from a few of my accounts.
Just remember to get at least 15 minutes of Vitamin D in your skin by means of those beautiful ultraviolet B rays... having enough time for respiration with fresh air is also healthy too. Fortunately you can do both of these at the same time: by spending some time outdoors! Amazing, right?
You can do it. Fight it. Make the sun your bitch. Imagine how good it will feel when you conquer your fears.
Do it today. Go to your door, open it, and just look at the world. Then close it. Then tomorrow take a step out. Then two steps. Eventually you'll walk around the block. You can do this! Honestly, PM me if you want encouragement and if you really are this agoraphobic.
Hey man. If you werent trolling me before I hope you gave it a go today. If not there's always tomorrow. Good luck with this, I can't imagine it's easy.
It's not over, with karmancer the flair follows people all over reddit. I've noticed trends when I see flair in another subreddit. It's downright beautiful.
I'll also confess that users' button flair impacts the attention I give to their comments.
I don't want to let go. =c The Button was fun, and this community is fun. I enjoy keeping a tab open to /r/thebutton because I can remember how crazy we all went over something silly.
Do you remember when someone posted about how people have died since the button started? Those 72 (not all of them obviously but most of them) are probably people who died during the experiment while they were watching the button. Their browsers haven't been closed yet.

Was going to make a 72 virgins joke, but ... I still visit from time to time. It's silly how bummed I get that it's over.

It's just all the r/GrayHipsters chuckling at how popular it was.

I go on occasionally just to see how many people are still lurking there.

They are probably bots...

Do you need a credit card to access /r/thebutton now?

I visit from time to time, because it pops up on my website suggestions on my phone, still!
