Some people have it worse than I
Posted by Danni on January 29th, 2010
I’m just trying to deal with the fact that after agreeing not to kill myself, it turns out that I may have heart failure as a side effect of the new medication (“If you are gaining weight rapidly, this may be due to fluid retention and heart failure, possible side effects of Lyrica. Let your healthcare provider know right away if you notice rapid weight gain, as this can be a sign of congestive heart failure (CHF).”).
I’ve let two psychiatrists know so far… they’ve decided it must be the other medications, you know, the ones that didn’t change. Anyway, I deserve anything that happens to me, including heart failure.
Anyway, my life is perfect compared to the vast majority of the population, so why should I be complaining?

It’s most probably definitely:

You are right, Danni. Some people do have it a lot worse than you. Right above me is a textbook example of what it means to have No Life Syndrome. This chronic disorder is characterised by an urge to spend excessive time on things of very little merit (e.g. posting snide comments on a blog, but only after considerable research involving that well-known diagnostic manual, Wikipedia). Tragically, this debilitating condition has no known cure, although it is thought that blocking the sufferer’s IP can alleviate the symptoms somewhat.
