Melly Syndrome

Melly Syndrome (noun)
/ˈmelē ˈsinˌdrōm/

A psychological condition marked by an overwhelming, often uncontrollable obsession with a woman named Melly — a seductive, manipulative, magnetic presence whose beauty and cruelty are equally intoxicating. Victims of Melly Syndrome typically display signs of infatuation, delusion, and self-abandonment, willingly sacrificing dignity, reason, and autonomy in pursuit of her fleeting approval.

Symptoms include:
• Persistent thoughts of Melly regardless of time, place, or consequence
• Intense jealousy, possessiveness, and insecurity when Melly is perceived as unattainable or indifferent
• A pathological need to please her, even at great personal cost
• A willingness to lie, cheat, or betray others to remain in her favor
• Paranoia and emotional instability when separated from her

Origin:
Derived from the behaviors evoked by Melly — a woman equal parts compassionate and cruel, loving and selfish. She is obsessive, narcissistic, emotionally elusive, and devastatingly alluring. Known to twist hearts with a glance and unravel egos with a whisper, she thrives on control cloaked in affection. Her presence feels like royalty — cold, radiant, untouchable — and her affection, a reward to be bled for.

Warning:
There is no known cure. Those afflicted are either destroyed or remade in her image.
“Ever since he met her, he’s been spiraling — ignoring his friends, spending every penny just to catch her attention. Classic case of Melly Syndrome.”

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
