A highly contagious condition in the trenches where your mental health is fully tethered to SOL price action. Victims of SAD suffer from extreme FOMO during pumps, instant depression when they jeet too early, and random bursts of hopium when a random CTO on Twitter says “$500 EOY.” Common behaviors include panic-selling bottoms, setting alarms for every 1% move, and telling yourself you’ll DCA but actually going all-in on leverage. Side effects: dry mouth, chart-induced migraines, and screaming “WAGMI” while coping in Telegram. The only known cure is touching grass or migrating to stablecoins, but let’s be real—most SAD holders just reload Phantom and pray for the next bull run.
“Doctor said I don’t need meds, I just need to stop leverage trading — classic Solana Anxiety Disorder diagnosis.”

I was desperately trying to find the info on the VIP meeting I had this week, but couldn't find it anywhere. Since then, I have had this bizarre last-minute-zoom-link-fetching-anxiety-disorder.

The anxiety of the time between purchasing a gift and giving it to the intended recipient due to worrying about whether or not the recipient will like the gift.
I bought a tacky wolf shirt for a friend but in the month before I gave it to him before his birthday I had a horrible case of Gift Giving Anxiety.
