caremad

n. A strong emotion of anger, specifically anger that is caused or exacerbated by overly emotional attachment to a person or issue.

adj. The state of being caremad.

One can be caremad at a close friend or loved one because they are unable to separate their emotions from the situation. One can also be caremad about a highly controversial or political issue because they are unable to consider the issue analytically and without emotional bias.

The term's origins are unknown but some of its earliest usages were in the programming community, in reference to programmers who were emphatically emotional or biased in aspects of their craft. Examples of common caremad issues include the "religious war" between emacs and vim text editors, or the extreme amount of vitriol directed toward the users of Systems Hungarian Notation.

Person 1: "ARRRGHH Facebook Timeline is the STUPIDEST idea EVER, it's impossible to read and it's uglier than a neanderthal's miscarried fetus. Fuck you Mark Zuckerberg, I hope you read this and then you fucking die."
Person 2: "Whoa, caremad much?"

"Baby, I want to love you, but you just keep fucking it up."

"I'm only mad because I care."

It involves, but is not limited to, inadequate communication with the nearest person and refusals to allow the nearest person to make representations on behalf of their loved one in the situation that that person is unable to represent themselves. It may involve stone walling the nearest person when they request information to which they are allowed access under the relevant laws. It may result in psychological harm to the nearest person themselves due to the creation of additional stress as a result of the withholding of information in a situation where they feel their loved ones treatment is not appropriate in some way.

Caremasking describes the situation where details of her mums treatment were unreasonably and unlawfully withheld from the daughter in the context of the mum being held under the Mental Health law with deteriorating dementia. Creating additional but completely avoidable stress, anxiety and trauma for the daughter in the process.
