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.
